...does playing the piano. His father is Professor of Medieval & Modern Greek at the University of Munich; an uncle is a Manhattan braid manufacturer. He has visited the U. S. twice, went home the first time by way of Japan. On one of his visits a Columbia physicist complimented him gracefully on the contrast between his youth and his achievements. Replied Dr. Heisenberg: "You know what they call the new physics in Germany? They call it the 'Boy Physics.' " Werner Heisenberg at 21 had distinguished himself by studies on the Zeeman effect (splitting of spectrum lines when light...
...must be ready for a quick jump. Planes will drop explosives, gas, and disease. Their maxim will be, 'Jump in and destroy as quickly as you can.' " Dr. Crile on Glands. Medicine is cautiously probing at life, health and disease with the newest tools of chemist and physicist. In England Dr. James Eustace Radclyffe McDonagh, whose studies are gradually becoming known in the U. S., is using colloid chemistry, including the physicochemical action of the electrical charges on colloid particles. In the U. S. Dr. Crile applies electronic interpretations. Dr. Crile last week boldly predicted that during...
...darkly complex, so fabulously remote from the familiar things of human existence is science's probing into the fundamental secretae of the universe-of light, electricity, gravity, matter-that the language of physicists is becoming metaphysical. Efforts to fit new discoveries to demonstrable theory, or to perform the converse, simply pile paradox on paradox. While U. S. probers have been mostly content to spin new riddles by unearthing new facts in their laboratories, European physicists have tried more & more of late, by sheer sweat of mind, to coordinate, to reconcile, to reduce the areas of conflict among observed phenomena...

...length of time after Astronomer John Edwin Willis sighted it. The British Astronomical Association said that one Will Hay, music-hall comedian and amateur stargazer, had spotted the spot 26 hours before Astronomer Willis saw it. The Potsdam Astro-Physical Laboratory said that Dr. Weber, Reich Bureau of Standards physicist, had spotted the spot one hour before Comedian Hay. Impression created was that both the Potsdam Laboratory and the British Association, when they heard from their respective informants, had kept discreetly mum until something more could be ascertained...
