Tarzan of the Apes
Publication of "Tarzan of the Apes"
Tensor Calculus Collaboration
Works with Marcel Grossmann to master tensor calculus for a relativistic theory of gravitation.
Titanic Disaster International Coverage
The sinking of Titanic became a major international news event for the newspaper and its expanding readership.
Titanic Survivor Account
Completes a detailed account of the sinking based on his own survival and interviews with other survivors.
Turn to Non-Euclidean Geometry
Realises that gravitation may require non-Euclidean geometry, redirecting the search for a relativistic gravity theory toward curved spacetime mathematics.
Variable Light Speed in Gravity
Explores a formulation in which the coordinate speed of light varies with gravitational potential, an intermediate step toward a geometric theory of gravity.
Zurich Notebook
Uses the Zurich Notebook to explore candidate gravitational field equations and differential geometry.
Zurich Notebook Tensor Calculations
Fills the Zurich Notebook with tensor calculations while testing candidate gravitational field equations and learning the differential geometry needed for a covariant theory.
