Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The New American Order of Arithmetic<br/><br/>But land, or water, air, light, heat, sound, time, the planets, comets, occupying or passing through space, are subjects of measure or number. Time, however, is not a substantive quantity, and it must therefore cease With the motion of bodies by which it is measured. Every atom, and every organized body in the universe, counts one, a unit; a grain of sand, a rose, a house, the state, a star, the universe itself is one. Every unit occupies a space from which it excludes all other units; therefore order and extension are essential to numbers.
