New Universe Ctiontrinzzed from Page 32, This work created a sensation among physic- ists, particularly among those who could not understand it, indeed, the chief drawback of the theory is the difficulty of expressing it in- telligibly. And these difficulties were increased by the radical nature of the hypothesis itself. Einstein argues that the much-discussed absolute motion has no physical significance, that only motion of one body relative to another has any meaning. He discards entirely our notions of time and space, say- ing that the former is dependent on motion and that two events that appear simultaneous to one observer will not appear so to another with a different motion. The year before publishing this paper Einstein had been married, and in 1909 he resigned his patent ofiice duties and accepted a professorship in the Zurich Academy. It appeared as though he might now settle down and enjoy a well-earned life of ease, but instead he continued to labour on his Theory, which he felt was incomplete. Newton had shown the relation between the mechanical laws of nature and the observer's motion, Einstein had exe tended this to include optical and electrical pheno- mena as well, and it now occurred to him that his conceptions might hold good for any form of motion whatsoever. Ten years he laboured, and in 1915 appeared his crowning achievment, the General Theory of Relativity. In it he showed that time and space are one and inseparable, and managed to ex- plain the phenomenon of gravitation for the first time. And among other things he stated that light rays are subject to gravity, and are bent in passing close to a large, massive body such as the sun. Here, at last, was an opportunity to lift this hypothesis from the realm of the abstract into that of the concrete. An eclipse of the sun was needed, and in 1919 there occurred one that was so fortunate that it seemed to have happened on purpose. A British expedition was sent to Sobral, in Brazil, and returned with the first definite proof of the Einstein Theory. The method was somewhat as follows: During an eclipse, owing to the darkening of the landscape, the stars shine out although the sun is in the sky. And in May, 1919, the sun was eclipsed near two very bright stars. The scientists measured the apparent distance separating these stars, Ein- stein held that the proximity of the sun would cause a bending of their light rays, so that the stars would appear farther apart than they would six months later, when the sun was nowhere near. He calculated the displacement that should occur, and then the scientists measured it. The two results were in exact agreement, and the theory had triumphed! Later came another test of the hypothesis, when Einstein was able to explain a mysterious shifting of the orbit of the planet Mercury, which no one had previously been able to explain. Most scientists to-day accept the Theory of Relativity, with its revolutionary conceptions of the universe.

The man who gave it to the world is now working on a General Field Theory which he believes will be the greatest of all his triumphs. Whether or not his most splendid contribution to science is still to be made, the work he has already done suffices to establish Albert Einstein as one of the greatest of scientific leaders, one of the supreme geniuses in the history of thought.
