Originating from the Rede Lecture delivered at the University of
Cambridge in November 1930, this book is based upon the conviction
that the teachings and findings of astronomy and physical science
are destined to produce an immense change on our outlook on the
universe as a whole, and on views about the significance of human
life. The author contends that the questions at issue are
ultimately one for philosophical discussion, but that before
philosophers can speak, science should present ascertained facts
and provisional hypotheses. The book is therefore written with
these thoughts in mind while broadly presenting the fundamental
physical ideas and findings relevant for a wider philosophical
inquiry.
