WASHINGTON, VALUE OF EINSTEIN TRIP HIGHLY RATED [ |Has Shown How Science | Rules Can Be Changed, | Observatory Aide Says. BY FREDERICK H. SEARES, Assistant director of the Carnegie In- stitution of Washington Mount Wilson Observatory, at which Albert Einstein has been studying new revelations about the universe. | By the Associated Press. | PASADENA, Calif, Pebruary 26— | The question has béen put to me of | what the visit of Albert Einstein means | to _us. it until Einstein drove it home in & way that could not be ignored. ‘Thus with our notion of space. may seem to you queer that space, which probably you think of as an empty vold, should have anything to do with rules. But the lgcee of physics and astronomy is not the empty void ‘which separates objects from each other. | ‘The physicist never thinks of space apart from objects within it; in his mind is always the idea of the distance of these objects from each other. When he says that space has certain T~ ties he is not talking about the void, but only about how he makes measure- ments to find what these distances are Methods of Measuring. But, you ask, is he not obliged to measure distance in a definite way? The answer is, no. He may measure in any way he likes, along what we call a straight line, for example; or, if he | finds reason for so doing, he may meas- ure along some curve connecting two objects and call the result distance. | The physicist's space is therefore | essentially a set of rules for measure- | ment. Those used until Einstein sug- | gested a change were unconsciously | adopted by Euclid 2,000 years ago. Until | less than a century ago no one realized | this service, it seems to me, cannot be let m‘nm_ ask y’l‘zu ‘{’h“k 'Il the distance from here to New Yor! Your answer undoubtedly will be the miles measured over the curved sujface of the earth, because that is the dis- tance which our every-day experiences make it useful to know. As with our ideas of space, so with a dozen of our other cherished notions. Each has been transformed and set be- fore us in a new light. Given New Power. Quite apart from the intrinsic im- portance of the results is the remark- able fact that such momentous changes of viewpoint could be made. By teaching us that, Einstein has put in our hands new power. The value of set_too high. The public itself would first catch the humor of a suggestion that it knows anything about relativity, and yet the warm interest in the man who has given us relativity continues, Part of this interest is our spon- taneous response to a gracious per- sonality full of modesty and kindness and humanity. For the rest, it means, I think, that our imagination has in | tom some way been touched. Nevertheless, Prof. Einstein himself D. €., THURSDAY.” FEBRUARY 26, 1981.'

PARIS, February 26. — Admission that Europe cannot hope to regulate its grain problems satisfactorily with- out previous ments with "export- ing nations, such 86 the United States, Canada and Argentina, was made by Chairman Andre Francois - Poncet at the opening of the second European wheat conference here today. ‘The first conference, called by the commission studying Aristide Briand's plan for a Eu an federation, ended yesterday. It discussed marketing of the 1930 surplus crop, while the second conference, now in session, hopes to work out a permanent plan for hand- ling future surpluses. 'Gas In Upper Bowel Makes People Nervous and bad sleep are in upper bowel. both In a sense, sclentific investigation Ts a game. The physicist must assemble his protons and electrons in a world —not any world, but one which has the properties of the physical world about us. As with all games, there are Tules. Some of these are predetermined; for example, the fundamental rules of thinking. Others we choose for our- | selves, and in this choice we have astonishing freedom. If I wish to ar- range a shuffied pack of cards in sequences according to the four suits, you know the scores of solitaire games, each with its own set of rules, by which this may be done.

It remained for | Einstein to show us that such is the case, and that if we judiclously change the rules we may still win fairly, with | a greatly increased score. | As a matter of fact we have uncon- | sciously been revising the rules of the | | game ever since men began to think | in a scientific way, but we didn't realize would insist on the purely intellectual character of what he has done.
