...Stetson, distinguished astronomer and author of Earth, Radio and the Stars, mentioned the matter of decelerated radio waves last year to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. At that time there was some discussion of whether the observations were dependable and, if so, what could be the cause. Ordinarily radio waves are held close to Earth by the Kennelly-Heaviside layer of electrified air. "Echoes" have been observed, however, which indicated that the signals sometimes escaped and bounced back, in a fraction of a second, from some higher atmospheric layer.- It has been assumed that these vertical detours...
Last week, after hundreds of careful time measurements between Paris, Green wich and the U. S., Dr. Stetson had perfected an alternative explanation: The signals do actually vary in speed because they choose different paths across the world. On some days they lope along near the equator, where the terrestrial magnetic field is weak, and keep up to, or very close to, the speed of light. Other days they go by way of the polar regions, where the strong magnetic field slows them down. As to why the same signal should stray one way one day and another the next...
