Last week, from nonscientific Dublin, of all places, came news of a man who not only understands Einstein, but has bounded like a bandersnatch far ahead (he says) into the hazy, electromagnetic infinite. Austrian-born Nobel Prizewinner Erwin Schrödinger, of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, claims to...
At Princeton, 15 years later, Dr. Dirac, who had forecast a particle, theorized about what happens when one particle strikes another. He selected the two simplest: the electron and the photon (unit of electromagnetic radiation, such as light). To explain how they interact, he ploughed through relativistic bafflements, covered a...
Nuclear chain reactions, explosive or otherwise, produce four types of destructive radiation: 1) alpha rays (streams of high-speed helium nuclei;; 2) beta rays (beams of electrons); 3) gamma rays or X rays (high-frequency electromagnetic waves akin to light); 4) neutrons (subatomic particles with no electric charge).
The West, with its theoretical knowledge (of ions, electromagnetic fields, atoms that are never seen, but "verified" by flashes, explosions, etc. which are), has much to offer the East, once the error of the West's philosophic ways since Locke is corrected. The West knows, for example, the science...
Shouts & Echoes. The basic secret of radar is that short radio waves behave very much like light. In the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, which ranges from the extremely short cosmic rays (trillionths of an inch) and gamma rays (which are released in an atomic bomb) to extremely long electric power...
