Here, in the fleeting moment, you are left to improvise, to come to terms with your raw, true self.

We have now got what seems to be definite proof that an X ray which spreads out in a spherical form from a source as a wave through the aether can when it meets an atom collect up all its energy from all round and concentrate it on the atom. It is as if when a circular wave on water met an obstacle, the wave were all suddenly to travel round the circle and disappear all round and concentrate its energy on attacking the obstacle.

But there is no reason why we shouldn't, any more than we should forsake instant coffee and air travel because they weren't available to the Romans.
