...Millikan sat down to figure out its importance. He turned to Einstein's theories. He found, using the Einstein equation (M C 2-E), that the most conspicuous band in the cosmic ray spectrum is probably the same band that would be formed by the monochromatic ether wave of the radiant energy which is liberated when hydrogen unites to form an atom of helium. Einstein's figure was reached by calculation: he reasoned that if 4 atoms of hydrogen united to form helium, a definite amount of matter would go off in the form of radiant energy. This...
...atmospheric conditions of the last few weeks have prevented Professor Condit, for such is his title, from making a most ambitious long distance flight. Mr. Condit, who sees elevating possibilities in the study of chemistry, has constructed an ingenious, gas-filled contrivance, which will project him permanently into the ether. For his destination, he has chosen rather than the conventional mars or the moon, the planet Venus where conditions are more nearly like those on earth, and more favorable for Professor Condit, whose doctors do not advise too great a change of climate...

...conference was necessary because there are a limited number of channels in the ether through which radio communication can pass. Several messages at the same time upon a particular wave length, or too near it, destroy each other over a wide area of the earth (interference). Traffic regulations were needed...
