SCIENTIST EVOLVES
NEW SPACE THEORY

Russell, In Book Out To-Day,
Attacks Present Beliefs
'SOLIDS ARE. ELECTRICITY'
Energy Forces Welded To-
gether by Gravitation,He Says
Walter Rus,seU, President of the
I
Society of Arts and Sciences, believes
he has evolved a. new theory to ex-
plain the laws of splltce and the
heavenly bodies that move in it.
Let our scientists bend their ener-
gies to the understanding of thls
l"simple" principle, according to Mr.
Russell, and an ocean steamshlp like
the Leviathan could easily produce
her own fuel from sea water "in a
machine not larger than & newspaper
printing press."
This new theory ls expounded in
Russell's new book, "The Russell
Genero-Radiative Concept, or the
Cyclic Theory of Continuous' Mo-
tion," which is out to-day. It Is an
Ie . elaboration and expansion, he states
in the preface of his book. "The
Universal One," published four years
ago.
Criticises Modern Science
It was in that book, he states. that
he specifically outlined the unity of
electricity and gravitation, which,
three' years later, was .announced- by
Einstein without "crediting hlm with
priority of discover'"
In his new book Mr. Russell sug-
gests that a "major surgical operation
upon the present beliefs" Is the only
salvation for present-day science.
The writer opens his attack upon
these bellefs by challenging Newton's
principle that the planets would fall
a into the sun and the moon into the
earth if their orbital motions were
stayed. This he claims to have proved
untrue by a "solar graVitational" ex-
periment in whi-ch a miniature modeH
- of the sc-lar system Is set up, with
- 1ts poles Similarly placed. When all
these revolving planets and
e are stopped they show no inclination
to fall in to one another.
r
other Incorrect Notion!!
1 Even our notions of gravitation and
.. radiation are , incorrect, Russell
L. further asserts. Solids are composed
I. of electricity and owe their existence
r to the power of gra vi ta tion to keep
1. electrical forces welded together into
- what we term solids. Gravitation he
defines as being the "charging posi-
tive force which pulls inward from
within. while radiation is the dis-
charging negative force which pushes
outward from within."

apart by another, these two poles de- a:
ciding the potential relations and Sl
orbital motions of any two heavenly II
bodies. d
"This hitherto undiscovered spatial CI
control of mass," Russell goes 'on, "is fl
the connecting link between mind sj
and matter, the invisible and the
visible universes. All soUds are merely
polarized extensions of the et)ntrol-
ling poles in space and obey their
w11l, just as man-made machines are
extensions Of men's minds and obey
their will."
,Weight Is DImension ,
On this theory it follows, according
to Ru.ssell. that moving bodies have
no weight and that weight is a
dimension of motion, just as tem-
perature in all Its changes rises from
and settles back to its position of
equilibrium at zero. I
The Russell' tries to disprove
the generally held belief that like
charges repel and OPpOSite charge:;
attract one In point of fact
he would have us believe all masses
are doubly chiuged, or, to put it dIf-
ferently, there is no such thing as
a negative charge, for that is but an- a
other way of designating a discharge,
"Many new metals of great value to S,
industry can be secured," he c'on- v
tends, "by understanding nature's '"
simple but hitherto unknown princi-
plES. Carbon metals, for example, f(
will have steel. Silicon steel will be- h
come an .. il1eal structural steel, with B
more than double its present strength, e:
and very much cheaper because of 'P ,
the unlimited supply of sand as com- S'
pared with iron ore." n
Sir Arthur Eddington's theory of a d
"running down universe" is treat-ad d"
satirically by Russell, who counters b
with the assertion: "All things are P
growing things, whether stars or ap- Ii ,
pIes, and all growing things tallow
the same law," tc
"I beJ!eve. there!ore," he says, "th3.t
all motton iI!I the result of setting up
an endless .series of high and low
pressure conditions which are inter-
changing in their constant and use-
less - attempts to equalize. ThIs can
never be accompliShed &0 long as the
One Force & Hving, pulsating
orce."

