    Notes: [Auszug] THE calculations and examples collected by Prof. Bhagwat should be very useful to teachers and students, as they are of the type which regularly appear in degree examination papers.

    Notes: [Auszug] DR. N. R. CAMPBELL in his interesting letter in NATURE of November 24 says that the belief that matter is real is quite unaffected by the principle of relativity, if the word “real” is used in the common-sense way, which is the only way in which the notion of reality is ever used in physics. He ...
