Last week's keynote caused the Japanese Foreign Office's tart spokesman Mr. Eiji Amau to snort: "Senator Pittman...
...General Theory of Relativity is supported by an impressive body of astronomical observation. Relativity explains the orbital eccentricities of Mercury, the "stretching" of light from heavy stars, the bending of starlight around the sun, the slowed motion of solar atoms, the expanding universe.

He has done some mending himself, particularly on the shape of the cosmos, and he is glad to have other mathematicians drop in for a little tinkering. Modern relativity theory in fact owes a great deal to the carpentry of Weyl...
