Little over a year ago Albert Einstein announced his field theory, asserting a definite relationship between electricity and gravity; asserting that they are interrelated to the extent that they are expressible by common equations. To the world he gave out the root formulae of his invention, called field equations (TIME...
Great was the reception granted this announcement. Few, however, were those who understood it, ever dreamed of understanding it.

Once again grizzled Einstein retired to his iron-doored garret room and set to work with a colleague. Dr. W. Mayer, on the revision and proof of his formulae...
