...third question reads: "Do you feel undergraduate activities tend to make the Harvard community more similar to conditions you will meet after graduation?" A sizeable essay could probably be written on this subject, but only a small space is given, and it is hoped that answers will be brief and pertinent...
...Note--The Crimson does not necessarily endorse opinions expressed in printed communications. No attention will be paid to anonymous letters and only under special conditions, at the request of the writer, will names be withheld. Only letters under 400 words can be printed because of space limitations...
...Evolution of Physics" costs fifty cents more than that amount and is worth to the reader a king's ransom, if there could be valued in money the stimulation and pleasure of a journey in pure reason toward an understanding of matter and space. It is not an easy book to read. Though mathematical formulae are completely left out and the words are short and there are many illustrations and metaphors, the subject matter is inherently difficult. Einstein, of course, can be expected to understand his own theory more clearly than any of his popularizers, and much more clearly than...
...nature occupies the opening chapters, and how it was devised by Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, and others to account for phenomena as they saw them. Next is detailed the new facts about light and magnetics, and its replacement by the current theories of four dimensions, quanta, relativity, and the time-space continuum. Each problem is outlined as it arises in a logical approach, and each theory gets its day in court, with the difficulties that led to its formation, the events it explains, and the new difficulties that lead to its revision and rejection...
...Einstein believes that Physics is in a bad dilemma at present, with one leg in the Field Theory and the other buried in Quanta. Investigation into particles of matter leads from descriptions of events in time and space to probability waves, and the problem of placing such waves in the field concept of space is a major one. Suppose that a solution is found; in what way are we better off? Dr. Einstein is not sure. "In our endeavor to understand reality we are somewhat like a man trying to understand the mechanism of a closed watch. He sees...
