There Is No Matter As

All Matter Originates And Exists Only By Virtue Of A Force.

As A Man Who Has Devoted His Whole Life To The Most Clear Headed Science, To The Study Of Matter, I Can Tell You As A Result Of My Research About Atoms This Much: There Is No Matter As Such. All Matter Originates And Exists Only By Virtue Of A Force Which Brings The Particle Of An Atom To Vibration And Holds This Most Minute Solar System Of The Atom Together. We Must Assume Behind This Force The Existence Of A Conscious And Intelligent Mind. This Mind Is The Matrix Of All Matter.

The Worth Of A New Idea Is Invariably Determined, Not By The Degree Of Its Intuitiveness-which Incidentally, Is To A Major Extent A Matter Of Experience And Habit-but By The Scope And Accuracy Of The Individual Laws To The Discovery Of Which It Eventually Leads.

A New Scientific Truth Is Usually Not Propagated In Such A Way That Opponents Become Convinced And Discard Their Previous Views. No, The Adversaries Eventually Die Off, And The Upcoming Generation Is Familiarised Anew With The Truth.

I Had Always Looked Upon The Search For The Absolute As The Noblest And Most Worth While Task Of Science.
