Abstract
PROF. R. C. TOLMAN, of the Norman Bridge Laboratory of Physics, Pasadena, has published, in recent issues of the Proceedings of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, a series of papers on world geometry in its time relations. The subject is the same as that of recent papers by Lemaitre, de Sitter, and Eddington, namely, the existence of non-static solutions of Einstein's gravitational equations. Prof. Tolman's papers are admirably concrete and free from paradox, and will appeal to those who are attracted by a certain definiteness of point of view.
