Carter and Kennedy also have different attitudes toward the alternatives to our long-standing dependence of fossil fuels. On nuclear power, Carter has yet to forsake his support of the "peaceful atom." He has not even taken the moderate step of calling for a moratorium on new plant construction until more is known about its hazards. Kennedy has come out for a moratorium...
...these four forces, Einstein concerned himself with only two--electromagnetism and gravity--because the others were simply beyond his experimental means. The two others, which exist on the sub-atomic level, were developed to resolve specific problems. Ernest Rutherford's celebrated early twentieth century experiments on nuclear density uncovered an empirical contradiction: all the protons (positively charged species) in a given atom are concentrated in its nucleus; since like charges repel one another, the nucleus should theoretically burst apart. So physicists coined the "strong" forces--those which specifically...
...Pakistani), for their contributions to a theory that explains the relationship of two of nature's basic forces: 1) electromagnetism, which accounts for such phenomena as sunlight and radio waves, and 2) the weak force that governs the release of a beta particle from the nucleus of an atom in a process called radioactive decay...
...molecular biology's leap into prominence has been amply documented. In 1953, at Britain's venerable Cambridge University, two brash young scientists named James Watson and Francis Crick made a discovery comparable to the fissioning of the atom or Darwin's publication of Origin of Species. In a matter of months, after cribbing clues from associates and competitors, Watson, then 25, and Crick, 36, cracked what they grandiosely called "the secret of life": they unraveled the long, spiraling architecture of the DNA molecule, a feat that suggested how heredity truly worked...
...energy crisis could ultimately destroy our economy and bring down the world economy along with it. Such a collapse would precipitate world conflict and probably atomic war. We cannot escape the danger of the atom. But I would rather risk a mishap once every 20 to 30 years than face one nuclear holocaust. Philip L. Hall Yoakum, Texas...
