FOURTH DIMENSION
Scientists Now Accept Time as Fundamental
Factor in Scheme of Universe Instead of
Viewing It Merely as Historical Element.

actual species. To my mind this
is one OF the most deceptive Of
the auti-Darwinian heresies. A
species Is not merely a form or
group OF individuals distinguished
from other groups by definable
features. A complete definition
involves longevity. A species is
a kind OF animal or plant which
has run the gauntlet OF the ages
and persisted. Garden
and greenhouse products are I'm.
mensely interesting and instruc-
tive, but they throw little light
on the origin OF species.

Is easy to trick out a group OF
boys to look like soldiers. but you
cannot define them as such until
they have stood.
Variations Show Nothing.
So, he adds, although a green.
house variant Is easily secured,
and with some plants excessive
variability is itself a specific
character, yet temporary varia'
tions have no taxonomic (classi'
ficatory) value. "A form Is not
a species until II has stood.
Another indication of the pro-
found importance that the dimen.
sion time plays In evolution may
be discovered in a letter by J.
Howard Brown, Of Princeton. He
shows how the opposition to evo.
lutionary teaching Is an out
growth Of tradition. Certain un-
bending minds embrace with all
their strength what old teachings
have represented as truth. and
are unable to accept any variation
from such teaching. The scient-
list. who is a trained seeker for
truth, has to offer a new interpre.
tation of life, a new basis OF
ethics. which is in opposition TO
tradition"
But science "hold the key to
the situation. The key is evolu.

pretation of history, especially
the religious and literary history

Western dancing was adopted

"Stinnes owns mines wnlch

inspiration to interview the in

professor Voronoff's discovery,
while involving some personal dis
comfort, does not altogether dis
please me, for it elevates me to
my rightful position as a member
of the human race.
Until now you have classed
me in a sort of second-zone
humanity; you reproached me for
being an unsuccessful and
grotesque creation; you put me
in a cage to demonstrate that l
was no more than an animal.
And now, suddenly, everything
has changed!
You have discovered that,
apart from certain qualities Of
intelligence-and even that l. do
not admit-our two natures are
equal, but that mine Is fresh and
sturdy, whereas yours is used
and decrepit.

time must be treated as 'di'
mension," a fourth" dimension,
In addition to the three familiar
dimensions, called up-and-dow
right-and.left and forward-and-
back, by means OF which we de-
note situation and motion in cubic
space.
The point of the new view is
that nothing can be completely
described without considering it's
duration as well as its shape and
location. The time element can
not be disentangled from the
others. The universe Is a space
time continuum." Space and
time are not independent. but be-
cause time is unseeable while the
space dimensions are seeable, d.
rectly or indirectly, we are unable
to visualize the time dimension
coincidently with the others, or In
the same manner. and so we
think of 1t as being independent
of space. Only mathematics can
demonstrate the unity.
Time as a Fundamental.
or course. everybody has al
ways known that time, or dura-
ton, had to be considered as well
as space or extension in all that
we do or think of. But we con-
sidered II merely in a historical
sense and not as a fundamental
factor Of existence itself. Whether
when the new theories are per-
fected we shall find that this way
of looking at time develops i'm
portant and hitherto unsupported
results time itself alone can tell.
Meanwhile a fresh CLINT of
light is thrown upon the func-
tional importance of the dimen-
sion time by a suggestion of
David Starr Jordan to the effect
that no new species Of plant or
animal can be developed without
a liberal and sufficient time
factor being present.
This strikes at the conclusions
Of some Of the experimental or
laboratory biologists whose mis-
understood remarks recently let
loose a small but active whirl-
wind of opposition-a kind Of
dust whirl-against the teaching
Of evolution.
Says Jordan in a letter to
Science: 1T is often remarked
