Abstract EDITOR'S NOTE: As Professor Morgan pointed out at the last Genetics Congress, genetic advances will probably come from discoveries off the beaten path, and from the formulation of fruitful hypotheses as to how the world of the gene is put together. The main function of the JOURNAL is to assemble the building blocks of fact discovered by experiment and observation regarding genetic phenomena, leaving pure speculation to others. The publication of Professor Reiser’s most interesting synthesis of cosmology and genetics does not signal an abandonment of this policyonly a holiday to take a brief philosophical tour of the universe! If, as Professor Reiser suggests, geneticists must turn to a study of the Kennelly-Heaviside layer, just after taking on X-ray physics and biological chemistry, it is a striking demonstration of how rapidly the science of heredity has developed in the last third of a century. Problems of resonance are beginning to be increasingly discussed in their bearing on the structure of matter. his brings us around to the point where students of atomic structure and structure-the infinitely small and the indefinitely large-meet on common ground. The gene seems to be located at this cosmic cross-roads. It should be remembered, however, that mutation is not evolution, only an important tool and that conscious evolution involves a profound wisdom in its accomplishment-a wisdom which man does not always display in ordering his present affairs. Whether “radio-mutation” could build up his mind fast enough for him to keep ahead of the evolutionary parade would seem to be a serious question.
