...Ahlfors will take the place of Marston Morse, professor of Mathematics, who is going to the Einstein Institute at Princeton...
...hold that intelligence must be defined before a yardstick can be applied to it, that an individual's social value may be wholly unrelated to his IQ. These skeptics guffaw loudly when, every few months, some bright moppet turns up with an IQ claimed to be greater than Einstein's (TIME, Dec. 10). Lately the embattled proponents of the IQ, and of ability and personality tests in general, have strongly preferred "batteries" of examinations to single tests, in an effort to get a closer approximation of an individual's total mentality...
...Franklin Roosevelt be nettled to learn that his 800 words fall short of Herbert Hoover's 1,100, he can reflect that he plays the leading role in 850 words on NRA. Other counts: Theodore Roosevelt, 1,400; Wilson, 1,350; Lenin. 1,050; Mussolini, 850; Hitler, 750; Einstein, 400; Chaplin, 180; Tunney...
...ultimate particles. Protons and electrons have electric fields, and relativistic equations which tried to allow for the presence of such fields came out with ''singularities" (anomalies). Thus physicists found themselves dealing in effect with two separate universes, the invisible atom and the vast cosmos. To Dr. Einstein this seemed wrong. His powerful imagination saw Nature as an integrated whole. Beneath the quantum mechanics and Relativity, he was sure, the deepest wells of ultimate reality held the secret of a great unity. Few years ago he made a start toward a "Unified Field Theory," abandoned it when irreconcilable flaws...
...into account with no more drastic change than a simple elimination of denominators. The solutions came out free of "singularities," and they described a space radically different from the old four-dimensional continuum. The new space was a system of two identical "sheets" joined here & there by what Dr. Einstein and his associate deemed best to call "bridges." The bridges turned out to be particles. The properties of one bridge identified it as a particle with mass but no electric charge, like the hypothetical neutrino or the familiar neutron. Another bridge indicated the existence of a totally unfamiliar particle, having...
