...Munich, where his father was part-owner of an electrotechnical plant. When Albert was 15, family reverses took the Einsteins to Milan. There he left school to study art, then to Zurich to learn how to become a breadwinning engineer. In 1902 he got a job in the Bern Patent Office as engineer and technical adviser. Three years later, when he was 26, he published his cosmos-shaking Special Theory of Relativity in the Annals of Physics. His General Theory of Relativity was published in the midst of the War (1916), the Unitary Field Theory 13 years later. Though only...
With Secretary of War Bern ashore to observe and report on Rhode Island textile troubles (see p. 22), the President declared a week-end holiday from official business.

By 1925 subatomic theory had reached such a stage that electrons (which Maxwell did not know existed) had to be considered as waves as well as corpuscles-hence as abstractions. Reduced to its simplest terms, Professor Bern's latest work elevates them to the status of physical entities. By introducing a symbol to represent the electron's radius, by investing the electron with the four Einsteinian dimensions of time & space (which are handled symmetrically as four independent variables), Professor Born has made the old theory...
