Show THOUGHT WILL RULE WORLD Scientist Asserts Ships at Sea Will Be Controlled From Shore and Gasoline Will Be Grown Like Corn. In the lobby of a big Fifth avenue club one evening recently, a group of scientific men were discussing the war as being the necessity that will bring about some startling inventions, notes a New York correspondent. If the sprinkling of intellectural luminati were not stamped by genius, it is probable prob-able that an ordinary bystander would have tapped his forehead knowingly. One of them was telling about a scientist sci-entist who is already telephoning to airplanes without wires. And another quoted a famous inventor who said that it would only be a short while until all telephone wires would be abolished abol-ished as unessential. "The fact is," he said, "that telephone tele-phone wires do not in reality carry our messages. Every scientist knows that. Back of it all is the great process proc-ess of thought which we are only beginning be-ginning feebly to understand. "The more we delve into this process proc-ess of thought whatever It is the more we come to the conclusion that the material phenomena Is the projection pro-jection of thought. We konw that every ev-ery material thing comes from a thought or an idea. "We are arriving at the conclusion that even space is thought, for we are annihilating space every day through a thinking process. It will not be many generations before every ship at sea is controlled by thought from shore. Our trains are going to be run1 without fuel, and we are going to grow gasoline just like we raise corn." |
