Around the new Met will be grouped structures for the other performing arts. Manhattan Architect Max Abramovitz (Harrison's partner) is designing the Concert Hall, aimed at seating 2,550 and achieving even greater acoustical perfection than the New York Philharmonic's famed Carnegie Hall. To house a permanent dance repertory group, Architect Philip Johnson (TIME, July 2, 1956) will design a structure that will have "walls papered with people," i.e., a system of balconies giving clear sight lines to the stage. M.I.T. Architecture Dean Pietro Belluschi will build a new Juilliard School. For a park...

Last week two impressive efforts toward the definitive statement of harmony were announced. In West Berlin, before a meeting of scientists that honored the late Max Planck's 100th birth date, German Physicist Werner Heisenberg, 56, reported that he is prepared to make "a suggestion for the basic equation of matter." In Manhattan, before a meeting of the New York Academy of Sciences, German-born Dr. John Grebe, 58, director of Dow Chemical Co.'s nuclear, research, proposed "a periodic table for fundamental particles" that might help "explain the material of the universe...
Uncertainty. Neither theory is anywhere near being tested. To avoid "sensation," Heisenberg will not even publicly release his equation until next month. But physicists look for much from Heisenberg, head of the famed Max Planck Institute in Göttingen, and often called Einstein's successor. In 1932 Heisenberg won the Nobel Prize for one of modern physics' key laws, "the uncertainty principle," which holds that subatomic events cannot be observed individually without changing them by the very act of observation...
