MR AS. EDDINGTON'S ROMANES LECTURE..

The Romanos Lecture was delivered in the Sheldonian Theatre at Oxford on May 24th by Mr. A. S. Eddington, Plunian Professor of Astronomy at Cambridge and President of the Royal Astronomical [Society Professor Eddington, who is rà- cognized us the leading exponent of Einstein's theories in this country, took as bis abject The "theory of relativity and its influence on scientific thought.".

The lecturer started by referring to the revolution in astronomy brought about when the Copernican. system was sub. stitute for that of Ptolemy and the pathe of the planeta, which a geocentric as tronomy had to explain by a cambrous machinery of spheres and wheel, now | appeared as simple ellipses. But the out- look of modern physica was still geccentric in regard to the frame of space and time” in which it was conceived.. "An observer in the sun would see things in a quite different "frame," and Einstein's great discovery was that there were many such systems of reckoning time and space, and that our geocentric "frame Was not uni versally applicable. the observer in the sun a circle drawn by us on the moving earth would appear an ellipse. This was the central idea of

We must become Accustomed to the idea that distance and duration and all the physical quantities derived from them were relative to quantities which altered when we passed from one observing station to another with different motion, just as we have recently learnt in economies that a pound sterling is not an absolute quantity of wealth, but in certain circumstances may be really seven- and-sixpence. So Kant said that E space and time are forms of experience," but the frame is supplied by the observer.

PEPS Your Best Salegnard.

When your throat feels hot, inflamed and sore, and too painful, to swallow anything; when you are troubled with an irritating dry cough--be wise, end the trouble by dissolving one or two infection-killing Peps tablets in your mouth.

The powerful germicidal and heaking medicine, condensed in Feps and released in air-like form, is carried with the breath inte the innermost tissues of throat, aux-tubes and lungs. These volatile Peps himes.

before it can affect the windpipe and chest, they soathe sore inflamed mem- brane, and promptly end your cold, chill or bad throat like nothing else can.

Our dusty steamy simosphere and chilly night temperatures soon search out any throat or lung weakness, but Peps so strengthen and invigorate the breathing organs that they became immune-to- Climate and disease.

tion of the applicability of the ideas to the EXTERMINATE GERM TROUBLE theory of the fourth dimension--the work of Minskowski. The world common to all observern, he mail, was' one of four dimen- sions, threw of space ac ous of time: to our experience of right-and-left, bick wards-and-forwards, up-and-down added the experience sodner-or-later. We were upt, owing to our solely terrestrial- experience, to separate the fourth dimen sion sharply from the other three and 20 think of the enduring world as composed of a continuous succession of instan- taneous states, as it were, stratified: the. instantno" representing one such stratum. But this supposed stratifica tion was an illusion, and the instan- Juneona state an arbitrary partition rented by to correspond with

FO

var geocentric outlook. What was instan taneous in our "now" was not the events but our sense-impressions of them, da we could easily see in the case of light travel- ling to us from the sun or a star. We tried to putch up this inconsistency by "allowing" for the time necessary for its transit, but the theory of relativity recog nized these "instants" us artificial par titious constructed for purposes of calcula- tion. Illustrating this point the lecturer said it was found that particles shot off from milio-active substances, which sometimes attained speeds of 100,000 miles, a second, increased in mass. This was so in our space. time frame, but in truth mass, too, was relative quantity, and from its own point of view the electron was at rest, retained its masa, and was astonished at the incredible rate with which we were flying past it. The calculatione as to the differences between our space-time frame and those of the

electron led precisely the proportionate increase of mass which was indicated by refined physical experiments. But the distortion was subjective and dependent on our transformation of the frame of space and time,

FOUR-DIMENSIONAL GEOMETRY.

Professor Eddington then pointed out that our geometry, at present concerned with the three-dimensional world, must be extended to the four-dimensional : "world. We must not only speak of time-triangles" as well as space-triangles, but must learn to combine both in a new four-dimensional geometry. This led on to a discustion of gravitation under the aspect of relativity. Be imagined an observer failing from an neroplane, but in vacuo. From his hand he lets go an apple, which continues to fall poised in contact with his hand; in other words, in his new time-space frame it is ut. rest. This was the natural frame of the observer. Newton had to inveut a myster jous force dragging the apple down; the apple observed only a familiar physical agency propelling Newton up!

Einstein had changed our picture, and just as we had already found that a flat. map, such as Mercator's Projection, did not truly represent the earth, so now we wore finding that a flat-Euclidean frame did not fit the world, for it was not flat but curved. Einstein had propounded a new theory of gravitation, which was remarkably confirmed at the total eclipse of the sun in 1919. He attributed the gravitation of massive bodies to a curvature of the world in the region surrounding them; his new law was not a reversal, but only am li- cation of Newton's law, which proved to be a rough generalization holding in our space-time frame, but not consistent with what was now known of the general plan of world-structure.

In all felds, Professor Eddington con- cluded, scientific thought was being revolu tionized, but the revolution was the natural, sequence of earlier revolutions. Einstein's theory crowned the work of Copernicus, but it would, in due course, sink into the commonplaces of educated thought
