Page's theory is based on current atomic theory, such as Bohr's (TIME, Nov. 19), but with the unique addition of a special atom which he calls ReX or Rex. This atom is a repellent force present in all chemical combinations. It explains the disintegrative processes which break up compounds by overcoming cohesion. The velocity of the Rex atom varies, and at various rates determines its identity as light, heat or electricity. Electromagnetic (radio) waves, color and light are identical in nature, though not in degree. There is no ether. Gravity is not a mass attraction...
...International Education Board, a Rockefeller philanthropy, appropriated $40,000 for Prof. Niels Bohr, the atomic expert of the University of Copenhagen (TIME, Nov. 19), for the enlargement of his research laboratory in theoretical physics. American physicists as well as others from foreign countries will conduct investigations in the Danish laboratory, which is supported in part by the Danish government. Dr. Bohr will specialize on investigation of the infra-red region of the spectrum and on X-ray spectra...
...Neils Bohr, professor of physics at the University of Copenhagen, winner of the Nobel prize in physics for 1922, gave the Silliman lectures at Yale University on The Atom and the Natural System of the Elements. Dr. Bohr was not the pioneer of the electronic theory of the atom, but he has greatly refined and expanded it, and stands with Thomson, Rutherford, Lodge, Millikan as one of the world's foremost exponents of the " new " physics. A few points of special interest in Dr. Bohr's lectures...
Over 300 people crowded the large room of Jefferson Physical Laboratory yesterday afternoon to hear Professor Niels Bohr of the University of Copenhagen give the first of his lectures on the theory of spectra and atomic constitution. Professor Bohr, who has won international reputation in connection with the theory of atomic constitution, in his lecture yesterday explained the model atom which he has invented...
Professor Bohr will give a second lecture on the same subject tomorrow
