Synopsis

The young people of today are learning about an entirely different universe from the so-called "classical" science of the days when the author went to school. The new conceptions will appear as commonplace to the coming generation as they are incredible to those of the author's generation. It has been therefore the main object of this book to start the boy and girl of today with a fair comprehension of the new conceptions of space, time, and matter. Over and over again, and from different points of view, the author has endeavored to make some of these marvelous discoveries clear. Also an effort has been made to show the relationship of one branch of physics to another, and how one law, used as a tool, can be made to formulate grand laws of primary importance.
