Dutch Mathematician Offers
Theory of Six Dimensions

What do they mean by all
this?
II you want to explain distance
all you need Is one dimension
length.
If you want to explain area
yoC need two dimensions-length
and width.
If you want to explain volume
you need three-length, width
and thickness.
Physical Space Not Involved.
If you want to explain things
about light and gravity and the
universe, as DR.. EinStein does,
you need four dimensions
length. breadth, thickness and
time.
If you want to explain why
mesons appear and disappear in
the atomic nucleus as Prof
Pals Is trying to do. you need all
OF these and two or three more.
Actually Pals and modern
science are not trying to describe
anything resembling a physical
six-dimensional space" explains
Prof. SatoShio Watanabe, who
teaches a course in field theory
for the United States Navy post
gra0uate school at Monterey,
Cam.
Prof. Watanabe spoke between
sessions today when questioned
by reporters.
Our human senses cannot feel
or experience six dimensions.
Even four dimensions requires
that we use time as the fourth
one-and time 'aS a dimension
does not seem to us to be the
same sort of thing the other
three areas"
when we get into the fifth,
sixth and seventh dimensions :
and all the rest OF theln-we
have to go into mathematics. No
one tries to imagine a physical
space that has six
The only thing which will ex-
plain the unique behavior of
some of the meSons is a for
mula that goes beyond three
dimensions into four and five
and six.
Since the formula works, the
dimensions must be there, even

KYOTO. Japan. Sept. 21.-If
length, breadth and thickness
add UP to three dimensions.
where do you get numbers 4, 5
and 6?
That's a fair question, but
there's no simple answer.
The conception of six dinen-
sionS came in a brilliant new
theory proposed here Saturday
at the International Conference
on Theoretical Physics by a
Dutch-American, Prof. Abraham
Pals, 35. Prof. Pals is a colleague
of DR.. Albert Einstein at the
Institute for Advanced Study at
Princeton.
Prof. Pals proposed what he
calls "a higher dimensional
frame of reference"-he says this
means six dimensions in his
theory-to explain some recent
peculiar discoveries in the
atomic nucleus.
The diScoveries-all since the
atomic bomb was developed in
1945-are that nearly two dozen
tiny particles called mesons ex-
ist in the nuclei of atoms.
Seek Law on Nelson's.
Science has the uneasy feel
ing that the only reason it has
not discovered more is that it
hasn't been looking long enough.
There are so many already that
no one can figure out any way
to account for them.
One of tho aims of this con-
ference, which has drawn 81
scientists from IA countries to
meet with their Japanese coun-
terparts, is to seek q law ex-
planning the meSons.,
Prof. Pals theory does ex-
plain some, but it doesn't explain
others. 1t is not the general law
that cleans up the whole prob
lem.
But most of the physicists
present were extremely inter-
ested and called it promising"
and worthy of study and ex-
tension. Prof. Pals is optimistic
that it may be developed further.
and either become, or perhaps
suggest, the ultimate general
law.
The six-dimension thought
didn't surprise the physicists
much.

Interior decorating, flower ar

She discovered her interest in
decorating during her senior year
at the Connecticut College for
Women. A sociology major, she
took a course in architecture her
last year-"I guess because my
uncle, Alden Dow, was a we'll

Then and there she decided
she had elected the wrong major,
and has avidly pursued interior
decorating as a hobby ever since.
