Dr. Albert Einstein is scheduled to arrive in Pasadena to continue his research at the California Institute of Technology on January 6th. On his arrival, a piece of good news to be received by him is that an experiment carried on at the Institute has verified part of his relativity theory to within one point.
In his theory Dr. Einstein predicted that a high speed electron would reveal a 14 per cent curvature, in reporting on the problem presented by the changing of mass velocity. It was disclosed today that Dr. Carl A. Anderson, the young physicist who recently succeeded in photographing the blasting of atomic nuclei by cosmic rays, has reported that one of his photographs shows a thirteen per cent curve made by an electronic particle which travelled with a velocity about equal to light.
