...Lasker, a student of mental matters, assured them that Mr. Khaldah's feats ranged from those familiar in telepathy to others for which there were only two or three precedents. Another "seance" was arranged at the home of Dr. Albert Abraham Michelson, the physicist whose work helped Einstein to his classic theory...
...second role, one which scientists are beginning to recognize, is the fundamental part Mathematics is playing and is going to play in the development of the physical sciences. The spectacular achievements of Einstein, Bohr, and Milkman bring this fact forcible to light. These men admit that the former and more simple laws of physics, in relation to the conservation of energy and mass, are inadequate...
...convertability of matter and light, the corpuscular theory of radiant energy, etc. Next I showed that while there is always 'something new under the sun' yet our new truths only amplify older ones and many of the older truths remain eternal-for example, Newton is included by Einstein, and Christ's teachings are still unsurpassed. And finally, I showed that the further science pushes its horizons, the humbler scientists become, their thought having undergone a long evolution similar to the growth of religious thought from tribal superstition, through literal anthropomorphism, to transcendent spirituality. . . .
