Black Holes. Some scientists think that the answer lies in vast clouds of hydrogen and helium gas discovered in intergalactic space. But others, including Cosmologists Alastair G.W. Cameron and James Truran of New York's Yeshiva University, doubt that the total mass of intergalactic gas is sufficient to provide the remaining gravitational pull. Instead, Cameron and Truran suggested at a meeting of the American Physical Society, the missing mass may be hid den away in a completely invisible form: inside so-called "black holes" in space...
...familiar rules of physics may be violated. Its mass becomes infinitely dense, yet occupies no space. Its gravitational pull becomes so intense that no light or other radiation can escape from it. Thus the star cannot be detected by conventional observations. It becomes a black hole, or as Cameron calls it, a "collapsar." If a star-crossed spaceship ever strayed close enough to such a cosmic abyss, it would be drawn immediately into it and vanish completely from sight...
Although the existence of black holes has never been proved, Cameron and Truran speculate that as much as 90% of the universe's mass may exist in this bizarre form. As they explain their theory, the early universe's mass probably consisted of clusters of huge superstars. These primordial giants, as much as 100 times as massive as the sun, eventually cooled, collapsed and disappeared...
...match has been passed to a new generation of Young Democrats," outgoing President Cameron F. Kerry '72 said last night at a meeting of the long inactive campus political organization...
...reason for Quincy's success is its height advantage. Before each game the team goes through a dunking drill even though Cameron is the only one who can stuff the ball cleanly...
