His own work dealt with questions of Goetheanism and projective geometry (also as a basis for understanding the etheric), partly together with his colleague Olive Whicher, who met him in 1935.<ref>{{Cite book| publisher = Verlag am Goetheanum| isbn = 3-7235-0472-8| pages = 21| last = Olive Whicher| title = Sonnen-Raum; Ein Übungsweg zum Verständnis des Lebendigen| chapter = I. ein individueller Weg| location = Dornach| date = 1989|lang=de}} English: {{Cite book| publisher = Rudolf Steiner Press| isbn = 978-0-85440-726-2| last = Whicher| first = Olive| title = Sun space: science at a threshold of spiritual understanding| date = 1989}}</ref> Elisabeth Vreede supported his mathematical approaches.

In 1932, Adams was elected a member of the London Mathematical Society.<ref name=":0" /> In 1935, Wegman and Vreeda were expelled from the Anthroposophical Society, and others, including Adams, were also forced to leave the Society.[7] At the end of the 1940s, he rejoined it of his own volition.[8]

In 1939, he volunteered for military service in London and was initially deployed as an interpreter in a prison camp, but was released after six months. After his German connections were critically examined, he called himself George Adams from 1940. Until the end of the war, he continued to serve as an interceptor for BBC monitoring and in air-raid protection.

In 1947, he searched for the projective counterpart to the (visually) infinitely distant plane of Euclidean space, the infinitely inner center of polar Euclidean space (Locher's "absolute center") in the plant world. Adams had the idea that there could not only be one such point, but that such a point must be located at the germination point of every bud. This idea was further elaborated together with Whicher, taking into account the lemniscate-like interaction of space and counterspace. Two books were published in English in 1949 and 1952 and an expanded version in German in 1960 under the title "Die Pflanze in Raum und Gegenraum"[9].

In 1947, at the instigation of his friends Geuter and Michael Wilson, Adams moved to the English Midlands.[10] Wilson and Adams founded the Goethean Science Foundation to initiate scientific research.

In 1961, he was involved in the establishment of the Institute of Fluid Mechanics in Herrischried in the Black Forest,[11] where he was associated with Alexander Leroi, Theodor Schwenk, Hanns Voith and John Wilkes.

He died in 1963 at the home of a family friend of Lothar Marx in the Edgbaston district of Birmingham, almost four years after suffering a heart attack (1959).[11]
