RLAKESLKE (Associated Press Science Editor) NEW YORK, March 13.-Profes- sor Albert Einstein, tho scientist, announced today he had discover ed a new solution of tho riddle of gravitation. Tho riddle Is the unknown cause of gravitation and Its connection with electricity, matter and mag netism. Professor Einstein kept tho solution secret, explaining it would be tosted with actual ex periments. The announcement was made iu a birthday interview Einstein will bo (it) tomorrow to L. E. Levick of the National Association of Science Writers, nnd released through the association. EluHtetn thinks be has discover ed the clue to a long-sought single law thai will explain the structure of the entire universe and all Ihe mysteries of mailer and radia tion. (Sravtlatlon Is Iho missing link. Everything else .scientists have suspected, will boeonio clear If someone can learn how gruvlla lion originates. What la so Far Known Science already Iuih proof nil matter Is- made of discreet par ticles which seem to he oleclrlclty. It Is known that wherever Ihere Is electricity, magnetism appears and vice versa, If is known both elect rlcfty and magnet Ism t ravel in the form of waves, although seeming to he made of particles, both can have (he speed of light, and both spread everywhere In "fields' the sumo as gravitation has a "field." Finally science lias evidence all rayH, from light, to radio nnd cosmic and Including heal, urn only electro-magnetic " waves. There are a few laboratory experi ments proving these "rays" are converted into solid mailer. In Ibis way tho mystery or the source or matter and or energy hnH seemed complete, all except fitting gravitation Into the puzzle. Two years ngo Einstein an nounced be bnd a lentnlive solu tion which he described as Ihe idea that a particle or solid mat ter was a "bridge between shells or space." However that solution did not work well enough to ex plain all matter. A year ago Einstein, In n hook, annmuiced evidence the known "Melds" that Is electricity, gravita tion ami magnet Ihiii may be "I he only reality." Everything else, Including matter, would be some combination of (he "fields."
