...rapidly growing field of electronic computers. Transistors can be built, theoretically, almost as small as the neurons (nerve cells) that serve as relays in the human brain, and they react several thousand times faster. A "brain" built with transistors instead of vacuum tubes might out-calculate a regiment of Einsteins and still fit in the room where Einstein does his thinking...
...trying to demolish the attempts of the "National Council Against Conscription" (which incidentally includes on its Board such men as Harry Emerson Fosdick, William Faulkner, Albert Einstein, the late Dennis Cardinal Dougherty, Louis Bromfield, and Zechariah Chafee, Jr.), your editorial does not show us one positive contribution of UMS. As The Christian Century has pointed out, UMS would reduce both the size and the effectiveness of the army; thus even General MacArthur has advised against passing a UMT measure under the stress of the "emergency" situation today...
...Theory. While the Air Force goes about its map making, Astronomer George Van Biesbroeck will be busy at Khartoum in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, checking up on Einstein's theory. During the three minutes of total eclipse, he will aim his telescope at the faint star field ordinarily blotted out by the sun's brilliance...
...months later, his telescope locked in the same position, the astronomer will return to Khartoum and photograph the same star field in the night sky. Comparison of the stars' positions in the two pictures should illustrate the "Einstein Shift," give man one more glimpse into the mechanics of the universe...
...proof of his theory of relativity, Einstein said, would be the observation of a slight bending of light rays from distant stars as they pass through the gravitational field...
