Physics

Scientific paper

THE remarkably eloquent Rede Lecture and subsequent small book on ``The Mysterious Universe'', in which Sir James Jeans seeks to envisage the trend of modern physics in a philosophical direction, will, as is said in the News and Views columns on page 731 of NATURE of Nov. 8, awaken much thought and some disagreement: a result which the conclusion of his preface seems to desire. Certainly he does not scruple to press his conclusions with the utmost boldness wherever they apply, and to display their bearing in many surprising directions. The fact that his contentions about modern physics go far in a direction which specially appeals to me makes me the more critical of what seem their weak points, and a friendly reference may be made to a few places where I join issue with him. He is not an easy person to disagree with, for his knowledge is profound ; but one point concerns the meaning and existence of an ether.
