Scientists are now generally agreed that the earth rotates on its axis, and the speed of rotation has been accurately measured. Nevertheless, Sister Mary's pendulum will be something more than a mere exhibition. Since a pendulum's rate of oscillation depends on the force of gravity at the point where it operates, it will keep a constant record of the force of gravity for the Chicago area...

On hand were Denmark's Niels Bohr and France's Louis de Broglie. Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrodinger of Germany and Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac of England had been expected but did not appear. These five men alone have created almost the whole structure of Quantum Mechanics, which deals...
