...varnished figures represent an outline of Einstein's newest theory: Solid Space. He offered no new formulae, only "the humble expression of my opinion.'' He tried to lead his listeners through a chain of ideas as follows...
...gave Space a definite physical reality in his theories of force accelerating bodies, the movement being measurable in reference to a really rigid body.

...years ago Dr. Einstein lay critically ill. Strange thoughts were coursing through his mind, this thought among them: why not add a directional quantity to the two components of Space and see what happens...
...finer and finer analyses, man has broken down Matter from molecules, to atoms, to immaterial "particles" of radiation.
