Viscount, Physicist In 'Theory' Dispute

EDINBURGH, Scotland, (JTA)
—The theories of Prof. Albert
Einstein and those of other
theoretical physicists and math-
ematicians were attacked by
Viscount Samuel, who has been
president of the Royal Institute
of Philosophy since 1931.
Lord Samuel, who was the
first British High Commissioner
for Palestine, described Prof.
Einstein's space-time concepts
as abstractions which were un-
sound as a basis for scientific
observation that any philosopher
would accept. Instead, he offer-
ed a concept of "two-stage en-
ergic ether" as an alternative to
the space-time continuum of
relativity. Lord Samuel, who
used a statement of Prof. Ein-
stein's to buttress his argument,
was challenged afterwards by
theoretical - physicists, many of
whom crowded the annual meet-
ing of the British Association
for the Advancement of Science
to hear him:

Prof. Einstein Answers Criticism
PRINCETON, N.J. (JTA)—Prof.
Albert Einstein, in a 1,300 word
letter, took issue with Viscount
Samuel who described Einstein's
space-time concepts as abstrac-
tions. The letter, it was revealed
by Prof. Einstein's secretary,
Miss Helene Dukas, was written
last October in reply to a re-
quest from Lord Samuel. In it,
Prof. Einstein outlines his - view
that mind evolves concepts that
senses confirm. He chides Lord
Samuel for holding the impres-
sion that "contemporary physics
are based on concepts somewhat
analogous to the `smile of the
absent cat'."
