...farewell he gave-in good English -an interview to the Press, which the New York Times meticulously quoted. Dr. Richard Chace Tolman, his closest collaborator at Caltech, stood by while he delivered some observations and conclusions...
...using up its energy until eventually it will run itself out. Fundamental principle of the Jeans theory is a basic law of physics embodied in the second law of thermodynamics: energy can flow only from a more intense state of availability to a less intense state. Professor Richard Chase Tolman of the California Institute of Technology applied Professor Albert Einstein's relativity theory to thermodynamics, worked out a mathematical model of the universe in which energy does not flow continually downward, but expands and contracts in cycles, never reaching a state of equilibrium. Therefore he concluded that though...
...Savants Einstein, Tolman & Podolsky prove that it is impossible to say exactly where that electron was before it struck the measuring device...
Before Albert Einstein ended his recent visit at California Institute of Technology, he?with Drs. Richard Chace Tolman and Boris Podolsky of the institute?wrote a letter to The Physical Review. This letter, published last week, answers in a measure a persistent query: What good did Professor Einstein's U. S. visit do Science? In the letter he proved that the Past is as unascertainable as the Future...
...Wilson Observatory, has been telling Dr. Albert Einstein what he has seen through his big telescope. He has carefully described the red shift in starlight which he is studying 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...
