Despite the satisfaction the refugees said they got from warm, friendly relations with people around them, there were constant complaints "about mutual suspicion and protestations that 'you couldn't trust anybody...
...maritime jobs are more exacting or, under the right conditions, more rewarding, than that of a Suez pilot. The shifting, sandy banks and uncertain currents of the narrow (500 ft. at water level), man-made ditch are a constant menace to the free passage of the 40 or more ships that go through each day. To guide the ships safely through, the man at the helm must be familiar with every foot of bottom and bank, know every temperament of the current. In some parts of the Suez channel, a pilot may even have to turn his ship...
...questions-How did the universe begin? How will it end?-British Cosmologist Fred Hoyle had a pair of startling answers: It had no beginning and will have no end. Instead, according to Hoyle. the universe is a steady state that is infinite in space and time and has a constant density maintained by the creation of new matter to compensate for the thinning of matter by expansion (TIME, Sept...
...fact. Rather, their findings support the rival evolutionary theory that the universe is expanding from its beginnings as a dense state of matter. The evolutionary theory also holds that the universe once expanded at a faster rate than now. Hoyle believes that the universe has always expanded at a constant rate...
...Ryle: "If most of the radio stars are in fact collisions between galaxies, such encounters apparently are considerably more frequent in distant space (perhaps billions of light-years away) than near us. This disparity would argue against the steady-state hypothesis that the density of matter in space remains constant. The radio signals we are now receiving from distant collisions started on their way billions of years ago. If the evolutionary theory is correct, the universe should have been denser then, and encounters between galaxies more likely...
