NEW THEORY is TABOOED.
"Modern Dream of Ready Dreamer
Says Prof. Richards.

Boston, July Pin an interview
Professor T. w. Richards of the chem
ical department at Harvard express
ed himself as skeptical about the new
theory of the universe propounded
recently in London by British scien-
lists. He said:
The new discovery which has been
heralded in London as a discovery
that would. revolutioniZe science is
but an interesting hypothesis, mod
ern dream of a ready dreamer.
There is no doubt that this So
called radium is a new manifestation
of energy in matter that tends TO an
amplificatiOn of the case concerning
that of the discussed subject, but to
say that it takes the place of matter,
and that matter is a thing of the
past, is a radical statement which
the facts do not bear out.
The facts concerning radium are
the most important that have been
brought out for 26 years. but no con-
ClusiOn has been deduced to show
that matter and electricity are one
1t is one Of the many hypothesis that
can be drawn from the facts concern
ing this new substance, but there are
many hypothesis that can be drawn
from this same subject. This partic-
ular one may be correct, but that re-
mains to be proved.
This conclusion is like the one a
man makes who has invested s. in
stocks, with the expectation of get,
ting 100000. He might get the
S1,000,000, but he could hardly say
that he had it in his pocket.
1T is the same old difficulty over
the words hypothesis and fact
Dreamers like CroOkes and Lodge (for
they have always been dreamers) are
prone to jump at conclusions when
they have hypothesis and very
weak hypothesis. They are not the
worlds foremost seekers after the
ultimate secrets of the universe but
they are of the most radical group of
scientists. They have no right 10 say
from the facts in their possession
that electricity and matter are one
nor can they state definitely how
many ions there are in an atom. Such
statements are not worthy of true
scientists.
One Of the most important mat
ters which is not mentioned in the re-
port which has come from London is
the temperature Of this new sub
stance. Radium is three degrees CEN
Upgrade warmer than the other sub
stances with which it comes in con
tact
