...mishandling by his mother. He was simply what used to be known as a difficult child, and chances are that he was born that way. So, at least, believe Psychiatrists Alexander Thomas and Stella Chess, of the New York University School of Medicine, and Pediatrician Herbert Birch, of Albert Einstein College of Medicine...
...shared the Nobel Prize with two Soviet colleagues for discovering and explaining the "Cherenkov effect," the bluish glow that occurs when high-energy electrons pass through a transparent substance. Tamm's prominence among Russian theoretical physicists was based largely on his work blending quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of relativity...
...Great scientists? Composers? Statesmen? When Geneticist Hermann J. Muller first broached the idea of sperm banks in Out of the Night (1935), he suggested Lenin as a sperm donor. In later editions, Lenin was conspicuously absent, replaced on Muller's list by Leonardo da Vinci, Descartes, Pasteur, Lincoln and Einstein. Society could well be as fickle?or worse?about cloning. It might create a caste of subservient workers, as in 1984, or a breed of super-warriors out of a "genetics race" between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. An even more hideous nightmare would be the "clonal farm," where anyone...
...globe by heat and radiation -suddenly begin to fall inward toward the star's center of gravity. If the star is massive enough, the imploding gases gather such momentum as they fall that they virtually crush themselves out of existence at the stellar center. Using the formulas of Einstein's general theory of relativity, more recent theorists predict that as the star shrinks toward oblivion, the familiar rules of physics may be violated. Its mass becomes infinitely dense, yet occupies no space. Its gravitational pull becomes so intense that no light or other radiation can escape from...
Despite the odds stacking up against him. Physicist Dicke was not yet ready to surrender. "If this were a poker game," he said, "I would be staying with my hand." If Einstein were still alive, however, he would certainly be ready to raise...
