...cent copies of Albert Einstein's abstruse "Coherent Field Theory" reached the U. S. last week, the man himself, his wife and a daughter plodded about Wannsee, simply hunting rooms at that lake colony twelve miles from Berlin...
...Man's face was yellowish. He looked haggard, nervous, irritable. He sounded querulous. An internal disease, which last summer he feared would kill him before he could complete his newest theory, has made him so. That disease?plus the harrying visitors who buzzed and scraped about him the past fortnight, and years of indoor, sedentary work. Dr. Einstein, like so many other Jews and scholars, takes no physical exercise...
Einstein's World. The first philosophical explanation of the world was by Thales (7th & 6th centuries, B. C.), Greek philosopher. He reasoned that all things were made of various combinations of earth, air, water and fire. Compared to modern natural philosophy, Thales was simply saying that a small man was rapidly walking down a broad street...
...shape somewhat, according to its position or movement. Albert Einstein proved that objects change with time, that time itself is not a definite thing. It is different according to the viewpoint. Your hour is not my hour. . . . The scientists, in short, got a long way from the short man rapidly walking down a broad street. They had noted details. The short man was perhaps 5 ft. 4 in. tall; he weighed 145 Ibs.; wore unpolished black leather half-shoes, black lisle socks, a grey tweed suit, a taupe-colored felt hat pulled down over his bespectacled hazel eyes. His black...
General Theory of Relativity. If a man and an egg drop from an airplane at the same moment they will strike the earth, if there is no air resistance, at exactly the same moment. Such is an effect of gravity. Isaac Newton described the effect well with his laws of gravity. Albert Einstein did better with his general theory of relativity. He found a metric (a measure) with which he could subdivide practically everything that happened in his fourth dimensional world. It was a theoretical measuring unit invented by Georg F. B. Riemann (1826-66), mathematician...
