Our microscopic concepts may not fit this ultra-microscopic world of the quantum.

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.
