...behaviorist and psychoanalyst beware. They may be able to use science for the dissection and description of matter, but they cannot use it to tell men why to live or how to live. Freud and Watson are old-fashioned and their psychology is under the overwhelming influence of Newtonian physics. That is of the past and of the past their conclusions based upon it will also...
Thomas went down before the Columbia Grammar school juggernaut in the fourth round, defeated by Seligson, who had just disposed of Ingraham, the Exeter expert. Turner, highly touted Newtonian went down before Cox in the fourth round...
...disc) should be displaced away from the sun's disc by 1.75 seconds of are on account of the influence of the magnetic or gravitational field of the sun on the star's light which must pass near the sun in order to reach the earth. According to Newtonian physics this displacement should amount to but 87 seconds...
...average of the results obtained showed a displacement of 1.74 of are which compares favorably with the Einstein prediction of 1.75 seconds of arc and overrides the Newtonian calculations of 87 seconds. But as I have mentioned before the average proves nothing. The real merit of the result lies in the small variation in so many plates. The minimum displacement was 1.58 seconds of arc and the maximum 1.86 seconds. The results were derived from the measurement of 60-80 star displacements on each of four plates. The accuracy of the photography could not be denied, after the consistency...
...parts of the Einstein theory have been verified. The first of these merely accounts for the peculiarity in the precession of the orbit of Mercury. The precession of this orbit does not seem to obey the Newtonian law of gravitation, inasmuch as the precession exceeds by 42 seconds of are a century any possible precession under the Newtonian laws. Einstein's theory accounts for this difference most satisfactorily...
