This book represents the author's attempt to give in very brief form some of the most significant changes in fundamental concepts which have resulted from the extraordinary advances made in recent years (1932) in the field of experimental physics. These changes obviously have important bearings not only on physics but on the whole outlook of mankind toward nature, and hence toward life. They show that the great blunder which the physics of the past has made has consisted in extending its generalizations with undue assurance into fields in which they have not been experimentally tested in treating these generalizations as fixed, universally applicable principles instead of as essentially working hypotheses. This has led in the past to a dogmatism in science which is at bottom indistinguishable from dogmatism in theology or in any other field. Dogmatism in any field is assertiveness without knowledge. But the physicist has recently (1932), through his blunders and his new experimental findings, learned a a lesson of open-mindedness which cannot fail to influence other fields of thought. Philosophy and theology, as well as biology and psychology, are sure to profit from it.
