The microscope-centrifuge and some of its applications

The mutual annihilation of positive and negative electricity with an accompanying radiation of the equivalent electromagnetic energy has been invoked to account for stellar heat. Electrodynamics, without further generalization, has no way of admitting such annihilation accompanied by radiation. The generalizations necessary to provide logical meaning to the process are developed and discussed.In particular, it becomes necessary to extend the law of motion of electricity applicable to an electron as a whole, so as to apply also to that which remains of the electron when part of it is destroyed.
