...already doing first-rate science. Earlier this year, for example, astronomers from Sweden, Italy, Denmark and Germany used one of the scopes to help solve astronomy's so-called age paradox. In the mid-1990s, astronomers used the Hubble to measure the age of the universe at between 8 billion and 12 billion years. But other experts insisted they knew of stars that were at least 14 billion years old--obviously a problem, since stars can't be older than the cosmos. Using the VLT, though, observers have measured minute traces of radioactive uranium and thorium in the oldest stars...
...indeed about 0.4 in. shorter than children on nonsteroid drugs after the first year of treatment, the lag in growth rates quickly disappeared. Results from the children's X rays indicate there should be no measurable difference in adult height. Similarly, in the second study, of 211 adults from Denmark who started treatment with inhaled steroids as children, researchers found no long-term effect on height...
...truly tested. If you've seen Breaking the Waves, the plot is not new ground for von Trier, and is full of credibility issues and far from complex. For one example it's supposedly set in Washington state in 1964, but it is apparent that it was shot in Denmark, bearing little resemblance to the U.S., rather becoming an outsider's perception of America. But von Trier seems to be asking his viewers to take a leap of faith with the story, almost like reading a children's fairytale on the level of Red Riding Hood. Except the Brothers Grimm...
...much of Euroland adopted in 1999 to simplify trade and build economic muscle. A spendable euro won't be in print before 2002. Until then, it's a calculation that 11 nations peg their currencies to, and so far it hasn't worked well for Europeans. Underscoring the trouble: Denmark last week elected not to join the Euro union...
Martin is a star in Denmark, of course, but badminton players don't get the kind of exposure the glamorous Kournikova gets. And there's a salient difference between Martin and the much ogled Kournikova--Martin wins big matches. She's the defending world champion. Last week she achieved a silver medal, losing only in the singles finals to China's top-seeded Gong Zhichao...
