FOur.DimensiOnai Space

The differences were almost eX-
actly as predicted by Einstein to
be the probable result of the gray
itational bending Of the stars light
as it passed close to the massive sun
on its way through four-dimen-
sional space toward the earth and
the terrestrial photographers.
Einstein's prediction as to the
amount of bending was verified.
According to his calculations, the
gravitatienal effect only would have
produced only half the bending OF
the light. The other half Of the
predicted>bendinc is ascribei 70 the
nature Of space, or to the fourth
dimension.
It is not possible al this moment
to examine the reliability Of the
observational evidence from the
standpoint Of a practical astron-
omer because extended detail Of
the star observations have not yet
reached this country But il Is
known that the light of Epsilon
Tauri passed nearest the solar sur
face; and even in this case the star
light was at least four solar diam
eters distant from the sun, or about
tairty-six million miles. This tate
Of affairs is not particularly favor
able to the discovery Of the Elm
stein effect. But it may well be

May Be Bent

Now in four-dimensional space a
line which seems straight may really
be bent. If, in ordinary space, you
clamp one end Of a straight wire
in a wise, you can bend the wire
by moving its free end in either
~ three ways. You can move it
IN an up-and-down direction, or a
r;ght-and-ieft direction, or you can
push il in toward the wise. But
in Einstein's space the free end Of
the wire can also be moved in a
fourth way, in the time dimen-
sion" Any one Of the four mo-
tions, or any combination of them,
would bend the wire, and the bend
ing would not necessarily be per-
ceptible in the ordinary sense of
the word.
In the present accepted electro
magnetic theory, light is supposed
TO travel in a straight line. In Elm
STEMS space that line is Cor may be-
slightly bent. And under the Eir
stein theory the relation of gravita-
tional force and light waves is such
that light is also attracted or bent
by neighboring gravitational masses.
1t is as though light, in passing 4
massive body, acted as if the light
itself possessed mass, in which case
it would be subject to gravitational
But gravitational attraction al
ways makes the attracted body move

this theory came in May, 1919.

Rejrncti0n

In regard to this criticism ~ th.
eclipse experiments as being due 8.
tae familiar phenomena Of refrac-
zion, We must again, Of course, crei
tie eclipse astronomers with enough
foresight to have eliminated this
possible explanation before they an-
aouncei that they had actually OBJ
served the Einstein effect. Nor
would there be great difficulty in
eliminating refraction by inter-com-
pairing results obtained from diff
terent stare whose light passed the
sun at different distances. Some
tars send their light much nearer
the sun than others. Now. as we
pass from far star 20 near star.
10Th the refraction ard Einste.n
effects increase But they increase
differently, refraction Increasing
much faster than Einsteia ending.
Thus. from an in.er-comparison Of
the different stars. it should be pos
..ble to disentang'e the two effects.
and thus learn whether the Einste'n
effect has a real existence or is
merely masked resraetion
It is far 70 say that the eclipse
observations have made but toler-
ably plausible case for the theory Of
relatively, but when we receive COM
piete details Of the observations it
Will be possible to study the whole
question much more convlncirSly.
The Einstein discovery is Of no
great importance in the affairs Of
the world. Only astronomers are
affected and ordinary human beings
need not worry about the lights in
the heavens. But it is indeed
gratifying TO note that the man in
the street reallg is interested in
the eclipse observations. which. IL Is
believed, establish the truth Of Elm
STEMS predictions.

posal to adopt the twenty-four hour
clock for general use in the United
Kingdom. "Cri" stands for Cri-

taurant in Piccadilly Circus, the
corner being somewhat equivalent
to Times Square - but that has
nothing to do with the chrono-
metric reform. "Sixteen-thirty" Is,
in ordinary human language, half

A committee was recently ap
pointed by the Home Secretary 70
consider and report as to the adj
visibility of introducing the twenty
four hour dial, already in use in
France and Italy and a few other
Continental countries. The scheme
is explained in "The Manchester
Guardian" as follows:
The system Of numbering the hours
Of the day from 0 to "a is no novelty.
The astronomical day has always been
divided in that fashion, and 0 with as
tronomers is noon. In several Cont
mental countries and also in Canada p
similar system was in use long before
the war. chiefly for the purposes Of
railway time schedules, though in all
those everyday applications Of the
principle 0 represents midnight. With
that as a starting point the hours are
counted as on the ordinary clock face
up to 10. After that - takes the place
OF LA Of ., and so on Up TO e and the
temperance Of zero.
"In the earlier half Of 1913 1t was
decided to make this system Of record
ing the hours Of the day universal
throughout the British army, at home
and abroad. Tho idea was that the
change would minimize the possibility
