Precipitation of Matter
Precipitation of Matter
One of the phenomena of Spiritualism known as the "passing of solids through solids." The theory suggests before one solid body passes through another it is resolved into its component atoms, to be precipitated in its original form when the passage is completed. Camille Flammarion suggested a parallel: the passage of a piece of ice (a solid) through a napkin. The ice passes through the napkin in the form of water, and may afterwards be re-frozen.
