Abstract

IF I return to this question, it is because I am so deeply impressed by its importance1. If Sir Arthur Eddington's theory is sound, its consequences are tremendous—to physics, to philosophy and to humanity. A peculiarity of the situation is that there can be no middle way; the theory must be either entirely right (apart possibly from unimportant details) or entirely wrong.
