Excerpt from The Genesis of Water
In bringing this paper before the public, the writer is not unmindful of the fact that the greeting which usually goes forth to the obtrusive theorist is seldom either friendly or reassuring. Practical achievement is the requirement of this age and its application has wonderfully amplified the field of correspondence between humanity and its environment. But notwithstanding its many conquests, the practical side of man, equally with the theoretical side, has failed to account for or to explain certain physical phenomena that have been continually on parade before the eyes of science ever since man became a thinking animal. Take as an example of the things that are known but unexplained: the Comet; the Aerolite; the Glaciation of the North Temperate Zone; Gravitation; Physical Life; Matter, - mysteries, all. Now, I did not begin to write with any thought, whatever, of invading the domain of any of these problems, but with only the one thought of accounting for the fact of the presence of water upon the earth - a constituent of our planet not accounted for by the nebular hypothesis.
