"As for your astronomers who teach of the heavenly bodies, they need
better, finer instruments to get correct answers to their findings.
For at times there are what we call interference between the Earth
planet and Mars or any other planet, of a gaseous formation which is so
fine that it cannot be detected by any instrument you have at present,
yet will give you distorted readings or distorted knowledge of your
findings, and especially in your distance calculations and your color
definitions, be it through the sight or be it through the spectrum.
There is much to be altered in these findings before the absolute truth
is known by your people on Earth."
Here Dr. Johnston interrupted saying, "but we have done well with what
we have to work."
The acknowledgment came and the Martonian speaker said, "yes, but you
also became egotistical over your findings, which are half truths,
thinking you got it all. To have a complete success the law of
relativity must be the foundation upon which any society or any truth
be founded. And this is where the coordinating comes in of all branches
of endeavor. No findings, it matters not how great, should be exalted
over any other which might be much lesser, for it is one helping the
other, and through a relative understanding a unit is realized. This
is where the men of science on Earth are lacking."
"Again I repeat, you have done very well with what you have, but you
could do much better if you depended a little more on your feelings,
as we do, at least as much as you do on your mechanical devices. In
that way you would be able to detect errors much quicker. It would also
lessen the time on research which now you spend going into years in
computation, looking for error. To be a full fledged scientist one must
acknowledge all phases of manifestations, be they labeled spiritual or
material, so long as they are natural. Therefore natural laws must be
studied and understood before one can become a good scientist, because
natural laws are causes of effects since natural laws are stable. And
this means all the phases that can be realized by men, which includes
all forms of science. For when one form of science operates independent
of another and does not exchange its information with all others, many
errors are made. We have found by working together as one, our findings
are almost absolute, for when any one branch of science discovers
something or comes upon a problem, he consults all other branches
to solve it, while scientists on the Earth, astronomers as they are
named, seldom consult other branches which are considered lower than
theirs. Do not forget that this vastness is one system and takes in all
branches of science."
