In view of the relations which I have established betweenthe three forms of universal repetition,the above preconception suggests the error of the old—time physicists,whosaw in every physical action between two distant bodies,likethe imparting of heat or light,the proof of a transmissionof matter Did not Nexvton himself think that the diffusion of solar light was produced by the emission of particlesprojected by the sun through boundless space? There isas much difference between my point of view and the ordinary one as there is in optics between the vibratory theoryand the theory of emission.Of course I do not deny thatthat there are reasons for thinkmg that the astonishing likeness betweenthis two—headed eagle and the eagle which is also two—headed and whichfigures upon the most ancient bas—reliefs of Mesopotamia.
