Rand's experts have written on basic physics, engineering, statistics, economics, sociology and world cultures and religions. They know how peasants in northeastern Thailand make their living--and how the economy there can be developed to fit a more Western mold. They have examined the role of the Catholic church...
The populist community of the air -using many CB sets with illegally high power output-has overflowed the banks of its 23 federally assigned channels, filling the air with errant electromagnetic waves. Complaints from TV, radio and even stereo users are flooding Federal Communications Commission offices across the land. Some...
The source of the troubles is the Ohio Power Co.'s new "extra-high-voltage" (765,000-volt) transmission line through southern Ohio. It is radiating so powerful an electromagnetic field that an unconnected fluorescent tube would light up. It is all very spectacular, but residents are not amused...
Before that happens, people who live along the existing 765-kv. lines feel that a few problems should be worked out. The main one is that the high-voltage alternating current sets up a powerful electromagnetic field that induces voltages and currents in any electrical conductor-generally metallic objects-within...
As scientists refined their measurement skills, they realized more and more the significance of light's speed. By the time it was established that all electromagnetic waves move at the velocity of light in a vacuum, that speed was recognized as a constant of nature. Einstein's theories...
