Long before he moved from Germany to the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, Albert Einstein wrote an equation based on Planck's little constant h to explain how and why light falling on a metal kicks electrons out of the metal, setting up electric currents. This photoelectric effect is now familiar to laymen because it serves to open doors in restaurants and railway stations, operate drinking fountains...
...ambitious student launched into a technical comparison of some of Einstein's mathematical theories with "Principia Mathematica," a joint work of Alfred N. Whitehead, professor of Philosophy, and Bernard Russell...
Newcomers to the 1936-37 Who's Who in America: Physicist Albert Einstein, Senator Rose McConnel Long, Maine's Governor Louis Jefferson Brann, Stratospherists Orvil A, Anderson & Captain Albert William Stevens, Cinemactress Shirley Temple. Voluble Surgeon Charles Horace Mayo of Rochester, Minn, supplied the longest biography (151 lines), surpassing by one line Manhattan Lawyer Samuel Untermeyer...
Charges made in the "New Masses" magazine that Professor Einstein had failed to attend the Tercentenary conference because of the participation of Nazis was denied by Jerome Greene yesterday. He declared that Einstein had failed to come because of sickness in the family, as the mathematician said...
...Tensor Analysis to Non-Affine Geometries." Speaking in French, bouncing with animation, gesturing with vehemence, this tanned, fox-bearded little man suggested a new mathematical approach to the great problem of a unified field theory which would embrace both the atom and the universe-a theory for which Professor Einstein has long been the No. i searcher. Roughly speaking, "non-affine" space is undistorted space. Dr. Cartan finds that some of the "vectors" with which Relativists play have a dual existence-in distorted Einstein space and in undistorted Euclidean space. These amphibian vectors may be links between cosmos and microcosmos...
