Unnatural Laws. The things that science deals with, said Gold, range in size from electrons (radius 10 -13 cm) to the universe itself (radius 10 27 cm). Man, the earth and the solar system lie midway between the two extremes, and the laws that govern them have become so familiar that any deviation seems wrong. But gravitation, one ruling common-sense force, is ignored by subatomic particles, which are attracted to one another by enormously strong forces effective only at very short distances. To explain events in the "microphysical" world, scientists need the "unnatural" rules of quantum theory...
Last week United Air Lines announced that it had tested a microwave radar, found it the best yet for commercial planes. Company engineers installed "C-band" (5.5 cm.) radar in a DC-3 (dubbed ' Sir Echo"). Unlike lower and higher frequency radar, the C-band radar scanned both a storm and the weather on the other side, enabled the pilot to spot and follow the path of least turbulence through the storm, or to detour conveniently if his route was clearly blocked.
