The idea: that in a certain very special circumstance the space-curvature around a star would act like an optical lens on the light from an-other star.

Last week Washington's alert Science Service, browsing among the patent files, discovered that in his long search for a Unified Field Theory the great mathematician had not forgotten the uses of photoelectric cells.
