It is, of course, almost impossible for a non-mathematical brain to be able to comprehend processes which are essentially mathematical. However, I cannot agree with the criticisms that the ancient philosophical form of this doctrine was no more than a guess.

By the exercise of these powers they arrived at a result which is different only in form, but not in essence, from the modern theory of Relativity.
