FAMOUS THINKER'S
NEW THEORY.
(Continued from Page' 5.),
Einstein paused. To his bearer, "the feeling of having listened to words which 'in the best and least sentimental senso of Matthew Arnold's phrase might well bo described as words, of "sweetness and light" was coloured pleasantly. by the tone of Einstein's voice. Its melodious accents acomed the perfect vehicle for the transmis- sion of clarified thought.
"So," continued Einstein, "my attempt was to find by speculativo mathematical methods this unity in the forces of nature,
"Speculative physics has of lato' been reborn. But to its great harm, and quito unjustly, many persons still contend against the speculative factor in physics.
"I need only recall that during the classical period-the great period of physcin-thought was always speculativo. When New- ton postulated absolute puro space, free of substance, he knew that this space was the specula- tive element in his physics. He knew the weakness of this 'con- cept of space, but he needed it, and that he consciously used his theory despite the weakness ho knew was in it, constitutes his greatness.
"After that, for a very long time, physicists Jacked the speculative will to bring about the unification of our "view of the Coamoa.
A New Step Forward,
"The famous physicist, Ernest Mach, was the first to set forth, at the beginning of his theoretical physics, a philosophical principle,
"This was the demand that the structure of physics should be erected with the smallest possible number of hypotheses. Progress in this direction was achieved by the relativity theory, which put upon the same footing the pheno- mena of weight or gravitation and the phenomena of inertia.
"To explain inertia, Newton hind to postulate absolute space.
"According to the general theory of relativity; the forces which cause a stone to fall to the ourth are the same as the forces which shove the traveller forward in his scat when the train in which he is riding suddenly stops,
"In the same way, the relativity theory reduced to one formula all laws which govern space, time and gravitation, and thus it cor responded to the demand for simplification of our physical con- cuple.
the
"The purpose of my work is to further this simplification, and particularly to reduce. 10 олс formula the explanation of field of gravity and of the field of electro-magnetism. For this reason I call it a contribution to 'a unified field theory."
"I presume that it may be of the same significance for our con- cepts of nature, as were the disf coveries of Maxwell and Heriz about the nature of electric waves, They revealed that electro-mag- netism-that most mysterious force--is fundamentally of the same nature' as that of light-que of the phenomena best known to us. ."
Problems of Ray System. "Hertz proved that what is true af light is also true of électric rays. We know that light rays could be reflected in mirrors and could be broken up in various media, and could be concentrated by concave mirrors. Hertz proved that electric rays could be treated in the same way.
"Whole evolution of physics has yone In this direction toward harmonisation.
