THE EVEN EINSTEIN REJECTS QUANTUM THEORY: Results’ “Uncomfortahlc " He| Says After Study of Light : Radiation. B the Associated Press. PASADENA, Calif. February 17— | Prof. Albert Einstein, with the apparent | mischievous delight,of a boy, continues | to_overturn the applecarts of science. The latest he has tipped askew is the | quantum theory. He says thdat when put to test quamtum mechanics are Quite uncomfortable. As physicists know, laws of the quantum theory show that it is impossible to determine both the | Position and momentum of a particle of matter: that only one of these can be_determined accurately. The dance of the electrons goes on Always, everywhere, the physicists say. They constitute all matter, and all ma- ter "is -in violent. agitated motion, hather TEare solid . bar. or the con- | tents of a liquid shaker. Theories Change. Years ago sclentists believed that all matter was just wave lengths. Then ®ome laboratories found matter to be corpuscular—that is. of small, minute independent particles. Then both theo- ries were combined, and out of these | came the quantum mechanies . theory, | some 30 vears ago, and it recently re- | #olved into a theory of duality of struc- tures, of both wave length and corpus- cular’ properties. Prof. Einstein is regarded as one of the world's. greatest minds in under- standing of these laws and equations. H> has Tevealed a number of times since his entrance to California, six weeks ago, a real delight in’ upsetting principles. In fact. he has been doing ihat all his life. He upset the long-held theory of conservation of enerey when he produced, years ago in Germany. the equation showing that energy and mass were incontrovertible. Scrambles Quantum View, To & smaller way he has just amazed the physicists and mathematicians in » talk on the “paradox of the statistical theory.” In this he scrambled the quantum theory. The theory deals with radiation and propagation of light on the basis that all matter is built up of radiation. | Pirst he said he knew of no actual experiment, but he outlined a theoreti p i METHOD “Trademark, Copyrighted 1930 | about.” rcal riment that. is impractical only due to the time and distances involved. Suppose, he said, ‘you have a box filled with radiation. Then you have a mirtor a light year away—that is, 6,- 1000,000,000,600 ‘miles. ~ You release a wave train or quanta from the box, and it speeds to the mirror, taking a year to grt there. Then the mirror reflects it 0 a prism 6,000,000,000,000 miles back. | Find Is “Uncomfortable.” By the quantum theory one can tell | within certain limits the energy of the wave train and the place where it will hit the prism. But if one were -to measure the box from which the radi- ation came, and the measuremenf were made even six months after the wave | chain left, such an act of measurement would affect the energy of the wave | chain even though if was 3.000,000,000,- 000 miles away. “That is very uncomfortablp to think said Prof. Einstein. " Scientists who heard him indicated that he was not. satisfied with Heisenberg's principle | of uncertainty. which a couple of years ago was developed to patch up the | quantum ‘theory.
