The Hidden Secret in

Einstein's Theory

Preface

The question has been asked the writer again and again, "What induced you to take up this work of investigation into the origin of cell-life?"

Were you always interested in tracing out the beginning of things, or did something occur in your life that influenced you to take up such an unusual line of work; a line of work so external to the position of the woman as a wife and a mother?

The answer to this inquiry can only be found in the "quickening" of intelligent "life," after a period of thirty-five years, during which time the woman was in no manner whatever attracted towards the investigation of life and its significance.

To become personal, — I may say I was associated with my late husband in his political career and for some years my time was too much occupied with the affairs of that time to admit of any other thought. The quickening of the mind, at a definite time of life may be traced to a resurrection of some part of the physical organisation, that had been supporting a field of latent energy, which could not come into spiritual expression before a certain age of the life-form — thus "time" as a fourth dimensional control of light took on its active condition and forced the woman out of her pathway, into a new domain of thought.

Perhaps conditions might be viewed from a standpoint of the influence of names on the life of a child. There has been considerable investigation by scientific men along this line, and the fact proven, that certain names were generally borne by men of good character and right thinking.

The name of my father — Speight — is said to signify, "a bird swift of wing," and to substantiate the claim of name-influence, I must say my father was very much interested in bird-life. He had collected some very fine specimens, and presented to me the finest case he possessed, a few years after my marriage.

This case of birds was the means of my taking up the work of preparing charts for the furtherance of Nature Study in the schools of Canada. A number of political friends of my husband (ministers of the Government) called to see Mr. Humberston during an attack of Grippe, and seeing this case of birds questioned me concerning their habits and use in the scheme of life. Whoever coined my father's name, was acquainted with the astrological system of Ancient Egypt, because the Khu, represented by a crested bird, signified the greatest speed of light through space. That is the space areas of a solid in its most perfect chemical development, was carried through space at a definite rate of speed in the form of a bird.

We have also the ancients using the action of the bird enclosed in a given space, flapping its wings, and through this action, assisting all other creatures to move and live and have their being, through definite space areas expressing dimensions of light as a form of gravitational energy.

Einstein's theory of Relativity is founded on this law of weight as a condition of light — light possessing both weight and mass. When the work of preparation of the various charts had been finished, an uncontrollable desire to find the significance of life, entered into the heart of the worker and after a few month's search through the works of Darwin, Spencer, Weismann, Dawson, Hugo De Vries, Lodge, Ramsay, Rutherford and various authorities on bacteriology, the clue was obtained to the direction in which the search must be conducted in order to find an explanation of the origin of cell-life.

Certain discoveries of the fixation of numbers and their multiples characterising every reaction undertaken by the scientific investigator under direct experimentation, caused the writer to seek out the Professors at the University, and lay before each, the import of those numbers. The result of this attempt to interest the scientist engaged in isolated investigation of nature's phenomena was startling in the extreme. The physicist did not know anything about chemistry, or bacteriology, or biology, or geology, or palaeontology, nor zoology. Why did the woman bother herself with such work? From the physicist she was directed to the Bacteriologist. The significance of numbers in bacterial growth, was, "ah" rather perplexing, but nothing very peculiar, as all things were numbered. Know any thing about the earth's testimony relating to life and numbers? Such an unwarranted question. The professor of bacteriology was not supposed to know anything, outside of his special line of research. He was, in fact, wounded in his innate sensibility, that he should even be suspected of being interested in anything a woman could find interest in.

To the chemist, she was next directed. This gentleman was the late Dr. Ellis. He was very much impressed with the statements made respecting the testimony of the earth's depositions, and its life, to a fixed grouping of units, which were found in every division of science.

He offered to assist further research by the woman in any way he could, but he was a chemist — and confined to that branch of investigation. What could he do in any other field — He was helpless, as every other professor outside of his specialty.

Professor Ellis declared this, "If what you deduce from your discoveries are true, and your points are well put and sustained, the first with us should be the last and the last should be the first." He offered to assist in any manner possible, through chemistry, but outside of that domain he was helpless. Some weeks afterwards, a paper on the chemical combinations, was sent to him, and the woman called a few days afterwards, in order to ascertain if there was anything worthwhile, in those papers. As she entered the Dr's. office, she was met with a cordial handshake. At once the question was asked "Oh Doctor is there any use of further search in the work I have undertaken?. Was my paper nonsense to you? Pointing to bis desk, he said "There is your answer" and on the desk lay the paper which had been sent to him. He said "Whenever I have a few minutes to spare I am at work on your paper. If you can devote your time to this work, I think you will make something out of it that will be of great benefit to science. But I must warn you, it will be a very arduous task for a woman. Even among men, there is little sympathy in success. You will have to walk alone in the way you have chosen.

If you can do this, I do not fear a failure for you. . You have my best wishes for success, and still greater my sympathy for the trials that lie before you."

These words of Professor Ellis, were more to me than any "gentlemanly" treatment accorded me by those interested in research work. The reception of incredulity, ' I have met with at the hands of a few, had little effect, because I knew just how confined were the limits of their knowledge .

Their ears were dull of hearing, and their eyes dim of sight. They were walking as a man that staggers, — that staggers and has not yet drunk of the wine.

If the same conditions as exist in the world of scientific research, existed in the world of commerce and manufacture, each manufacturer would be making but one part of amachine and there would be found no man who could assemble the parts, and give to the world a whole machine.

What is to be the outcome of all this? The result is that Einstein, or any specialist, can prove his point from his own position, and one outside of that domain is in no position to recognize the nature of the "truth" he is claiming to demonstrate, whether this truth is the whole truth or only a part of the whole.

Today, is the day of the battle of intellects, for control of the world for the next two or three centuries. It is the "war in heaven," come down to the earth.

Who will win?

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I should be wanting in gratitude if I failed to acknowledge the debt I owe to Dr. John Macdonald and Dr. H. B. Anderson, lecturers in Toronto University, for the assistance accorded me at the beginning of my search for the significance of life, as a chemical process of nature.

Dr. Macdonald gave me some of the finest literature he possessed relating to bacterial growths. I was, thus directed to the study of cell-life, where the cell material is purely nuclear matter.

Dr. Anderson gave me free access to his laboratory, and provided me with all the material necessary for the cultivation of different bacterial growths, whose peculiar configurations in squares, cubits, circles and triangles, seen under the microscope, prove the mathematical control of space areas in the production of form itself. To begin a search rightly, is half the battle, and so I regard these gentlemen as specially deserving of my deepest gratitude and appreciation.
