Abstract
DR. JEANS states in his Kelvin Lecture to the Institution of Electrical Engineers, published as a Supplement to NATURE of March 7, that our own physicists have asked for a machine, while “the more metaphysical minds of the Continent have usually been content to accept action at a distance.” He goes on to say “it is something more than a coincidence that Newton, Clerk-Maxwell, Kelvin, and Faraday are all British, while Boscovitch, Einstein, and Weyl are not.”
