Show Maurice J. Miles Gives Sunday Nite Book Review Maurice J. Miles gave more than a touch of reality to last Sunday night's book review. Covering "The Evolution of Physics" by Einstein and Infeld, in an easy conversational manner, Mr. Miles highlighted the vital steps in the history of physics, with a number num-ber of experiments. He was assisted assist-ed in this phase of the review by two Dixie college students, Clayton Prince and Jay Seeg-miller, Seeg-miller, who handled the equipment. equip-ment. Miss Linna Snow presided. Following a brief review of the life of Einstein and Infeld, Mr. Miles followed the rise of mechanical me-chanical viewpoint in physics from Sir Isaac Newton's contributions on physical forces, Sir J. J. Thompson's theory of "Molecules in Motion" the decline of the mechanical point of view and up to the present time, when the advancements made by Einstein and his contemporaries have solved solv-ed and disolved much of the past theories, some of which had been thought proved beyond doubt, and have with the relativity and quantam theories, gone far afield, but realize there is still much to be learned, and that some of the soundest views of the past are being re-written, in effect. However, How-ever, one vital point seems to have been fairly well established, through the qauntam, theory, that energy which produces light and the forces connected therewith, comes in parcels so to speak, and that time rather than space is the vital factor. The next book review, say those in charge will be February j 12, with Roy A. West speaking. |
