...London, Cabbie Elmo Poluck felt a sharp jolt from behind, climbed out to pay his respects to the other driver. "What's your name and address?" he demanded. The embarrassed reply: the Duke of Edinburgh. "Then," Poluck reported, "something inside me brain clicked, and I looked up and said, 'Oh, oh, so it is!' Then I lost my equilibrium. ...

Curved Space. Hubble also intends to count the nebulae that can be photographed up to the billion-light-year range of the 200-inch. Behind this humdrum-sounding chore lies the eerie, brain-staggering problem of the curvature of space. Mathematical physicists believe (from Einstein's ubiquitous Relativity) that space is curved back upon itself, in a four-dimensional way, by the gravitational effect of the matter it contains. The curvature is too slight to be detected on earth or even in the enormous sphere, 500 million light-years in radius, penetrated by the 100-inch telescope. But theory...
