The 100th anniversary of Albert Einstein's "annus mirabilis" has not
passed quietly. Newspapers, magazines and TV documentaries have all
trumpeted the year in which Einstein published five papers
fundamentally rethinking the laws of time and space. This year also
marks the 50th anniversary of the former patent clerk's death.
Yet lying between these two dates is a less well-known anniversary. It
is 74 years since Einstein attended the only seance of his life. What
could have persuaded Einstein, harbinger of the scientific age, to
attend such an unscientific event?
