Yale Physicist Explains Laws Of The Universe
Modern physics now describes things in terms other than those of position and time, Henry Margenau, professor of physics and philosophy of science at Yale university, said Wednesday afternoon.
Professor Margenau discussed causality, a term meaning the relationship between cause and effect. He described Newtonian mechanics, and quantum mechanics. He explained why scientists maintain that the latter is in keeping with the causal laws.
"Cause and effect govern the universe," he said. "One state of the universe invariably precedes another in time."
"To develop a causal science, a scientist must develop his law and his definition of state simultaneously. Observations alone," the Yale professor said, "would not bring forth a law."
He explained that in a universe of complete causality, if one can imagine an intelligence capable of seeing and analyzing the position and velocity of all the particles in the universe, this intelligence would be able to predict the future position and velocity of any particle in the universe.
"We are not capable of doing this. However, we can see part of it at any particular instant. From these observations we determine the causal relations in a particular system in the physical world.
"In order to have a causal system, we must have two things; a well defined state, and a law governing the state.
Professor Margenau explained the attitude of the scientist toward the theories of LaPlace, on which the present causal philosophy of physics is based.
"You have heard it said that physics is no longer causal, since
Students Attend Leaders' Meeting
Seventeen members of the K. U Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. recently attended a three-day leadership training conference at Kansas State College, Manhattan.

Denni Wade Photo To Be In Varsity
The picture of Denni Diane Wade, College freshman, which appeared on the cover of the March issue of the Sour Owl will be printed in a future issue of Varsity magazine, editor Doug Jennings announced.
"An exchange issue of the last Sour Owl was sent to Varsity by staff member Bob Sigman," Jennings said. "Varsity editor Jerry Tax wrote back and said in part, "We would like to include Dennis Wade in our gallery of beautiful coeds in a future issue."
Miss Wade is majoring in languages, is a member of Alpha Delta Pl, and lives in Mission, Kansas. The photograph was taken by Bill Chapman, journalism senior.
Alumnus To Hold Canyon Rim Service
A graduate of the University School of Fine Arts will conduct the annual Easter sunrise services on the rim of the Grand Canyon.

He will direct the "Shrine of the Ages" concert choir in a program which will be broadcast starting at 7 a.m. C.S.T.
the conception of quantum mechanics, but this is not the case," he declared.
Modern physics is capable of describing things not describable in terms of exact position and time. Instead of locating a particle of the universe by the classical method, scientists now use quantum mechanics, which are probability statements.
"In other words, science uses a probably location to predict a future probable location in space and time."
Professor Margenau's lecture was not one of the regularly scheduled humanities lectures, but was a special talk sponsored jointly by the humanities committee and the physics department.
