Enduring questions of spirit bodies and steam power
The excerpt debates whether the spirit can inhabit the body and act after death, likening the body to a mere mechanism through which the spirit receives impressions. It then discusses steam expansion, claiming a thousand times denser atmospheric air could yield massive pressure and potential outcomes.
