...first experimental results in a new attempt to verify the famous "red shift" prediction of the late Albert Einstein's theory of relativity have been reported to the American Physical Society...
Using gamma radiation of an extraordinarly precise wave-length, the scientists have attempted to send the radiation through a distance sufficient to induce a gravitational change of wave length which Einstein's theory predicts. Until the experiment was suggested, the theory's only verification came from astronomical observations whose accuracy was not great enough to establish the principle beyond doubt...
...only definite statement on the outcome of preliminary work came from the British scientists, who have observed a shift equal to 96 per cent of the Einstein prediction. The experimental error predicted odds of 60 to 1 that Einstein was correct...
Because of the drop in qualified applicants, Funkenstein added, schools are forced to accept students whom they know cannot pass. Thus, the failure rate in medical schools has increased by one-third. Despite hopes that the opening of the Seton Hall and Albert Einstein medical schools would attract more students, no substantial improvement has yet occurred, he said...
This limerickization of a facet of Einstein's theory of relativity is a sample of the witty, plain-speaking physics that has moved over 900 University of California students to sign up for next semester's early-morning (8 o'clock) freshman course, catalogued simply as: "Physics 10. Descriptive introduction to physics." Limerick-wielder, parablist and reason for the rush: the lecturer in Physics 10 this spring, Dr. Edward Teller. The brilliant theoretical physicist credited with a major role in perfecting the H-bomb. Teller, in a series of appearances since 1955 on San Francisco...
