This poem asserts that the world is composed of an infinite number of constantly falling ?
This book's second section compares the joy of possessing the truth while others search in vain to standing on shore watching a shipwreck or watching a battle from a safe place. Its third section argues that a living being's vital spirit dissipates into space after death rather than being immortal. Sadly, the existence of furries refutes its fourth section's assertion that "the one stimulus that evokes seed from the human body is the human form." This book refutes the idea that types of matter are made up of particles of that substance by likening particles to letters that combine to form different words. Its sixth and final section attempts to debunk superstition by discussing natural phenomena like earthquakes, volcanoes, and epidemics, such as the 430 BCE plague that befell Athens. This poem asserts that the world is composed of an infinite number of constantly falling ? atoms, which cause free will because of their clinamen, or swerve. Addressed to Gaius Memmius, for 10 points, name this poem that describes the world through the philosophy of Epicurus, written by Lucretius.
