conclusions. But in this discipline he finds that man
is treated as an amalgam of the metabolism, the
respiratory system, the blood circulation and so on.
These systems are based on certain chemical
changes and, judging from their action and reaction,
it would appear that the different parts of the whole
bodily system are sub-functions of the metabolism.
After deep reflection, he comes to the conclusion
that since the existence of the human body and its
development are related to chemical actions and
reactions, the principles according to which
chemical changes take place should first of all be
properly understood, failing which no really satis-
factory information about man could ever be
discovered. So he engrosses himself in the study of
physics and chemistry and, indeed, devotes the
major part of his life to it. This branch of study leads
him on to an investigation of the molecule and the
atom, from which he proceeds to study the
electrons and protons of which the atom is
composed. The realization then comes to him that
the whole universe is nothing but electric waves,
and he becomes immersed in the study of the latest
discoveries in nuclear science. He thus collects a
