Nay more; the very hitting of its mark presents another strange puzzle, which seems to defy the principles of causation and of the uniformity of rature and to take us into the realm of chance and pro bability. The significant thing is that this strange quantum charac- ter of the universe is not the result of theory but is an experimental fact well attested from several de, partments of physics.

Our microscopic concepts may not fit this ultra-microscopic world of the quantum. And our best hopes for the future are founded on the working out of a new system of concepts and laws suited to this new world that has awum into the ken of selence.

We may summarise these remarks by saying that the vastly improved technique of research has led to physical discoveries in recent years
which have at last completely shat, tered the traditional common-sense view of the material world. A new epace-time world has emerged which, is essentially immaterial, and in which the old-time matter, and even the scientific mase, gravitation and energy stand for no independent en- tities, but can best be construed as configurations of space-time. And the discovery of the quantic proper ties of this world points to still more radical transformations which loom on the horizon of science. The complete recasting of many cate- gories of experience and thought may ultimately be involved.
From the brillant discoveries of physical science, we pass on to the advances in biological science which, although far less revolution- ary, have been scarcely less important for our world out- look. The most important blo- logical discovery of the Inst century WBB the great face of organic evolution; and for this fact the space-time concept has at last como to provide the necessary physical basis.
