I also express my gratitude to the Mosad Harav Kook in Jerusalem, the Union Theological Seminary in New York, and the Na- tional Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., which I consulted in the course of my work. It is a pleasure to ex- press my appreciation to Professor John Stachel of the De- partment of Physics and Center for Einstein Studies, Bos- ton University, and to Dr. Trevor Lipscombe, Physics Editor at Princeton University Press, for their encourage- ment to write this book. Finally, I wish to thank Teresa Car- son for her careful editing of the manuscript, Lys Ann Shore, Ph.D., for her meticulous preparation of the index, and Jane Low, manager of the editorial production group at Princeton University Press, for the fruitful cooperation. viii Blank (cid:101)(cid:105)(cid:110)(cid:115)(cid:116)(cid:101)(cid:105)(cid:110)(cid:32)(cid:97)(cid:110)(cid:100)(cid:32)(cid:114)(cid:101)(cid:108)(cid:105)(cid:103)(cid:105)(cid:111)(cid:110)
