- W4238793826 abstract "THE problems of physics are manifold, and tend to increase in number and in difficulty. Fifty years ago there was a general feeling that we had only to proceed- steadily in the application of familiar dynamical principles to explain all the phenomena of inanimate nature. Some men of science would have included in such an explanation the facts of animate nature as well. How different is the position to-day! Sir Oliver Lodge, in the illuminating address which appears as a supplement to this issue, expounds the difficulties and perplexities which now face the natural philosopher, summing them up in the two words, “ether” and “electrons.” The relativist may, for his own special purposes, ignore the ether, but Sir Oliver claims that as we find ourselves imbedded in ether and matter, it is necessary to take stock of our position and consider how much it is possible to ascertain as to etherial properties. The outstanding problems of our time, that of radiation on one hand and of atomic structure on the other, have been at least partially solved by the electro-magnetic theory of Clerk Maxwell and the electron theory which owes so much to his successors at the Cavendish Laboratory. But the still greater problem of relating these theories. satisfactorily to one another and to the disquieting results embodied in the modern theories of quanta and relativity still awaits the revealing power of the master mind. The acceleration of an electron generates waves. In photo-electricity we find that radiation can fling out an electron with a surprising amount of energy. There is thus a remarkable reciprocal relation between light and electrons. With characteristic boldness Sir Oliver Lodge tackles the relations between radiation and matter and suggests—in the form of a question, it is true—that the actual generation of an electron by means of light is not an altogether impossible idea. The suggestion is perhaps not entirely new, but it has never been stated with such clearness and force, and deserves the serious consideration of scientific thinkers." @default.
