90 Can Science Explain Life? 



moving either inwardly, outwardly, or in opposite 

 directions. Since each of these forms is intrin- 

 sically different from any of the others, it appears 

 that we have ample material here with which to 

 account for the two kinds of electricity. 



If double vortex rings exist, then it appears 

 that single vortex rings cannot exist permanently 

 for any length of time. In order to form a stable 

 system, the two halves of a double vortex ring 

 would have to attract each other and resist sepa- 

 ration; and if the individual vortex rings do 

 attract one another they would immediately com- 

 bine to form double rings and could not exist 

 singly for any length of time. It further appears 

 that double rings with their adjacent sides moving 

 in opposite directions could not exist because the 

 abrupt transition from movement in one direction 

 to movement in the opposite direction would cause 

 repulsion between them. The only remaining 

 possibilities are therefore double rings with their 

 adjacent sides moving either outwardly or in- 

 wardly, and these may constitute protons and 

 electrons, respectively. If their adjacent sides 

 move inwardly, then the inward flux would take 

 place along the entire equatorial plane and the 

 outward flux only at the poles; whereas if the 

 adjacent sides move outwardly, then the reverse 

 conditions would exist. This may be the reason
