“This imagined beyond, which the scientist has proved he cannot penetrate, will become the playground of the imagination of eery mystic and dreamer. The existence of such a domain will be made the basis of an orgy of rationalizing. It will be made the substance of the soul; the spirits of the dead will populate it; God will lurk in its shadows; the principle of vital processes will have its seat here; and it will be the medium of telepathic communication.” — Percy Bridgman
