He argued that light does not consist of waves, but comes in bullets or particles, "quanta." Experiments made on X-rays by Oompton of Ohicago confirmed this theory. In 1927 Dr. Werner Heisenberg built on this basis the daring new theory called "The Principle of Uncertainty" or "Indeterminacy." The quantum theory as well as Heisenberg's principle is so involved with the intricacies of higher mathematics that the layman is unable to form a mental picture of these new scientific principles. As a matter of fact they can be conceived only mathematically. But they belong to the standard doctrine of physics as it is now taug'ht in the universities. Now, the deductions made from the quantum and indeterminacy principles are such as to shake the very foundation of materialistic philosophy. Thus Dr. John O. McLennan, Professor of physics in Toronto University, said in an addresss delivered May 26, 1931, regarding Heisenberg's discovery: "Here divine intervention enters the picture." And again: "There, then, is room for divine intervention, for free will apart from mathematical predestination. There apparently is the point where something apart from physical laws can enter. That is a very comforting thought. There is no clash between science and religion. They are complementary. One makes provision for the other." More and more the very concept of matter disappears and the most up-to-date scientific speculation is proceeding along lines of spiritualism, idealism, the recognition of the supernatural, of the divine. The world is not only the product of intelligence, but is receiving its inexhaustible flow of energy from a divine source. Behind all waves of cosmic energy is God. THEODORE GRAEBNER.
