About This Book

Aimed at general readers, the author uses the idea of polarity as a unifying principle to link experiments with magnets to phenomena in chemistry, physics, and ether theory, and to extend analogy into energy, molecular and atomic theory, and religious and moral thought. Scientific chapters explain molecules, atoms, ether, and conservation of energy; philosophical portions apply the polarity concept to metaphysics, Zoroastrian and other religious ideas, and practical ethics, arguing that religious and philosophical systems must adapt to modern scientific understanding while promoting tolerance and charity.
