THE MODERN OUTLOOK IN PHYSICS.
SIR OLIVER LODGE AND THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM.
PROTEAN FORMS OF SPACE AND THE ELECTRON.
TRANSMUTATION OF FORMS OF ENERGY.
The new outlook in physics is of the greater generalisation called summarised by Sir Oliver Lodge in space-tiine; and there is beginning La contribution to the Scientific a great unification which, in spite American (New York). Briety, Sirf present complexity, seems likely Oliver believes that all the familiar to lead to an ultimate simplifies things about us-matter, energy, electricity, gravitation, perhaps "Electricity and magnetism.

To find out what that space is, and what are the modifications through which it can assume such prutean forms, is the problem that confronts modern physics-a single problem instead of the score that formerly worried us, but one of in- fuite complexity and difficulty.
The Blurred Electron. Writes Sir Oliver:-
The electron was one of the objects on which our scientiac observer feasted his eyes, at the be ginning of this century as a definite spack of brightness. But now it is drawing itself out, and seema, more like a comet than a fixed star. Its Boundaries have become blurred and
its locality indefinite. From one point of view the definite points of light seem merging into a sort of continuum; while, from another, & continuous luminosity gathers itself together into discontinuous points.
"The gain of deâniteness, on the one hand, is mingled with a loss of definiteness on the other. A con. continuities, and yet discontinuities tinnum seems breaking up into dis- show signé of merging into a con- tinuam. It is impossible to say what the outcome will be and it would be rash to make the attempt. Suffice it to say that a greater unity is beginning to be discerned throughout the material cosmos: and that the initial stages of some comprehensive anification are of great interest for the present and of good hope for the future.
"Let us trace these unifying resemblances more in detail.
The atom has yielded up somme of its secrets; and so have the stars. The two things, so different in scale, are more alike than bad been ex pected, and investigation of the one helps our knowledge of the other.

A department called bio- physics is growing up which seeks to investigate the interaction of life and matter. Perhaps life is a mo- difcation of space too?!
Animated Matter.
"Animated matter obeys the laws of physics and chemistry. Just as ordinary matter does, but yet it has something super-added-a kind of spontaneity, a sort of self-determi nation."

There seems no doubt about that, although the intimate or ultimate nature of radiation we do not yet know. We realise that it is a modification of space, and we can follow the modification in time. But what unmodified space is like and what time is like we do not know,
Magnetic Field,

"The immediate problem of the future is to weld together the newer and the older discoveries into an all-embracing system. We must transcend matter and formulate the properties of the fundamental ch tity which filis space and endures in time. The mind is stretched to the utmost, but we do not despair. The universe, is in harmony with the human mind, when that is suffi- ciently informed and enlightened to perceive the grandeur of truth.
