Abstract
IT is impossible in the space of a letter to deal adequately with all the points raised by Sir Archdall Reid. He has no doubt read most of the well-known expositions of relativity, but perhaps I might refer him to Professor Eddington's latest book, “The Nature of the Physical World”. I know of no clearer or more generally admirable account of the relativity of space and time than that contained in its early chapters. Here I can only answer summarily the particular questions asked.
