Of these conceptions the most useful appears to the writer to identify 
magnetic flux with etherial flow, and electric charge with a twist, as is 
usual. 
Having identified the quantum constant, h, with the product of a 
certain quantity of magnetic flux by electric quantity which when 
multipled by a frequency gives energy, one is tempted to go farther and 
identify h, with the total minimum quantity of magnetic flux x electric 
quantity in a wave front. This quantity is the same in every wave, 
whatever its period, which is set up by one electron. If this quantity 
is multiplied by the number of such waves per second, we have energy, 
that is the amount of magnetic flux times electric quantity per second 
radiated by that electron. 
Energy is radiated in quanta since no energy is radiated until an 
amount of magnetic flux and electric quantity equal to that contained 
in a wave front due to one electron is reached. This quantity of 
strain must be accumulated before radiation can occur. A wave or 
pulse is then set travelling through the ether. It is as if a slip occurred 
when this quantity accumulated. Since the wave front contains mass, 
(L’), or magnetic flux multiplied by time, the waves will exert pres- 
sure, and will be attracted gravitationally. 
The relations of the numerical value of h, to other constants of nature 
will be considered in a following paper. 
Since energy radiated is hn, depending only on frequency, it would 
seem to follow that the amplitude of every wave from a single electron 
must be the same at its origin. An electron accelerated by the ab- 
sorption of energy cannot change its amplitude of radiation. All that 
happens by the acceleration is an increase in frequency, a shifting in 
other words toward the shorter waves. It is an interesting question 
what this fundamental amplitude is. An increase in amplitude could 
then only be brought about by the fusion of waves; by an increase in 
the number of oscillators, in other words. 
For convenience table 1 gives the dimensions of all entities in those 
of space and time. 
VI. THE DIMENSIONS OF ALL NATURAL PHYSICAL PHENOMENA IF TIME IS 
A FOURTH SPATIAL COORDINATE, Ly 
In the simple way just stated we have reduced the dimensions of all 
physical phenomena to those of space, (Ii, Le, Ls) and time, (T). 
If now, time be considered a 4th spatial coordinate and equated with 
L, being written Ls, and if we consider this four dimensional space to 
be isotropic, so that all four directions are equivalent, as is done in
