Of the experiments of Hertz, in inducing vibrations "in ether waves,"
Professor Fitzgerald says: "If we consider the possible radiating
power of an atom, we find that it may be millions of millions of
times as great as Professor Wiedermann has found to be the radiating
power of a sodium atom in a Bunsen burner; so if there is reason
to think that any greater oscillation might disintegrate the atom,
we are still a long way from it."
Here we have an admission that the atom may be divisible; but the
professor's conjecture is made upon an incorrect hypothesis. The
"possible theory of ether and matter" which Professor Fitzgerald puts
forward, in his lecture on Electro-Magnetic Radiation, is in harmony
with Keely's theories. This hypothesis explains the differences
in nature as differences in motion, ending: "Can we resist the
conclusion that all motion is thought? Not that contradiction in terms,
'unconscious thought,' but living thought; that all nature is the
language of One in whom we live, and move, and have our being?" This
great truth the Buddhists have taught for ages. There is no such thing
as blind or dead matter, as there is no blind nor unconscious thought.

"MORE SCIENCE."
The only hope for science is more science.--Drummond.
"Philosophy must finally endeavour to be itself
constructive." Here Professor Seth laid stress on the necessity
of a teleological view of the universe, not in the paltry,
mechanical sense sometimes associated with the word teleology,
but as vindicating the existence of an end or organic unity
in the process of the world, constituting it an evolution
and not a series of aimless changes.... As Goethe taught,
in one of his finest poems, we do well to recognize in the
highest attributes of human-kind our nearest glimpse into
the nature of the divine. The part was not greater than the
whole, and we might rest assured that whatever of wisdom and
goodness there was in us had not been born out of nothing,
but had its fount, somewhere and somehow, in a more perfect
Goodness and Truth.--Review of Professor Seth's address.
Believe nothing which is unreasonable, and reject nothing as
unreasonable without proper examination.--Gautama Buddha.
I do not believe that matter is inert, acted upon by an
outside force. To me it seems that every atom is possessed
by a certain amount of primitive intelligence.--Edison.
