...conclusion reached by Dr. & Mrs. Benedict was that the popular notion that the calory demand of the brain is proportionate to its labor, is false. An oyster cracker or a half-peanut would sustain Albert Einstein's brain while doing intensive work on his field equations for one hour, the same number of calories would furnish a parlor maid only energy enough to dust a desk for five minutes...
First to make any strong assault was Germany's Hermann Minkowski (1864-1909), who stated that Time is a dimension. Following him came Germany's Albert Einstein with his relativity laws. England's Arthur Stanley Eddington in The Nature of the Physical World told man that his reckoning of Time was misleading ; that the age of man could not be accurately determined by the time given by the Astronomer Royal. Two individuals, he said, one firmly rooted to the earth, the other skipping from planet to planet, would not age at the same rate. While the static...
Interesting will be comments on this revolutionary theory which will doubtless come from Albert Einstein. The Lewis theory, if accepted, will upset Einstein's principle of relativity which is based on an active past pushing events into a passive future, takes no account of a reversal of the process...
Last week's despatches from Berlin indicated that Herr Einstein had satisfactorily surmounted the difficulty; solved his field equations for two specific cases, proved his assumption. In the first case he selected an imaginary charged sphere to apply his formulae to, in the second a number of isolated charged points in space. Both conditions are actually represented in the universe. From the first the relationship between gravity and electricity on Earth may be determined, from the second the electro-gravitational relation of Earth to the universe...
...equidistant from the surface is equal. If we further assume that this sphere is a charged body the electrical forces will everywhere be symmetrical. These conditions exist approximately on Earth. To such a sphere and to the two pairs of forces acting on it the parent field equations of Einstein were applied, found to bear out his predicted relationship between electricity and gravity...
