"The prediction of the time! You say what the philosopher's stone of our day.
This is empirical estimates, and limited in the immediate future, and then it leads us far beyond what is taught peasantry to our long experience of the local climate, or want to extend beyond tomorrow, and based upon a complete knowledge of the mechanism of air, and then unfortunately you have to admit that science does not exist, and still is hidden in the mists of 'future. It will therefore be appropriate that you would cease once the promise to the people in the name of science that science today can not give. "
