...about 700 years, magnetism has been known as the force that stands still. Last week a physicist claimed to have proved that magnetism moves. Professor Felix Ehrenhaft, formerly of Vienna, told the American Physical Society meeting in Manhattan that magnetism flows as electricity flows. If he is right, his discovery is at least as revealing as Benjamin Franklin's kite, and technology has a new horse to harness...
Craig is a former industrial-research physicist, with a score of patents in radio and electronics. He said he had worked on television for more than 15 years. Because a television transmitter costs more than $250,000 to build, he had as yet been unable to give his system a full trial, but he said he had successfully tested its important elements. Craig hoped that television manufacturers would fully investigate his system before investing heavily in present types of equipment...
Niels Bohr, Denmark's Nobel Prize-winning physicist, was back where he had done much of his famed work on the atom: in England. High-domed, shaggy-browed Bohr, according to a London paper, had reached England from Denmark by way of Sweden in an escape which "when . . . told in full will be one of the most thrilling...
...perhaps the calmest burst of amazing prophecy on record, General Electric's famed Physicist-Chemist Irving Langmuir recently predicted that man would some day speed up to 5,000 miles an hour in a vacuum tube. He thought it would be perfectly possible to build an airtight vehicle, magnetically suspended in the tube and electronically controlled, in which travelers might zip from New York to San Francisco in an hour...
...thing can be said for all four girls: they are eager, intelligent and quick-witted young ladies, intent upon passing the course despite incidental distractions. Two of them, Ensigns Schwerin and Paulsen, are former "schoolm'arms.". Ensign Myers was a research physicist in civilian life. And Ensign Quadland is the girl who knows all about True Confessions, Love Stories and Wild West Tales, having edited several pulp magazines before donning the navy blue...
