Einstein Gravity Analysis May Explain Atomic Force
Cambridge mass January 9 1937 Albert Einstein's revised gravitation analysis may explain a mysterious atomic force observed at the Carnegie Institution of Washington. The force measured at Carnegie was said to be a million times stronger than gravity and much stronger than electrical or magnetic attractions. Einstein's work suggests gravitation can support wave motion producing long gravitational waves and shorter waves for lighter atoms.
