Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Realities of Modern Science: An Introduction for the General Reader The present volume is intended for the general reader, interested in modern science, who finds few clews to recent advances in his memories of the formal instruction of school or college days. During the last twenty years physical research has penetrated the mysteries of the chemical elements and has demonstrated that their atoms are granular in structure and electrical in nature. Transmutation - the dream of the alchemists - is to-day recognized as a natural process in the case of radioactive substances. An element common to all matter has been found in the electron which has been isolated and studied. It is a reality of modern science and in terms of it scientists are rapidly explaining the phenomena of all physical science, the essential unity of which its discovery has emphasized. The existence of electrons and their determining effect in the composition of the chemical elements are easily demonstrable facts, compared to which the indestructibility of matter is a speculative assertion and the independence of mass and speed an exploded theory. Nevertheless our education is so constrained by established curricula and text-books adapted thereto, that a knowledge of these facts is usually acquired only by college students who elect the more advanced courses.
