Professor Lodge argued that time and .space must be continuous, and aether must be the real physical agent. We cannot observe it, because it is omnipresent, uniform, and all-pervad-ing. He emphasised that aether was the universal connecting medium, binding particles of matter together and making a coherent whole, instead of a chaotic collection of independent isolated fragments. It was the vehicle for the transmission of all force, from gravitation down to cohesion and chemical affinity. It was, therefore, the store house of potential energy. He avowed his belief in a persistence of personality beyond bodily death, as evidenced by physical researches. He remarked "We are deaf and blind to the imminent grandeur around us unless wo have insight enough to appreciate the whole and recognise in the woven fabrics of existence the evergrowing garment of a transcendent God. Evidence goes to prove that the discarded intelligence may interact under certain conditions with us on the material side, thus indirectly coming within the scientific ken."
