...theory of relativity is probably the greatest synthetic achievement of the human intellect up to the present time. It sums up the mathematical and physical labors of more than 2,000 years. Pure geometry, from Pythagoras to Riemann, the dynamics and astronomy of Galileo and Newton, the theory of electro-magnetism as it resulted from the researches of Faraday, Maxwell and their successors-all are absorbed, with the necessary modifications, in the theories of Einstein...
...Dice in the Cosmos. Einstein was convinced that the cosmos is an orderly, continuous unity: gravity and electro-magnetism must, therefore, have a common source. He was in a minority, for Planck's famed Quantum Theory, which Einstein himself did so much to develop, and which many modern scientists accept, suggests that the physical universe is made up of small particles (quanta) that are governed not by some orderly causality but by chance...
Already the promise of piggybacking has sparked new life in the railroad-equipment industry. General Motors' Electro-Motive Division has designed a special flatcar, 75 ft. long and capable of carrying two trailers, v. one for present cars. The G.M. car can be loaded from the side by means of a forklift, thus making for quicker and more flexible handling than the old-fashioned "circus loading," by which trailers were rolled up a ramp at the end of the car. American Car & Foundry, Bethlehem Steel, Pressed Steel Car and others are ready to manufacture piggyback equipment, and Pullman-Standard...
...Quantum Electro-Dynamics. Since then, Hewitt has been playing a constant masquerade. Though he refuses to name them, he claims to have had professorships at five campuses before coming to New Hampshire. Each time, he says, he has assumed the name and identity of some scientist working in another part of the country. Apparently it was no trick at all to send for photostatic copies of the necessary academic records, to make up plausible recommendations, and to be put on the list of the American Physical Society in New York. Wherever he went, he claims to have been a success...
...their southeastern headquarters because the state gives insurance companies tax advantages for locating regional offices in Florida. In turn, this law is making the city one of the nation's most important insurance centers. St. Regis Paper had opened a giant new $18 million plant; General Motors' Electro-Motive Division has nearly completed a $2,500,000 expansion to triple its capacity. General Foods had a new Maxwell House instant-coffee plant; International Harvester, a new $300,000 farm-equipment outlet...
