Excerpt from Discoveries: Of Misconceptions Regarding the Properties of Matter Within the Science of Chemistry, Addressed to the Council of the Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, Cal, , March 1, 1898 I have also sent a paper, with explanations, to the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England. I make these admissions to you to let you know that I, as a student of the same science, am urged onward by the courage of my convictions, and firmly believe that I hold the key to a solution of many mysteries that are at the present day agitating the entire field of science, and this, simply on account of errors that exist in this great sub-stratum of all the other super-structural sciences. As the proper handling of the methods of proof involve an almost limitless field of minor or relative discoveries, it will be impossible for me to present to you in the paper anything more than a most restricted outline of a few of the errors to which I have called your attention. I wish to add further that these discoveries, after a most rigid application of test by myself, during three years, affect every other branch science now recognized by the civilized world, and throw a flood of light or understanding upon nearly all that has heretofore been regarded within those fields as unfathomable mysteries. This may seem to you a broad assertion, but I am not willing to withdraw it until such time as I may be convinced by others to be myself in error of perception, a circumstance, I can consistently prognosticate, that will never transpire. A recognition of this fundamental truth now brought to your notice, and hitherto unrecognized in all ages of the world, whether it be applied as blind experimental theory or assumed at the beginning as truth, throws the light of understanding into every nook and corner of the science of Astronomy, and reduces its unproductive theories ninety-nine per cent.
