Married. Margot Einstein, 21, sculptress daughter of Professor Albert Einstein, physicist; and Dr. Dimitri Marianov, Russian scientist-writer who with Fraülein Einstein lately accompanied Sir Rabindranath Tagore on a tour of Soviet Russia's schools; in a Berlin registry office...
...talk about last week. They learned that six weeks hence three of the world's most famed physicists, all Nobel prize winners, were to meet in the U. S. at California Institute of Technology ("Caltech") in Pasadena for a scientific chat. One of the three, Dr. Albert Einstein, has a long way to travel. On Dec. 2, he, his wife Frau Elsa Einstein and his research assistant Dr. Walter Mayer (TIME, Oct. 27) will go aboard the Belgenland, have a month's boat ride to California via Panama. Frau Einstein will act as guard to keep the public...
...Einstein has been considering another trip to U. S. for three years. (He visited in 1921.) He will arrive just in time to see Dr. Michelson perform his light experiments. Since he was a young physics instructor at Annapolis, Dr. Michelson has repeated his measurements from time to time, refining his technique with each performance. In 1926, he shot a beam of light from Mt. Wilson to San Antonio Peak, 22 mi. away, determined that light travels 186,284 mi. per sec. Later he was convinced that he might have made an error of 18.62 mi. per sec. because...
...Einstein is interested in getting an exact measure of light's speed because it bears on his theories of the curvature and limitation of space. He will be able to put his eye to Dr. Michelson's eyepiece, watch the light flash in a 32-faced revolving mirror placed at one end of the tube. The mirror is adjusted so that by the time the light beam has raced away from it, down the mile tube and back again, another one of its 32 faces has turned to catch the light. By measuring the time it takes...
