SCIENTIST EVOLVES NEW SPACE THEORY
News Article: New York World - July 21, 1930
Russell, In Book Out Today, Attacks Present Beliefs
Energy Forces Welded Together by Gravitation, He Says
Walter Russell, president of the Society of Arts and Sciences, believes he has evolved a new theory to explain the laws of space the heavenly bodies that move in it.
Let our scientists bend their energies to the understanding of this "simple" principle, according to Mr. Russell, and an ocean steam ship like the Leviathan could easily produce her own fuel from sea water "in a machine not larger than a newspaper printing press."
This new theory is expounded in Russell's new book, "The Russell Genero-Radiative Concept, or the Cyclic Theory of Continuous Motion," which is out today. It is an elaboration and expansion, he states in the preface of his book "The Universal One," published four years ago.
Criticizes 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 him with priority of discovery."
In his new book Mr. Russell suggests that a "major surgical operation upon the present beliefs" is the only salvation for present-day science.
The writer opens his attack upon these beliefs by challenged Newton's principle that the planets would fall 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" experiment in which a miniature model of the solar system is set up, with its poles similarly placed. When all these revolving planets and satellites are stopped they show no inclination to fall in to one another.
Even our notions of gravitation and radiation are incorrect, Russell further asserts. Solids are composed of electricity and owe their existence to the power of gravitation to keep electrical forces welded together into what we term solids. Gravitation he defines as being the "charging positive force which pulls inward from within, while radiation is the discharging negative force which pushes outward from within."
Between every two ... space, Russell maintains, ... ... center of gravitation around ... ... ... revolving orbits ... these ... held together by ... ... pole ... apart by another, these two poles deciding the potential relations and orbital motions of any two heavenly bodies.
"This hitherto undiscovered spatial control of mass," Russell goes on, "is the connecting link between mind and matter, the invisible and the visible universes. All solids are merely polarized extensions of the controlling polls in space and obey their will, just as man-made machines are extensions of men's minds and obey their will."
On this theory it follows, according to Russell, that moving bodies have no weight and that weight is a dimension of motion, just as temperature in all its changes rises from and settles back to its position of equilibrium at zero.
The Russell theory tries to disprove the generally held belief that like charges repel and opposite charges attract one another. In point of fact he would have us believe all masses are doubly charged, or, to put it differently, there is no such thing as a negative charge, for that is but another way of designating a discharge.
"Many new metals of great value to industry can be secured," he contends, "by understanding nature's simple but hitherto unknown principles. Carbon metals, for example, will have steel. Silicon steel will become an ideal structural steel, with more than double its present strength, and very much cheaper because of the unlimited supply of sand as compared with iron ore."
Sir Arthur Eddington's theory of a "running down universe" is treated satirically by Russell, who counters with the assertion: "All things are growing things, whether stars or apples, and all growing things follow the same law."
"I believe, therefore," he says, "that all motion is the result of setting up an endless series of high and low pressure conditions which are inter-changing in their constant and useless attempts to equalize. This can never be accomplished so long as the One Force is a living, pulsating force."
