Metaphysics, starting from one end of the path, must eventually meet science when it has advanced sufficiently far to test all its hypotheses by physical experience. Science, starting from the other end of the same path with physical research, must eventually meet and hand its problems over to metaphysics when it seeks to arrive at a large general view of all its accumulated data. The metaphysical Idea, must verify itself by the scientific Thing. The scientific Thing must understand itself to be the metaphysical Idea.
