England could have been tendered immune from her devastating bombardment had the world been reccptive to these new scientific discoveries which I endearored to give to it when World War II $arted. Science. however. did make use of the two atom bomb elements mentioned above. which I charted and copyrighted in 1926. The world needs new metals. Many new rustless metals of greater density. malleability and conductivity await division in vast quantities from carbon and silicon. fll ese nill he.toun l t hen science cli.;cards its concept of matteru[ beingsubstance. utnl ht'tttmt'.; avare o| the gyroscopic controlof motion $hich \f ill rllit th( a erhon tone into isotopes as a musical tone is split into thorlt.r otrd llat.r. ln thc chcnical elements. the sharps and flats are isolopes.

By means of such knowledge, science could rid the carth olfearofattack by any nation no matter how the attaok might come, whether by land, sea or atr. This new knowledge willgive toscience the cause of all lhe ellects which have for centuries ofresearch deceived the scnses oI scientific observers. Man has a Mind as well as having senses. but h€ has given preference to the evidence of his senses in the building ()[ his cosmogony. Man can reason with his senses but he e nnot know with them. Reasoning is sense-thinking - not Mind-knowing. Hehas also produced ellects without knowing Inclr cause. The senses have not revealed to man that this is a \tthslanceless uniwrse oJ motion onl)'. Neither have they told him the principle of polarity which divides the unive$al cquilibrium into pairs of oppositely-conditioned mates to r'rcl|te a sex-divided eleclric tuo-\ray universe The time has come in the history of man when knovl' tdgc alone can save the human ruce.

You might rcilson bly ask why I have withheld this Inowlt'tlgt fr:rso ntarry yc rs. I hitvc nrtl withheld it. I tried in vt|in to givc it lltntt l()2(r whell I lilst prrblishcd charts of the & ÆTHERFORCE complete periodic tables herewith attached. up to the begin- ning of World War ll when I tried to organize a laborator) group to save England from its unnecessar] bombardment- I also accepled and held the Presidency of The Societ.,- of Arts arul Sciencesin New York for seven years forthe sole purpose of giving to the world this new cosmogony based upon a twcway continuous, balanced universe to replace the one-way discontinuous, unbalanced universe which is pre- sumably expanding to a heat death. During this period. I lectured upon the misconceived idea that hydrogen is the basic number one atom of the periodic table. I explained that there are twenty-one other elemcnts which precede it and that hydrogen itself is not a single clemen( but a whole complex octave. I also explained thc impossibility of there being any element without an inert g.rs as its source. At that time I distributed my periodic charts to approximately li00 scientists and universities. Further than inciting research which yielded so-called isotopes of hydrogen and heavy water, nothing came of my effort. nordid I receive thecreditdue me. lncidentally, those so-called isotopes are not isotopes but full-toned elementsof an orde y octave group series. Isotopes do not occur in Nature until they reach the octave following tlle silicon (rtave. The reasons for this are fully explained in our Study Course. I wrote two books. gave many lectures and set up a demonstration laboratory in a university to prove that the elements are not different substances but are differently- conditioned pressures of motion - and that the structure of the atom is based upon the gyroscopic principle. As one after another of my discoveries appeared under othernames.I acted on the advice of a friendly science editor to withhold any more of my new cosmogony until it was fully completed in words and diagrams. and again copyrighted. xv It has taken many yea$ to so complete it that it is invulnerable to attack. but this has now been done, and this present treatise isascomplete in briefas the whole cosmogony is complete in detail. I do not look for immediate acceptanoe o[ this revolu- tionary new knowledge. I do hope and expect, however, that the seed of it will grow within the consciousness ot science, and as I am nearing 82 years of age I feel it incumbent to announce the fact to science through this open letter and rrcatise that The Russell Cosmogony, which my gifted wife, L o, and I have togetherwritten into a year's Study Course of 9.15 uncontradictable pages, and 182 diagmms, is now com plcte. Thiscourse is now being studied all over the world and, tlrrough our stud€nts as seed, this new knowledge will ultinrately transform the world. It is with the deep desire that a higher civilization shall rrrisc that I send forth this message to mankind- The day is hcrc when Science and Religion must marry, or [hrough igrorance of God s Unive$al Laws man will perish lrom the c rlh- Hoping that the worldofscience willrecognize that this tr'(. tisc has within it the answer to basic cause for which it has hcen so krng and lirelessly searching.

Among his papers notes were f()und that indicated the editing he contem- plrred if c\cr new type had Io be sel for lirrur c cditions of this book. As can be readily seen. his purpose was 1() clarifY and not to change his concepls. It is with profound humility and grati- tude that we submit this new edition as a memorialto the selfless and devoted senlce rendered to the world by Dr. Russell. who was the instrument ior this message to man_ kind.
