Refutation Effort for Einstein at Case School
Cleveland December 24 A new effort to refute Einstein's theory is being launched at Case School of Applied Science.

He will hold a $100,000 physics chair endowed by Andrew Swasey and install an interferometer to measure small displacements by light beam interference to support his ether hypothesis.
