Another benefit, stemming from wobbles in Pioneer's flight path, may be the detection of a long-suspected tenth planet or perhaps even an unseen nearby star. Both possibilities have been suggested as the source of the gravitational tugging that is causing the strange perturbations in the orbits of...
Peering into the heavens from its orbital perch, the $180 million robot observatory "sees" infrared light, or heat waves, a form of radiation totally beyond the range of human vision (and that of most living things other than rattlesnakes). Even cold objects radiate some heat, making it possible for IRAS...
The bosons, known as W¯ and W+ and Z°, are carriers of the weak force, just as photons transmit the electromagnetic force. But bosons are more elusive than photons. Although nearly 100 times as heavy as protons, they could not be forged in any existing accelerator. While physicists...
The first strike scenario assumes that the Soviets will accurately he able to destroy any missile by launching many missiles at it. But so far no has demonstrated that missiles targeted on a side will actually hit it. What has been demonstrated (and led to the military's claims of...
The underground communications centers, housing the vital electronics for firing and controlling the MXs, would be similarly shielded, relying on fiber optics and lasers rather than conventional wiring to resist the devastating effects on electrical circuits known as electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from nuclear blasts. To clear the way for the...
