Synopsis
Excerpt from The Einstein Theory of Relativity: A Concise Statement
Omers was precisely what had been predicted theoretically by Einstein many years since. This striking confirmation has led certain German scientists to assert that no scientific discovery of such importance has been made since Newton's theory of gravitation was promulgated. This suggestion, however, was put aside by Dr. Einstein himself when he was interviewed by a correspond ent of the New York Times at his home in Berlin. To this corre spondent he expressed the difference between his conception and the law of gravitation in the following terms.
