...ground. Göckel of Switzerland, Hess of Vienna and Kolhorster of Potsdam made balloon flights up to five miles, found the radiation seven times stronger than at the earth's surface. Thus the rays were seen to be coming in from the cosmos beyond Earth's blanket of air. Calculation revealed them as more penetrating than the gamma rays which emerge from radium at 3,000,000 electron-volts. Stopped by the War, the cosmic ray hunt started with fresh impetus after Peace.
