The theory of the cell revealed the unity of living processes; the study of the cell is beginning to reveal their physical foundations.
We have been forced to admit for the first time in history not only the possibility of the fact of the growth and decay of the elements of matter. With radium and with uranium we do not see anything but the decay. And yet, somewhere, somehow, it is almost certain that these elements must be continuously forming.
