Pores [in Physics]
Pores [in Physics] small
interstices or void spaces between the particles of matter, that constitute
every body, or between certain aggregates or combinations of them.
Mr.
Boyle
in his essay on the porosity of bodies, proves that the most solid bodies that
are, have some kind of pores; and indeed if they had not, all bodies would be
alike specifically weighty.
