...Princeton 500 well-behaved demonstrators gathered to hear a pacifist message from Physicist Albert Einstein, a speech by Columnist Dorothy Thompson Lewis who advised: "Go into politics, young men. There's plenty to do in this country, getting it back from the pioneers who nearly ruined...
...traffic arrangement in Harvard Square, which was inaugurated yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, succeeds, it will be a great boost to Einstein's theory that a curved line, keeping to the right, is the quickest distance between two points...
Heading the list of Nobel winners will be Albert Einstein who will discuss some aspects of physics. The others are Neils Bohr, physics; Hans Fischer, chemistry; Arthur H. Compton, physics; Sir Frederick G. Hopkins, physiology and medicine; Robert A. Millikan, physics; Friedrich Bergius, chemistry; August Krogh, physiology and medicine; Theodore Svedberg, chemistry; Otto Warburg, physiology and medicine; Karl Landsteiner, physiology and medicine; Edgar D. Adrian, physiology and medicine; Werner Heisenberg, physics; and Hans Spemann, physiology and medicine...
Explicitly to atone for his silence on that occasion, Dr. Einstein last week published in the Franklin Institute's Journal a bulky essay entitled "Physics and Reality" setting forth his own intuitive, emotional, thoroughly scientific view of the state of modern physics...
...other words, assembling a great mass of observed facts and stirring them around until a connecting theory emerges does not work. Speculation and intuition are supremely necessary. What sets Dr. Einstein apart is the quality of his intuition. There have been abler mathematicians than he. But from a very few observations-the constancy of light's speed in space and the equivalence of gravitational mass and inertia-he divined how the cosmos was made. He did not, like Newton, invent mathematics to describe it but borrowed the mathematics of Riemann, Fitzgerald, Lorentz and Minkowski...
