...with his fellow astronomer, Dr. Milton La Salle Humason. At the same time, a neighbor, Dr. Richard Chace Tolman, physicist of California Institute of Technology, has been explaining his interpretation of Dr. Hubble's starlight news to Dr. Einstein. It appears to him that the Universe is not static as Dr. Einstein has asserted, but constantly enlarging in size, changing in shape. The nebulae seem to be shooting away from one another like pieces of a bursting shell. Therefore, last week, when Dr. Einstein indicated that he had changed his mind about a few points of cosmology, California physicists...

...Commerce in a preliminary report of 1930 production. From the 1929 overproduction of 5,357 civil aircraft, the 1930 output fell to less than half-2,514. Military planes, practically all built to contract-order, upped from 677 to 710.

...huge synthetic food-producing plants, were centralized, far removed from residential and play centres. Travel was practically instantaneous: in cars "magnetically levitated through vacuum tunnels." No animal food was eaten. The life span was prolonged to the limits of usefulness-then the worn-out person was "removed." Population was static, births controlled, hygiene enforced. Still men were not happy. They dreamed of an almost forgotten time when their ancestors roamed the earth's surface; their thoughts turned to other possibly habitable planets. Expedition after expedition, in projectile-like cars rocketed out through sidereal space, never to be heard...
