...heavy element like uranium into the nuclei of one or more lighter elements. In the process, more neutrons are given off. But the mass of the resulting nuclei and neutrons is somewhat less than the mass of the original nucleus; the missing matter-as predicted by the famed Einstein equation E=mc2-has been converted into energy. Basically, all that is required for fission is the bringing together of enough uranium or plutonium in the right proportions...
...applie-pie beds, shaving-cream beds, cold-pizza beds, and all the other ingenious tortures you can learn in six years of prep school. Carlo finally got the message. Chastened, he carted his sopcial pretensions back into his room and spent the rest of the semester alone with Einstein, Planck and the Four Seaons' Golden Vaults...
...Maurice Chevalier the first time, Albert Einstein the second time, and the award was never given again. P.S.: the flash point for "Valid for Board" Bursars cards is 312 degrees F., for those of you who want to be a hit at parties by burning them, since there aren't draft cards...
...essays and observations, from contemporary society to child psychology and back again. Erikson is not very systematic, but he offers many warm and challenging insights, often writing as a cultural critic. He moves from references to Tom Wicker's and James Reston's columns to speculating about the role Einstein's playful world-view had in his development of a relativity theory...
...quote Einstein, "Science will stagnate if it is made to serve practical goals." Researchers deal with the practical applications of scientific theories and thereby create technology, but they themselves are not scientists. They harvest the fruit of science using funds from government, industry and private sources, and this is, indeed, subject to public concern...
