Anything about it in your paper?The author: Yes. Heres a cartoon on it by Mc-Cutcheon.The Reader: Must be something to it then. Mc-Cutcheon always knows whats news.(Reads on with audible fragments)Most sensational discovery in the history of science - "Greatest achievement of the human intellect"--"Upsets Galileo, Newton, and Euclid"--"Revolution in philosophy and theology."

But it seems there's method in his madness-- otherwise how could he have hit upon the exact extent of the sun's attraction on light?The Reader: (picks up his paper and reads aloud with concentrated attention) "Postulate I. Every law of nature which holds good with respect to a coordinate system K must also hold good for any other system K', provided that K and K' are in uniform movement of translation."
