Flat Space? Some of the astronomers were concentrating on the distant galaxies -or on space itself. One space-gazer (Señor Luis Enrique Erro of the Mexican Astrophysical Observatory) began to throw serious doubts on Einstein's theory of "curved space." Einstein's doctrine, applied to study of the distant galaxies, which seem to be rushing away from the earth at enormous speed, had made the universe appear too young, said Señor Erro. It seemed only a billion years old by Einsteinian reckoning. But geologists have pretty well proved that even the earth is twice...
...Einstein & Venus. Although many scientists pointed out that the Belmar technique was too crude at present to drag much new information down from space, they speculated happily on what it might accomplish in the future...
Harvard's Astronomer Fred L. Whipple thought Diana might provide a test of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. According to Einstein, the velocity of light is constant, which makes it the basic measuring stick in the universe. If light's velocity were proved to be variable, as some suspect, science's present conceptions of the universe would have to be scrapped. Since radio waves travel at the same speed as light, and the distance from the earth to the moon can be figured closely by triangulation, measuring the time it takes for a radar echo...
Last week the committee heard Jewish leaders argue for unrestricted Jewish immigration into Palestine, an occasional Arab argue against it.* Star witness was scientifically precise, politically fuzzy Dr. Albert Einstein. Gently he said that British policies had prevented Jewish-Arab collaboration. Smiling, he rejected the suggestion that he was anti-British. "The Irish," said he, "have suffered a long time under your rule. I have...
...atom bomb was the creation of France's long-dead Henri Becquerel, who discovered radioactivity, and the Curies, who discovered radium. It was the creation of Albert Einstein, sitting quietly in an old sweater, keeping his speculative pencil always pointed close to the secrets of physics...
