...reader reads: their interest was in the chronicling, the renovation of their own experience, and all of them wrote in the hope that such an operation would be valuable to their audience. In this instance, Eddington's treatise on "the downfall of classical physics" and the scientific revolution which quantum theory and the notion of relativity introduced has been superseded, is obsolete; it was written in 1927. Still, Brecht's Hauspostille appeared at the same time, and the critic's disposition is to consider this document beside the historical conditions which are in evidence...
...rents and the commercial muscle of concessions like McDonald's and Baskin Robbins. Max Wasserman, the most innovative and prosperous of the Harvard Square landlords, has extensively remodeled more than a score of his properties. All developers expect the JFK center to energize the Square's economy in a quantum jump...
...successor to the old Kaiser Wilhelm Society, founded in 1911 under the patronage of Germany's last emperor. By the '20s, the original society had attracted a galaxy of scientific stars, including Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Otto Hahn, Fritz Haber and Max Planck, whose quantum theory is the cornerstone of modern physics. When the Nazis came to power in the '30s, the society's fortunes sagged. Planck, who was head of the society during those turbulent years, tried to stop the Nazis from interfering with research, but he could not prevent the forced exodus of some...
...Chinese Market. Last week Kimura's group recommended that the government proceed with a joint development, and officials acknowledged that Boeing had the inside track. If the plan is approved, Japan's air technology will take a quantum leap forward, giving it a big lead in future markets of the Far East, notably including China. At the same time, Boeing will be able to open a door that is seldom used these days in the aerospace industry-the hiring office. The Seattle-based company dreams of developing important new models but needs a partner with money before going...
...Communist Party. In 1958 he shared the Nobel Prize with two Soviet colleagues for discovering and explaining the "Cherenkov effect," the bluish glow that occurs when high-energy electrons pass through a transparent substance. Tamm's prominence among Russian theoretical physicists was based largely on his work blending quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of relativity...
