"This is what we mean when we say your sciences need revising, coordinating and intelligently expressed, while at present they contradict themselves through their own complications."
"As for your astronomers who teach of the heavenly bodies, they need better, finer instruments to get correct answers to their findings. For at times there are what we call interference between the Earth planet and Mars or any other planet, of a gaseous formation which is so fine that it cannot be detected by any instrument you have at present, yet will give you distorted readings or distorted knowledge of your findings, and especially in your distance calculations and your color definitions, be it through the sight or be it through the spectrum. There is much to be altered in these findings before the absolute truth is known by your people on Earth."
Here Dr. Johnston interrupted saying, "but we have done well with what we have to work."
The acknowledgment came and the Martonian speaker said, "yes, but you also became egotistical over your findings, which are half truths, thinking you got it all. To have a complete success the law of relativity must be the foundation upon which any society or any truth be founded. And this is where the coordinating comes in of all branches of endeavor. No findings, it matters not how great, should be exalted over any other which might be much lesser, for it is one helping the other, and through a relative understanding a unit is realized. This is where the men of science on Earth are lacking."
"Again I repeat, you have done very well with what you have, but you could do much better if you depended a little more on your feelings, as we do, at least as much as you do on your mechanical devices. In that way you would be able to detect errors much quicker. It would also lessen the time on research which now you spend going into years in computation, looking for error. To be a full fledged scientist one must acknowledge all phases of manifestations, be they labeled spiritual or material, so long as they are natural. Therefore natural laws must be studied and understood before one can become a good scientist, because natural laws are causes of effects since natural laws are stable. And this means all the phases that can be realized by men, which includes all forms of science. For when one form of science operates independent of another and does not exchange its information with all others, many errors are made. We have found by working together as one, our findings are almost absolute, for when any one branch of science discovers something or comes upon a problem, he consults all other branches to solve it, while scientists on the Earth, astronomers as they are named, seldom consult other branches which are considered lower than theirs. Do not forget that this vastness is one system and takes in all branches of science."
"For example the sciences that study the variation of light and its manner of behaviorism is different from the sciences that study light from the stars through a spectrum. Yet both of these are dealing in light and should be consulting each other. For light in its variations does not always have the same behaviorism. It will vary a billion times in one hour at times, for it penetrates various layers, as you could call it, of atmospheric density from its source to its effects. And these densities vary from moment to moment. Also to be taken into consideration are the dust particles which give different effects by their anglings from moment to moment to the light that passes through them. So it is impossible to get definite readings of an absolute nature unless better mechanical devices capable of detecting the variations are used. We on Mars have such devices and yet they are not absolute. We have found through our instruments that the light under normal circumstances, when examined by the type of instruments that you have on Earth would show us that there is iron represented in this light. Yet it may not be iron at all. It can be any other mineral but iron, but a mass of dust particles angling at the moment, and sometimes remaining so for long periods of time depending upon the movement of atmosphere, would reflect the presence of iron, since each dust particle carries iron in a minute form, as well as all other minerals. When a magnetic pull is in a certain direction, and it does vary in its orbit, it will cause the sides of all particles to face the magnetic attraction, and iron is attracted by magnetism. Therefore the whole side would reflect the representation of iron while at other times it would be reflecting something else. It is impossible to get a correct reading of a planet on its mineral contents unless a different instrument is used by Earth man than he is now using, since space, it might be said, is solid with particles, more in some spots than in others but they are everywhere and they will carry great influence upon the researcher or the observer. This is why planet Mars, or any other planet, never had a true reading of its status by the Earth man. To the present day fifty percent of science on Earth is theory. This accounts for the sudden changes, that do happen often, of denial of one by the admission of another. You call this advancement, but it is only an error of past by a slightly better of present."
"In other words we want to say that if Earth man is to progress to catch up partially, if not totally, with other planets, he will have to adopt this system."
"Another instance, your scientists have in their mind that to have a reflector which reflects the images of the heavenly bodies, as they call it, the reflector has to be of one piece. Yet we have a reflector here on Mars that is made of hundreds of pieces, so synchronized that they reflect as one towards the one central point. Yet the Earthly scientists would say 'look at the mirrors or reflectors we would have to make to make up the one of the many. It would take lots of time.'
"In the first place, time is eternal. In the second place, it is much easier and quicker to make many small ones than one big one, for you are limited in the size of the big one, unlimited in the many small ones. This is one example of your thinking scientists in the Earth planet. They seem to focus their minds in one channel and by doing so they limit themselves. Yet you have the finest group of men which Earth is to know at the present time which are scientists and they are striving for the greater good, too, of all its people. If unity, happiness, greatness of civilization is ever to come, it will come through these men. For it is through these types of men that other sister planets have so far advanced. The only thing needed is a unification or coordination where division and differences of various branches will become non-existent, and instead all working towards a common center in behalf of one another and in turn for the good of its people."
Now we are given a toast by all the scientists that are gathered here in this magnificent Temple of Science in our honor. The toast is:
