3246. There is one question in relation to gravity, which, we could ascertain or touch it, would greatly enlighten us. It is whether gravitation requires time. It if did, it would show undeniably that a physical agency existed in the course of the line of force. It seems equally impossible to prove or disprove this point; since there is no capability of suspending, changing, or annihilating the power (gravity), or annihilating the matter in which the power resides.
