R. Bär, in a series of articles recently summarized in
Die Naturwissenschaften, Vols. XIV and XV, 1922, has emphasized
this point. His data serve merely as a new check upon the work found in
our preceding tables.
[125]
“Die bei grösseren Partikeln unter gewissen Umständen
bei gleicher Art der Erzeugung häufig wiederkehrenden höheren Quanten
waren dann etwa als stabilere räumliche Gleichgewichtsverteilungen
dieser Sub-electron anzusehen, die sich unter gewissen Umständen
ergeben.”—Wien. Ber., CXXIII, 59.
[126]
Their whole case is summarized in the tables in
Ann. d. Phys., XLIV (1914), 693, and XLVI (1915), 292, and it
is recommended that all interested in this discussion take the time
to glance at the data on these pages, for the data themselves are so
erratic as to render discussion needless.
[127]
“Wie ich in meinen früheren Publikationen erwähnt habe,
zeigen die ultramikroskopischen Metallpartikel, unmittelbar nach der
Erzeugung beobachtet, eine viel lebhaftere Brownsche Bewegung als nach
einer halben Stunde.”—Phys. Zeitschr., XII, 98.
[128]
In my own opinion this is a conclusion contrary to fact,
since in a recent paper (see Phys. Rev., July, 1923) I have
fully established the “Complete Law of Fall.”

The results shown in Fig. 13 do not lay claim to
the precision reached in those recorded in Table X and Fig. 10. No
elaborate precautions were here taken in the calibration of the
Hipp chronoscope and the voltmeter, and it is due to slight errors
discovered later in these calibrations that the slope of line 1 in Fig.
13 is not quite in agreement with the slope in Fig. 10.

The inadequacy in this argument arises from the fact
that Einstein’s Theory of Relativity requires that all mass, whether of
electromagnetic origin or not, varies in just this way with speed.
