...Savants Einstein, Tolman & Podolsky prove that it is impossible to say exactly where that electron was before it struck the measuring device...
...uncertainty of the future has been accepted by physics. Physicists can foretell the general action of a vast aggregate of, say, electrons. But they cannot say how any individual electron will behave. Their difficulty lies in the fact that the instant they recognize an electron, the electron disappears or changes its condition by reaction with the measuring device...
...found in experiments with weak electromagnetic and gravitational fields. Additional work on stronger fields and in terrestrial magnetism is still needed to check him. The theory, says Dr. Einstein, provides a conception for a new geometry of space having for constants the speed of light, the charge of an electron, the mass of an electron, the mass of a proton, and Max Planck's wave-corpuscular light constant...
...Cruft Laboratory, among the numerous researches that have been under way, Miss Charlotte T. Perry, graduate student in Radcliffe College, and Professor E. L. Chaffee have completed a research on the absolute determination of the ratio of the charge of an electron to its mass. This research makes use of a direct measurement of the time required for an electron to move from one point to another under the action of a high-voltage field. The electric field was obtained by the use of the 100,000-volt storage battery belonging to the laboratory and the timing of the electron...
...light did not exert pressure this ion and electron cloud would be spherical in form. But because light does press, sunlight forces the cloud into its egglike shape. The butt side is towards the sun. It is in that direction 30,000 miles thick and appears as the Zodiacal light. From the opposite side of the earth where the cloud's resistance to sunlight pressure is less it is squeezed a million miles or more from earth into a thin taper. That is where the Gegenschein glows. Through that taper the earth's atmosphere very, very slowly escapes...
