THE difference between theory and practice is admirably illustrated by our solid, three-dimensional brain-minds theorising about fourth and other dimensions of space and `matter', and yet visualising a cyclic universe the radiations of which are related only to the superficies of matter! It seems that most of us are still unable to form actual conceptions of the depths of space as a condition different from the depth of a three-dimensional form of physical matter in space. Tyndall believed that the sum of Nature's energy is constant, and that ``the utmost man can do in the pursuit of physical truth or in the applications of physical knowledge is to shift the constituents of the never-varying total... the flux of power is eternally the same.'' Tyndall surely did not imply by this that ``just as much matter is created as destroyed'' (NATURE, April 28, p. 674). He seems to distinguish the constituents from the flux of power with which, say, a sixth-dimensional mind might be quite happy without our physical constituents.