When scientists fall ou , who can be umpire?
542 FIFTH AYE
Answer -- the artist, for seeing is believing.
CHEW YORK CITY
Sir Jeans, distinguished scientist from Engla.nd. is going about
the United States announcing his belief that the univerllJe is rushing
long to like a prodigal son on a down-hill path with never
a chance of a comeback.
Will ter 11 ussell, fruno'lls a<l anAmer lcan artie t and sculptor, n ; t only
meets t.his Iessimistic theory with arguments dO 10giC's.1 that
have been to stop and listen, but ha .. painted a series of lJi;;tt r ..
to illustrate his contentions. Eight of these paintings are now hanging
in the 'useum of ucience and Industry of new York fOl' all the world --
and the scientists -- to see.
The universe. Mr. Russell says. is doing nicely. swinging alone under
a fifty-fifty rule of'. give-and-take, and not -- as "i,. ,Tames dpdlares --
being constantly annihilated in the depths of inter-stellar sj:ace, which
proces." one of these days. 'would exhaust the source of life. Until now,
James has had the floor, but si'!ce Yay 25th lalter Rusdell's ;Jlcture8
hav been on view in the a,nd accllrding to his explanation of tneir
vivid beauty, they suggest that uir James may be wrong.
The pictures sho that for every expenditure of the energy
there a and curreeponding re-birth, and that there
therefore no danger of the runnir. down of the cosmic clock. Scientistu
have looked at these pictured, and are wmdering. Many of them. in fact,
are study:ing the paintings with a view to fi ,d ing out just !-tOVI fa.r their
vlciualioed concepts can he furt_er tested in the laboratory.

It is a new idea. Until now, the invisible universe ha.; remained
invisible, even to the s who have measured and re-measured it
-- but who do not appear to have arrived at any satisfactory conclusion
about its fundall'enta.la. lor have the physiciits, to date, been able to
break down any of the laws of the Rus.,ell concept of the universal ma-
chinery. They see them. but are dtill un'l'illing to believe.
A well-known ph1 sicist, on t e staff of a university renowned for
scientific ir.tegrity, said -- after many talks witn the artist -- "I
can see your !:Joint, r. But after a lifetime of training aJ.ong
other lines. I find it difficult to go on seeing it:
To W"1 ich the arti st replied cheerfully -- "7ha t, professor, is exac'ly
why I had to paint these tures. so that you could go on seeing them
until YOll accent my theory of the one force of the universe."
As a matte" of fact, it. wad at the sugge.;tion of a scientist that the
pictures were l'ainted. Twelve years ago, ,.alter Russell had reached the
top of the artistic ladder in He had not even begun to think
about how unive1"se works . vixty a year was average
earning capacity. for this man's genius is not the kind that starves in
garrets. He is one of the first five Ameri sulptors and portrait-
painters, and has beEn for some time the president of the Jociety of Arts
and Sciences. He has been acknowledged as the fat her of the co-cp erative
apartment idea. for he was one of the first of the experimentalists in
that field to make the practical and This is tho
man who ten years ago suddenly became convinced that he, through the inner,
awakened eye of the nad seen the universe nd it is, in
terms of color, and who, as a result of his vision, threw his career to
the V' i nds and started in to describe what he had seen. He turned, for
the first time, to the study of science. which alone could provide him
with the neces.,ary vo cabulary.

