mation into the growing mind without allowing adequate
time for assimilation and consideration of the facts intro-
duced."
He sounded quite cross about it, but then one of his
chief interests is education, and he believes this is where
the future of mankind lies. Also he seems to have a pretty
poor view of our intelligence here on earth. He once said
to me that there were only ten people alive who really
knew how to think, and how to use the thought processes
that are available to those of normal intelligence.
Some time afterwards, when Lord Russell died, he then
said that there were now only nine thinkers left. He will
not tell me who they are-perhaps just as well.
Very diffidently, I asked him about space once. He
rubbed his fingers over his moustache and said: "In a
sense everything is in one place. And in another sense
space is endless. It is one of those apparent contradic-
tions."
He went on to add that once we understood the nature
of space, space travel would become much easier for us.
It sounds so difficult to fathom and I spend ages thinking
about it without being any wiser at the end. I can only
wait now to see what develops. I sometimes wish that a
tape recorder could pick up their voices in the same way
that I can. Then, instead of trying to write down the more
involved and complicated things that people like Einstein
say I could record them exactly and give them to people
who are wise to work out.
However, sometimes I do try to write down everything
he says by hand. This is a fairly laborious process, par-
ticularly when communication is not good, and with Ein-
stein I do find it is inclined to fade rather a lot.
He did, on one occasion in the summer of 1967, give
me an equation, which he explained was, in fact, 60 vari-

able equations in two groups of thirty each, one group
decreasing and one group increasing.
The actual equation was: S (Q) R = Infinity.
S = Sequence.
Q = Quantity.
R = Ratio.
What follows is from his dictation.
"S can be taken to represent the passage of time
(history); Q to represent the manifestation of the Life-
force (creation); R to represent the variable factors (con-
ditioning of creation).
"S is passing through Q; that is to say, time is passing
through creation subject to fluctuations of the energy
quotient which operates in rhythmic frequencies as a great
pulse animating life throughout the entire universe.
"The invidious question of the resultant domination
over the course of evolution by a primordial originating
impulse can only be discussed in full when all the
secondary factors are taken into consideration. No facet
of Nature can be separated from the primal impulse
which set in motion endless chain reactions. These re-
actions may at times be controlled or interrupted or even
halted; certain processes can be repeated, reversed or
occasionally revoked. These are matters requiring pro-
found thought and thorough research."
At this point the contact with Einstein faded, and Sir
Donald Tovey took over the dictation, on the same lines
of reasoning, and I think it worth repeating what he said
here for other and wiser minds than mine to puzzle over.
"There are not, as it would appear, two creative aspects,
viz., male and female, but one only, the creative energy-
force which divides and sub-divides to produce numerous
forms and formations of matter. Any manifestation in
form or sound is an eruption of the energy-force from its
