Said Dr. Urey: "I could wring that reporter's neck! It was just an idle remark. Who cares that I don't understand the theory of relativity and/or gravity? I'm just a poor chemist, not a physicist. It would mean something if [Dr.] Robert Oppenheimer said...
...Colo., the pictures showed enormous filaments of luminous gas spurting out into space (see cut). One subject looked tough, even to the A.A.A.S. In a secluded auditorium the mathematicians, happily browsing among stochastics and open Riemann surfaces, were cornered by reporters who wanted to know the exact meaning of Einstein's Super-relativity (TIME, Jan. 2). The mathematicians queried took to cover...
Lots of people, including Einstein (see above), talk about gravity, the restraining force which makes people walk on floors instead of floating in midair. What worries Roger Babson, 74, economic oracle and head of the Babson Institute, is that no one does anything about...
...Modern physicists, taking Einstein's lead, consider gravity an inherent property of space which contains massive bodies. They think it unlikely that it can be "neutralized" or "screened off" like radiation...
