...then experimental physicists have converted matter into radiation and radiation into matter. In 1919 the fact that radiant energy responds to gravitation as matter does was demonstrated by the bending of starlight on passing around the sun. And, according to the theory, not only radiant energy but energy of motion had mass. Thus a steamship or cannon ball weighed infinitesimally more when moving than at rest...
...derived from ordinary three-dimensional equations by means of a mathematical bridge called a Lorentz transformation. Then he applied the four-dimensional equations to inelastic collisions between particles. Such particles do not bounce but stop dead at contact, and therefore lose the extra mass represented by their energies of motion. But with the change of mass there is a change of energy, and, as the blackboard showed at the end of an hour, the two are precisely equal. When the lecture was over a newshawk scuttled up to the blackboard, seized the piece of chalk which Dr. Einstein had laid...
...Hollywood last week, the American Society of Cinematographers awarded to two amateur cameramen the prizes which, for owners of miniature movie outfits, correspond to the awards which the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences give to cinema professionals. To R. B. Clardy, a Los Angeles commercial artist, went $250 for his 200-ft. film, New Horizon. A 20-year-old Japanese, Tatuschi Okamoto, who won the photography award two years ago, last week took $100 second prize with a picture called Tender Friendship...
...motion picture short entitled Throwing the Bull, containing this narrative sequence: "Now folks, meet Sidney Franklin, one of the greatest bull-throwers -I mean, bull-fighters-born under the sunny skies of Brooklyn...
...Denis founded a Society for the Spiritual Arts whose 100 members meet weekly in her studio for readings from the world's great prophets -Buddha, Christ, Mohammed, Zoroaster, Krishna et al. Before an altar, serious-minded Miss St. Denis or members of the Society interpret the readings in motion. They believe they have lately had notable success with the Psalms. And last week Miss St. Denis had ready a dance-pageant which she and a "rhythmic choir" were to present this week at the Riverside ("Rockefeller") Church of Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, later at the Rutgers Presbyterian Church...
