Professor Albert Einstein has submitted to the Prussian Academy of Science a new important scientific work entitled “A Systematic Enquiry into the Compatible Field Equations, Adaptable to the Riemann Space Theory And Distance Parallelism”. Professor Einstein’s new work is creating tremendous interest.
The work consists mainly of difficult mathematical theory which cannot be understood by the layman. It is understood to be a development of Professor Einstein’s “Unified Field Theory”, a mathematical and physical extension of his Relativity Theory, which he submitted to the Prussian Academy of Science in January 1929 and which created tremendous scientific interest at the time.
The consummation of the General Theory of Relativity, it has been explained, left two urgent problems, which Professor Einstein has been endeavouring to solve. The first was the extension of the Theory to include the large-scale phenomena of electro-magnetism, and the second the correlation of the continuous space-time field with the fact of atomocity.
Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann was a famous German mathematician who died in 1866 at the early age of 40. He did important research work on terrestrial magnetism, and mathematical physics. Few as were the years of work allotted to him and few as are the printed pages covered by the record of his researches, his name is a household word among mathematicians, most of his memoirs being regarded as masterpieces, full of original methods, profound ideas, and far-reaching imagination.
