Death, lie claims, is all a result of the victory of pressiu,e" over "suction."' Could some moth-j oil be found to equalize these two, 1 Lawson claims, there is no reason why man could not live indefinitely, ! "Suet ion and pressure," accord- ing to Lawson, who built the pas- 1 senger airliner, which made the I trip from Milwaukee to New York' and back in 1010, "are tbe basis of life; without them man cannot live. The suet ion of air into the luims causes man to live by enabling him to overcome the pressure from wit limit. li-mit. Pressure is the destroying clement, cle-ment, suction the one that builds up. "Through childhood the power of suction is stronger and this remains re-mains true up to maturity, when tho two, suction nnd pressure, are equalized. Then gradually the pressure from without takes the lead and eventually destroys the power of suction. Then deuth occurs." oc-curs." I Lnwson goes further in his "suction-pressure" theory by tracing it back to "penetrability," which he claims, Is the basic law of movement. move-ment. That is, according to Lnwson, Lnw-son, something must penetrate something else before there is any movement. "The act of penetration," Mr. Lawson said, "as man penetrating the air. a fish iMMietrating th? 1 water, causes suction which moves! everything with it. Scientists' claim the cause of movement is only n minor factor resulting from penetrability." |
