Excerpt from "Evolution of Sound" Evolved: A Review of the Article Entitled "the Nature of Sound" In "the Problem of Human Life"
In the summer of 1881, being then quite a young man, I saw in a newspaper a review of The Problem of Human Life. It was quite eulogistic, and declared that the wave theory of sound had been completely overthrown. If this were true, I thought it an inter esting fact, and immediately secured a copy of the book. I had learned from the review something of the drift of its teaching on the nature of sound, and was predisposed to accept its revolutionary views.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a review of the author's objections to the wave theory of sound, arguing that it has been disproven from both logical and empirical standpoints. The author contends that the wave theory of soundâ"which posits that sound is a wave that travels through a medium, such as air or waterâ"is based on a flawed understanding of the nature of sound. Instead, the author proposes a "substantial theory" of sound, which views sound as a substance or material that is transmitted through the air. The author supports this theory through a detailed analysis of the history of sound theory and related scientific principles, offering a sustained critique of the wave theory. The book concludes by arguing that the substantial theory of sound is more consistent with the latest scientific research and offers a more comprehensive understanding of the nature of sound.
