According to Linsley's calculations, the primary ray that caused all the ruckus must have had 100 billion billion electron-volts of energy-three billion times the power of man's biggest atom smashers. If the cosmic-ray invader consisted of only one proton, as Linsley believes, its fierce energy must have made it weigh 100 billion times as much as a normal earthly proton...
...particles that have been speeded up by magnetic fields that are known to exist be tween the stars. But though this theory serves well enough for ordinary rays, the Milky Way galaxy to which the sun and its planets belong lacks magnetism strong enough to load 10²° electron-volts on a lone proton. Nothing else in the galaxy, such as an exploding supernova, could do the job either...
University officials said yesterday that a final contract with the Atomic Energy Commission for the $5 million a year required to operate the Cambridge Electron Accelerator will probably be signed within two weeks...
University officials have indicated that Harvard probably would have refused to sign the CEA contract too, if some of the more objectionable provisions had not been removed. Such action would have left the AEC with an $11-million electron accelerator and no one to operate...
