...miles an unheard-of rate of speed even for astronomy. Mathematicians worked over this and other results to prove that the distant nebulae are in some manner tangled up in the outer folds of the universe, so that their light waves are being broadened by the Einstein effect rather than by their speed...

Forty-five separate clouds of galaxies have been studies at Harvard during the last few years. Some contain only a few galaxies, other contain several hundred. Observation seems to show that the universe is closed; that every part of it is related by the force of gravity or the Einstein space effect. It was found that the light from the distant nebulae varied from that no earth...

...Craned their necks to peer at Professor Albert Einstein who walked into the distinguished strangers' gallery wearing a white linen suit while his friend, Commander Oliver Locker-Lampson M. P., flayed Hitlerite persecution of Jews, offered a bill to extend to Jewish refugees greater facilities for obtaining British citizenship...

...Today Professor Einstein is without a home!" cried Commander Locker- Lampson. "When he is asked to put his address in visitors' books in England he has to write 'ohne' (without). The Huns have stolen his savings, plundered his place of residence and even taken his beloved violin.* How proud this country must be to have offered him shelter at Oxford...

Professor Bohr, who has invented a very useful description of the atom, first pointed to Professor Einstein's relativity laws which say that we can never measure absolute time. Next he referred to Professor Werner Heisenberg's proof that we cannot measure at the same instant both the speed and the position of an electron, that the more exactly we determine the speed of electrons in an atom the less certain we can be of the position of the electrons in an atom. Thus, we can never say precisely what is Cause or what is Effect. The Heisenberg...
