The changing rates of clocks allowed Einstein to conclude that light waves change frequency as they move, and the frequency / energy relationship for photons allowed him to see that this was best interpreted as the effect of the gravitational field on the mass – energy of the photon.

This comes about by analogy with " January " ( which ends in "- uary " but not "- ruary "); as well as by a dissimilation effect whereby having two " r " s close to each other causes one to change for ease of pronunciation.

For lawyers, reflecting perhaps their parochial preferences, there has been a special fascination since then in the role played by the Supreme Court in that transformation -- the manner in which its decisions altered in `` the switch in time that saved nine '', President Roosevelt's ill-starred but in effect victorious `` Court-packing plan '', the imprimatur of judicial approval that was finally placed upon social legislation.

-- Although there was some variation in results which must be attributed either to trace impurities or to variation in wall effects, the photochemical exchange in the gas phase was sufficiently reproducible so that it seemed meaningful to compare the reaction rates in different series of reaction tubes for the purpose of obtaining information on the effect of chlorine concentration and of carbon tetrachloride concentration on the reaction rate.
