...breathes a small proportion of all the molecules of nitrogen and oxygen are ionized by cosmic rays-they become positive ions if they lose an electron, negative ions if they gain one. Philadelphia researchers have found that almost two-thirds of hay fever victims won quick relief in air that was heavily negative-ionized, snuffled and sneezed far more in air that was artificially positive-ionized. As a result, Philco Corp. plans to market a negative-ionizing air conditioner. ¶Automobile-accident victims often report "brain concussions" and are admitted to hospitals for study, but in 30% of cases studied...
From the satellite's behavior, scientists hope to learn important facts about the upper atmosphere, cosmic rays, the earth's shape, and certain data on which space travel must be predicated...
...last analysis," he writes, "the future can never, as in Gnosticism, be conceived in fantastic cosmic terms, despite all the apocalyptic imagery which has found its way into the New Testament. It can only be understood in the light of God's grace as the permanent futurity of God which is always there before man arrives, wherever it be, even in the darkness of death. Paul can certainly speak of a glory which is ready to be revealed for us, of the eternal 'weight of glory' which awaits us. But at the same time he speaks...
...cosmic 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...
Writing in Scientific American, two astronomers-Briton Martin Ryle and American Allan R. Sandage-theorize that Hoyle's steady-state universe does not jibe with cosmic 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...
