...means "A Coherent Theory of the Electro-Magnetic Field" and is the title of a five-page paper of highest mathematical formulae which Relativist Albert Einstein worked on for ten years and last week handed to the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin for criticism. Soon it will be published...
...largely to the abilities of his art director, Claude Bragdon. Claude Bragdon's fame lies principally outside the theatre; largely in fact, it exists in the fourth dimension for it washe who translated Ouspensky's Tertium Organum and wrote, among other works, Four Dimensional Vistas. When Einstein came to the U. S., Bragdon was one of the first named as belonging to that hypothetical "ten" who understood the master's theory of relativity. Especially was Claude Bragdon interested in mathematical metaphysics as applied to esthetics, for by profession he is an architect. Among his buildings...
Beset by doubts, historical philosophers base their theories on one certitude. Civilizations are never static. They are always in motion, creatively toward stronger outpourings of their spirit or destructively toward decay and dissolution. Thus Western civilization, with its vaulting expression in Gothic cathedrals, Beethoven, da Vinci, Einstein, Manhattan's sun-smitten towers, is either seething onward toward mightier transactions, more luminous cultural & scientific manifestations, or suffering the nervous, senile disintegration which desolated Rome, Egypt, ancient China...
...Optical Society of America was meeting there, in the auditorium of the Bureau of Standards. Several hundred physicists who have been searching out light's properties and effects hailed him as one of their greatest. He had measured light data upon which Albert Einstein was able to base his relativity theory...
...Professor Einstein, frantic with the imminence of death from heart trouble, has been intensely working on two new theories corollary to relativity. One he has just submitted to the Berlin Academy of Science, for study. The other is yet unfinished. Last summer he spent at Lubeck, Baltic sea resort. Last week he was in Berlin, reasoning a few hours each day in a small, secluded room atop his apartment house. His malady has made him annoyingly nervous and querulous. In his wife's words, if someone suddenly disturbs him, he screams, shrieks and raves. Then he calms down...
