...Museum's Michael Binding Satan. The Archangel seems at first to be in command, but he himself is bound to the Dragon in a whirling struggle-as spirit is to matter, or day is to night. Recalling the Chinese symbol for Yang and Yin, the picture puts a cosmic interplay in concrete, dramatic terms...
...chemistry course in six weeks-"and then I fell in love with physics because of the sweep of its laws, I suppose. In physics you get glimpses of such harmony and order!" After his Ph.D. (from Gottingen University, Germany) at 23, he taught physics, ranged into relativity, quantum theory, cosmic rays and nucleonics. In 1954 his security clearance was revoked after an airing of past Communist associations and his anti-H-bomb campaign as chairman of the General Advisory Committee to the AEC. Oppenheimer moved full-time to the institute in 1947, where he has been "trying to understand...
...Beta is stuffed with instruments and equipment. It has air conditioning and feeding devices to keep Little Curly alive and to report her life processes. Russian scientists say that she has been given conditioned reflexes that make her take food and water when a bell rings. Other instruments observe cosmic rays, solar ultraviolet and X rays, temperature and air pressure. A radio transmitter sends coded data back to earth on the same frequencies (40.002 and 20.005 megacycles) that were used by Sputnik I before its batteries died. Professor Boris V. Ukarkin of the Soviet Academy of Sciences promised that...
...Cosmic Rays: For his third show in the Bell System's science series (Our Mr. Sun, Hemo the Magnificent), Producer-Director Frank Capra again trotted out entertainment as the handmaiden of education. Before a panel of Dostoevsky, Dickens and Poe, played by Bil Baird puppets, Dr. Research (Dr. Frank Baxter) and Actor Richard Carlson submitted their scientific candidate for a detective-story prize. Between fancy patter with the panel, the pair used film, animated cartoons and laboratory models to show how the sleuths of science discovered, clue by clue, what little is known about the cosmic rays that bombard...
...considerable weight, the 184.3 lbs. announced by the Russians, is enough for elaborate equipment. Either it or its successors can report on cosmic rays and solar radiation above the atmosphere. They can observe the density of the fringe of the atmosphere, its temperature and composition. They can judge the danger of meteors, the reefs and shoals of space navigation. They can observe the earth's gravitation, its magnetic field, its electric charge, and the cloud patterns of its weather in ways that are impossible for earth-bound humans. Some of these jobs might be difficult for a light satellite...
