LAW OF GRAVITY.
SOME FURTHER INFORMATION. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.Received Dee. 2, 5.5 p.m. » • London, Nov. 28. Mr. Einstein, the author of the new views on gravitation, in concluding an abstruse article in the Times, says that the comment is calculated to cheer up devoted Newtonians whose confidence was recently shaken. While the basic principles of the new theory of gravitation diverged from Newton's, both in practical application agreed so closely to it that it was difficult to find cases wherein the actual difference could be subjected to observation. Newton's clear and wide ideals would for ever retain their significance as the foundation on which our modern conceptions of physics were built. The Times, in an editorial, says the new conception makes little difference to the practical world. The laws of physics become much complicated, but we may measure out land and believe our clocks as before the emergence of Einstein.—Times.
