...Relativity deals with time, space, gravity, the finite speed of light; quantum mechanics with particles, electricity, the action of light. The two are not only separate but in some cases conflict. Relativity dispenses with the idea of absolute time; quantum mechanics retains it. Although it is a tremendously powerful approach to atomic behavior, quantum mechanics is shot through with uncertainty. It has given birth to the Uncertainty Principle of Heisenberg, which states that the position and velocity of an electron cannot be simultaneously ascertained. In the Schrödinger wave mechanics, the little symbol ψ is important. It stands, roughly...
...approach from the relativistic starting point, on the other hand, has already made progress (TIME, July 15, et seq.). But so far only one particle at a time can be dealt with. Perhaps an intuitive genius of the future will find a new basis for unification- a basis now lying in the abysm of the Unknown...
...announced, this is to be the famous maestro's final season in America, and consequently it will be the last opportunity Bostonians will have to hear him. The programs are likely to be exceedingly popular, for they contain the great masterpieces of symphonic literature, which, with Toscanini's incomparable approach, will be anything but hackneyed. That of Monday evening consists of Weber's Overture to "Der Freischutz," Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, Brahms' Variations on a Theme by Haydn, Smetana's symphonic poem "Vitava," and Wagner's Overture to "The Flying Dutchman." The Tuesday program includes Brahms' Fourth Symphony and Strauss...
Myra Hess, the renowned English planist, is to give her annual Boston concert in Jordan Hall on Sunday afternoon. Her interpretation of music is absolutely unique, and through a simple and unaffected approach to every piece in her repertoire, she succeeds in creating a musical atmosphere in which humility is superbly blended with a complete understanding. Many a pianist surpasses her in sheer ability and virtuosity, but few can hope to give such complete satisfaction to their audiences...
...deeds. But first we eat!" All day long did ride Rozinante. All day long without a deed--until: "Goest thou my way, Noble Knight?" "Thy way, fair damsel, is my way. Whither?" "Thence, oh no, not to Emerson, surely not. This before us be a castle. So approaching little by little to the drawbridge I to check Rozinante; and did rest awhile to see whether or no any dwarf on the battlements gives warning that we three did approach; but seeing the dwarfs stayed so long and that Rozinante's feet were soaking in the slush anyhow, we three...
