These odds were calculated by observing the behavior of the Z particle, the heaviest known unit of matter. Zs are produced in the collision of smaller particles that have been accelerated to nearly the speed of light. By creating large numbers of Z particles, physicists were able to establish the energy range required to form a Z. Working backward from that energy range, they then calculated whether the laws of nature could accommodate more than the three known types of matter. Last week's results made it more than likely that the answer...
...reluctant laureate was honored for pathbreaking work in the early 1940s that laid the foundation for econometrics, which uses mathematical models to study the behavior of an economy. "Every time you open a newspaper and see an analysis of economic trends," said Assar Lindbeck, chairman of the economics- prize committee, "it is based on Haavelmo's econometric theories." Haavelmo's key contribution was to show that the relationship between such factors as income and spending was far more complex than had been thought, since those factors affect one another and the rest of the economy. For example, he demonstrated that...
Abernathy claims that he would have avoided sexual matters "had others not dealt with the matter in such detail."
