...Caltech's Dr. Paul Sophus Epstein, mathematical physicist, patted the proud heads of both great scholars last week, much as his whimsical friend Dr. Albert Einstein, who still was in Pasadena, might have done. Nobel Laureates Millikan & Compton are both correct in their theories, testified Dr. Epstein. Of cosmic rays which reach earth's atmosphere. 30% are Compton electrons (or protons) and tend to congregate around the magnetic poles. The remaining 70% are Millikan photons, darting right through the air to land...
...made publishing houses squabble. Harper's, dignified for 100 years, thought its ABC of Technocracy the last word on the subject. John Day was banking on Stuart Chase's "interpretation." The Angelus Press published Towards Technocracy by Graham A. Laing of Caltech, with an introduction by Charles A. Beard. Viking dashed out Life in a Technocracy by Harold Loeb...
Ashore, the Einsteins at once went to their customary living quarters in Caltech's Athenaeum at Pasadena. That night he stayed up late chatting abstrusely. Two days later, in a comfortable chair in the Mount Wilson Observatory library, he listened intently to a bright young man of relativity propound a retrovision of the universe...
Laureate Millikan: "No controversy!" Pulsating Universe. While cheerful Professor Albert Einstein steamed through the Panama Canal last week on his way to California Institute of Technology, Caltech's optimistic cosmologists were at Atlantic City-Dr. Millikan fighting for his cosmic ray theory (see above). Dr. Richard Chace Tolman presenting a reasonable picture of a pulsating universe. It is true, reasoned Dr. Tolman, that the stars are blazing into heat & light, that as far as we can see the universe is expanding, and some eon may become dull chaos, as the Cambridge physicists reason. But, if we use Einsteinian concepts...
When definite news of the new light at Princeton reached Pasadena, hearts burned among the staff of California Institute of Technology. Caltech was built to be the greatest lamp of Science in the U. S. Lumber, oil and electricity provided the fuel. Biggest wicks are Robert Andrews Millikan (Nobel Laureate, physicist), Arthur Amos Noyes (chemist). Thomas Hunt Morgan (geneticist). Astronomer George Ellery Hale gleams on Mount Wilson nearby. The late Albert Abraham Michelson (Nobel Laureate, physicist) used to measure light's speed a few miles to the south. Other brilliant scientists frequent Caltech for work & consultation, among them Albert...
