The Unseen Universe

Abstract

THIS book, which rumour attributes to a co-partnery of two distinguished physicists, will at least serve to prove one thing, that scientific men are not necessarily unbelievers, and that some scientific men accept frankly and fully the whole of what is generally understood as the scheme of Trinitarian Christianity, and find in it the most adequate expression of their own physical speculations. Whether their readers agree with or differ from the authors, they cannot fail to recognise the extent of their information and the freedom of their reasoning. There is no attempt to make anything square with preconceived theories, and although we doubt whether the writers would have arrived at their conclusions without the accepted scheme of orthodox Christianity to serve them as a clue, it is equally clear that they rest them on what they think adequate scientific evidence.

The Unseen Universe; or, Physical Speculations on a Future State.