Walter Russell :s
History repeats itself. The first expression of a nev idea invariably
on stony ground -- but if a seed of truth be there, it will find
an earth-filled cranny and begin to sprout. Walter Russell spent a for-
tune in the printing of a book which told of his inspired convictions in
Vlord;;, and in diagrams and charts which are at once so sublimely cle ar
and yet 60 complicated that hardly anybOdy can understand them. Mr.
sent copies of thi s book to men prominent in many lines of en-
deavor. but at that time science believed the atom to be indestructible.
and the Russell concept i s not in agreement with tnat theory.
The books were tossed aside. But the ortist held to his beliefs.
and early in 1931 we find him in the study of an eminent few York
physicist. discussing the winding and unwinding of the universe. Paper
and pencil were called irto action that the artist might prov e to the
professor thnt the machinery is not running down. but is functioning
two ways -- tearing down and building up at the same time through polari-
sation. which is the meeting of two opposed forces under the attr ction
of gravitation and the repulsion of radiation for the purJose of repro-
duction. And at last :-- "If only." said Walter Russell passionately. "I
could show it tv you as I see it. in colors!"
"Vlell." said the professor. "you're an artist. aren't yw? ',;hy not
paint it?"
So it happened th, t in an incredibly short space of time 11alter
Russell was back in the study. probably the happiest man in America.
'Ii th him came a canvas. which he said was the first of a series illus-
trating in all the colors of the spectrum his ideas of how the universe
works . The scientist saw. and was enthusiastic. He suggested that the
picture be eXhibited, and later he wrote Mr . Russell a letter which ran
in part as follows:

"If through Rinting you can express your ideas, which you explained
to me briefly in words, I am inclined to think that you have f ound the
basis of a new art, an art which is best fitted to interpret inanimate
nature, rather than animate nature. I believe that anyone capable of
your paintings will have a much clearer conception of
universal :aves than he would through any text-book descriptlon. I
sincerely hope that you wi1 find it possible to complete the series of
sixty or.more pair-tings which you have in mind. I wish you every succes"."
The eight pictures now hanglnB in the Museum demonstrate the principle
that there is only one force in t he universe, seemingly divided into two,
ever striving for equili brium in the never-ceasing process of creation.
Everything in the universe contains both phases of this force negative
and .os itive, radiative and gravitative, feminine and masculine, expanling
and contracting. The seven colors of the spectrum, being 60 divided, show
all processes of expansion on the blue half, and all contraction on the
red he.lf, with yellow being the high-pressure balancir.g point at the
centre.
If lalter Russell-is right, science will have to look to her laurels
and art will score a triumph. He is the younger son of a car ;:>enter in
a 1i ttle assachusetts town, and has risen fro:r.J. the position of carpen-
ter ' s assistanT to that of a great artist simply by the power of his
own creative ability. He hes ea.rned his way froll! the bottom up -- the
sale assistance he ever received being a ten dolia bi.!.l from a kindly
uncle when he was determi ned to work his way through art-school. ter
Russell stands on one side of the startling picture of "s .tence at tne
cross-roads." On the other stands the noble co, npany of Jeans, Eddington,
lUlli.l.<an, and the older scientists, Newton, Ke'ler, find tne rest of
those great trail-breakers who paved the way for radios and airplanes,

born to a generation so accustomed to miracles that It does not even
see them when they come.
Whatever gr0ws out of it all, one thing is clear. Never bet' ore in
history has art in its purest inspirational form joined hands with
science to help humanity understand the structure of the world, of
and 0 f tile uni verse.
Here is a new thing under theS un, the invisible made visible in
terms of beauty. Only an artist co ld have accomplished it, and only
an artist could have held to his dream through years of discouragement
until the commg of his opportunity. A contemporary poet has said that
every scientist has in him something of the s1)irit <) f the artist, and
every true artist is fundamentall y a scientist. If 7ialter Russell has
aChieved nothing more th'1.n a visible proof of this hypothesis, his ac-
complishment has been worth 'r/hile . .'l.nd it is possible that he has
proved, ad we.tl, that by understanding the universe as it really is,
manity may all ideaa of cllaos, and begin to function under "he
law of har,llonious order, wh ich alone makes for ''leal th, ha)pine!:ls and the
development of a gre!l.ter civil12;ation. If the theories of this artist-
scientist are proved workable, they '.IJuld seem to hold the promise of an
..
immense step forward not only in physics, 'but ill chemi!:ltry, metallurgy,
and all inds.try.
