Gentle Dr.Albert Einstein has a learned complaint to make in the current Scientific American.* In language shrouded in darkling mathematics, he takes modern physicists to task for what he considers their lack of interest in the greatest problem still unsolved. "There exists a passion for comprehension," writes Dr. Einstein, "just as there exists a passion for music. That passion is rather common in children, but gets lost in most people later on." ¶Present-day physicists, Einstein believes, are so busy gathering facts about the innards of atoms that they have no time for the great, round, four-dimen sional...

Radio was changed to Rundfunk, Telefon to Fernsprecher, Automobil to Kraftwagen. The Relativitdtstheorie of famed refugee from Nazidom, Albert Einstein, became Bezuglichkeitsanschauungs-gesetz (relativity perception...
...Princeton, N.J., on his 71st birthday, Dr. Albert Einstein ignored the occasion, as usual, and went about his business at the Institute for Advanced Study...
...Illinois betatron, the electrons circle a nine-foot, doughnut-shaped tube 140,000 times in four one-thousandths of a second, reach a speed only one-millionth part less than the speed of light. In accordance with Einstein's laws of relativity, the speed increases their mass 600 times. (The last few m.p.h. come hardest. Theoretically, if they reached the speed of light, their mass would be infinite-which is impossible...
...magazine subsidized by his father. His knowledge of many sciences is self-taught. Says Dr. Velikovsky: "I still need learning myself. One lifetime is not enough to learn all that must be known." His book is causing as much advance excitement as if it had been co-authored by Einstein and Toynbee...
