Abstract
It is not easy to sae, at first sight, how Prof. Bailey's suggestion assists the reconciliation of the notion of continual creation and of ordinary ideas of conservation, as these are concerned with empirical evidence of conservation in four dimensions, and not in five. However, the value of his idea becomes clearer owing to his reference to the electromagnetic significance of five-dimensional systems. If may therefore be appropriate to mention here that Dr. R. A. Lyttleton and I in a forthcoming paper in Proceedings of the Royal Society, have investigated the connexion between a possible electric phenomenon and continual creation.
