'Dropout' May Out-Theorize Einstein
Richard Stern won't graduate
from high school. He'll be drop-
ping out of Beverly Hills (Calif.)
High to enter the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology at Cam-
bridge, Mass., next fall.
Richard, 15, is the son of former
Detroiters Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Stern. (She's the former Lottie
Kroll and has a number of rela-
tives here, including a sister, Mrs.
Hyman NudeII of Pembroke Ave.)
The school at which Richard has
been accepted is perhaps the out-
standing university of its kind in
the country. His goal is to major
as a mathematical physicist.
Richard taught himself calcu-
lus and is developing his own
method of mathematics, called
non-Euclidean analysis,. because
he feels the "ordinary kind" of
math can't cope with the prob-
lems he is trying to solve. At
MIT he hopes to test his unified
field theory, which attempts to
explain the similarities between
magnetic, electrostatic and gra-
vitational forces and the forces
within the nucleus of the atom.
Actually, what Richard hopes to
do with his theory is prove Ein-
stein wrong.
In his summary accompanying
his application to MIT, Richard
wrote:
". . . I have taken care not to
make the same errors as Einstein
did, and I fully believe that my
theory will be able to agree with
both relativity and quantum
theory . •"
Richard recently received the
highest possible score (800) in
mathematics in the College Board
examination. When he was in the
eighth grade, his science fair pro-
ject on magnetic fields and elec-
tron phenomena won him first
prize. With the help of a friend,
Ric:hard built solar cells from raw
materials, and now is experiment-
ing with Helmoltz cells, an ap-
paratus that demonstrates the
charge-to-mass ratio for electrons.
A straight-A student, Richard
was boiling and testing chemicals
in the second grade, and by
fourth grade was giving class dem-
onstrations.
His physics teacher calls Rich-
ard "one student in a lifetime."

This past week, seniors returned
from their annual senior trip to
