...diplomatically declared that he wanted to imitate the great Faraday, thus making it unnecessary for him "to speculate about the real nature of that which we call a quantity of positive or negative electricity." Yet in fact he used most of his lecture to argue confidently for the atomic hypothesis 30. Walther... | |
