Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theosophical Quarterly, Vol. 19 In the same Reply, we are told that the 'adepts' of the Good Law reject gravity as at present explained. Particular interest attaches to these two passages, because of the presence, in the United States, of Dr. Albert Einstein, the Swiss mathematician, who is the most widely known critic of the older conception of gravity, and the most conspicuous, though far from being, the first, advocate of a four-dimensional world. Because of his visit and the brilliant expositions which heralded it, both the idea of four dimensions and the criticism of gravity were daily dis cussed by the newspapers, with almost startling familiarity. It may fairly be said that the conception of a four-dimensional world is no longer near; it has arrived. Students of Theosophy are interested in this fulfilment of a fore cast made nearly forty years ago, for several reasons. To begin with, they are interested in the idea of a four-dimensional space; though they may not think of it in quite the same way as do Dr. Einstein and his fellow mathematicians. We measure in three directions: length. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
