20919	How can things without weight compose weight?
	Full Idea: How could weight come about out of things composed of what is without weight?
	From: Alexander (On Aristotle's Metaphysics Book 2 [c.200], p.36.21-27)
	A reaction: This is obviously why Epicurus added weight to the features of atoms. Alexander seems unaware of this move.
