FOURTH DIMENSION
Dr.. HeyI Will Show Things
"Mind of Man Has Been
Unable to Imagine"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A man who weighed the world now
Is putting wires together to show how
the figures Of the fourth dimension OF
space would look to men If they could
visualize the laws of that pet theory of
higher mathematics.
DR.. Paul r. Heyl, Bureau of Standards
physicist, known throughout the world
of science, said today he had under
taken the new task chiefly for his own
amusement, though his products viii
be preserved by the bureau. He de-
scribed the work as making models to
represent things the mind Of man has
never been able to imagine" The fourth
dimension has been his hobby since
boyhood.
No human being, Heyl explained, has
ever really imagined the fourth dimen-
sion of space. He himself recognizes
1t only In mathematical theory.
What the World Weighs.
The scientist made significant con-
tribution to mans knowledge Of abso-
lutte facts when he announced last June
after more than six years intensive
study that the world would weigh
$500, 000, 000, 000, 0O0. 000, 900 tons, rough
ly spoken, more than six thousand mil
lion million million of tons.
zone way of putting it." he unused
today, sis this: If all the human race
with all its live stock suddenly were
whisked to another planet, the weight
of the earth would not be reduced by
one million-millionth."
The 60-~ear-old scientist grinned at
tn Suggect ion of explaining the fourth
dimension in simple language, but he
offered:
"a straight line is in the first dimen-
sion; theoretically, you make it by NOV
ing dot In any direction. Move that
line and you get plane figure, such as
mension. Move the square in o direc-
ton not contained in 1t, such as up or
down, and you made a cube, q figure
of the third dimension. Move that
third dimension figure theoretically in
some direction which we do not vet
comprehend, even in imagination, and
the result is a figure of the fourth di-
mension."
Three Models Completed.
While he spoke he fingered the three
q bali of popcorn in which only the
outlines of the grain could be seen
such a complicated mass of wires 1t
was. Another looked like q set of tri-
angles, all crushed together.
The models varied in size from sew
eral inches to more than foot in
diameter. Heyl has been working on
them in. spare time for more than q
year, soldering black and white picture
wire together to form the outlines He
the significance of his work was ''per-
haps nothing at all"
"But this, you see, is my way OF hav-
ing fun he said, adding with q lighter
smile, II have known more dangerous
hobbies"
