Sir Oliver Lodge aald: "Dr. Dirac has propounded a new theory of mutter and space which may be truc. I think it is,

"He goes down more funda- mentally to, the secret of the atom than ever before. It has always been a puzzle to know: what a proton was. Dr. Dirac has found that it is an electron with negative energy, which be haves as if it had a positive) charge."

Explaining Gravity.

Dr., F. E. Smith, head of the Department of Industrial and Scientific Research and 'president of the Mathematical and Physical Science Section, said: "It may be the means of helping us to the great goal of explaining gravity. That, is not explained by existing theories."

Professor Lennard-Jones, Pro- fessor of Theoretical Physics in Bristol University, said: "There appears to be no reason why an efection should not have large! negative energies as well as posi- tive energies and why an electron should not switch from one to the other.

"Dr. Dirac, in his paper, ae cepts this logical conclusion and shows that the world can be thought of as consisting only of electrons. Most of the states of- negative energy are occupied but those which are not-the "holes" as it were appear to our senses as units of positive electricity or protons.

"Dr. Dirac realises that it does not explain why the proton has a mass which is 1,800 times as large as the electron. According to Dr. Dirac's new theory they should have the same mass.”
