"Yet, knowing what we do about the structure of the atom, of
electronic activity, of quantels, we must admit that there is a
huge, unoccupied space--that is, we can't see that it is occupied--

"It is in the region, mingled and intertwined with the electrons
which make up the world we know so well, that--in my opinion--the
Thomahlian world exists. It is actually coexistent with our own.
It is here, and so are we. At this very instant, at any given

entirely different from what any one has suspected has been found.
Time will tell. I am willing to wait."
To make it complete, it is felt that the following statement of

degree.
