...James Jeans thinks it must be 40,000,000° or 50,000,000°, adding that a pinhead heated to this point would radiate energy at the rate of three quadrillion horsepower, knock down fortresses by sheer pressure of radiation (TIME, Nov. 19). Last week a Harvard physicist named T. E. Sterne offered the electrochemists calculations boosting the inside temperatures of ordinary stars (the sun is an ordinary star...
...When a physicist has determined the electric charge of one electron, he has determined the charge of all electrons. If the minds of men were like electrons, the tasks of psychologists would be easier. As it is, psychologists rarely bother with the vagaries of a single individual but test, question, examine hundreds-thousands if possible. Some conclusions distilled from such surveys and presented at last week's gathering of 500 psychologists in Ann Arbor, Mich...
...cynic might argue that the activities undertaken in the name of science in the cinema are not more absurd than those undertaken in the name of science in reality. It would not be an easy argument to win. In She, for example, the dying physicist, who is as essential to this school of film as the corpse to a murder mystery, announces a hypothesis that life may be indefinitely prolonged in a human being by broiling him over a phenomenally hot flame. With this point firmly in mind, the scientist's nephew Leo Vincey (Randolph Scott) and his associate...
...light continuously or in indiscriminate amounts, but in separate pulses and uniform quantities which were subsequently called quanta. Planck's constant, h, is equal to .00000000000000000000000000655 erg-seconds. For any sort of light the energy multiplied by the period of vibration is always equal to h. To a physicist grouping within the atom, h and the quantum mechanics which have grown up around it are as important as bait, hook & line to a fisherman...
Albert Einstein, world renowned physicist, will be awarded an honorary degree of Doctor of Science this morning as eleven other men including Norman Davis, United States ambassador at large, Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture, and William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette are also honored...
