Once calmed, it naturally expands, and ultimately her mind becomes as vast and immeasurable as the night sky.

Laozi

What appeared to the earlier physicists to be the constant quantity of heat is nothing more than the whole motive power of the motion of heat, which remains constant so long as it is not transformed into other forms of work, or results afresh from them.

It settles nothing.
