Abstract
IN the year 1905 a paper was published by Dr. A. Einstein which gave to the world of physical science a new subject for controversy under the title of “The Principle of Relativity.” For ten years discussion reigned between those who held to the æther as a firm basis to the universe, and those who, treading more mathematically, felt a safer foothold on Einstein's elegant abstraction, little caring that æther, space, and time all trembled.
