    “ From the point of view of the physicist, a theory of matter is a policy rather than a creed; its object is to connect or co-ordinate apparently diverse phenomena, and above all to suggest, stimu- late and direct experiment. It ought to furnish a compass which, if followed, will lead the observer further and further into pre- viously unexplored regions. Whether these regions will be barren or fertile experience alone will decide; but, at any rate, one who is guided in this way will travel onward in a definite direction, and will not wander aimlessly to and fro.” J. J. Thomson, “The Corpuscular Theory of Matter.”
