...atom, tightest bundle of matter which man knows, would be a morning glory pod popping out its electron and proton seeds, if physicists had an electric current of sufficiently high voltage at their hands. General Electric jupiters and Westinghouse thors have produced 5,000,000 volts of static electricity for an instant's duration. Their passing flashes have been useful only to indicate the nature of natural lightning. General Electric's William David Coolidge two years ago succeeded in ramming 350,000 volts through three special vacuum tubes connected in tandem. He got the cumulative, cascading effect...
...centimeter of water, and four other items. From observation he has figured very closely the velocity of light, the drag of gravity, absolute zero (459.4 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit) and six others. By deduction there are seven derived constants, like the mass of the hydrogen atom, or of the electron. Then there are six experimental constants, and four conventional...
Other Nobel Prizes awarded last week (by the Swedish Academy of Science) were three: 1) The 1928 Physics Prize (delayed) to Professor Owen Willans Richardson of King's College, London, for research into the movements of electrons emanating from hot bodies. His discovery of "Richardson's Law" gave other scientists important clues which led to the invention of the electron-actuated radio tube; 2) the Prize in Chemistry for 1929, to be divided between Dr. Arthur Harden of London University and Professor Hans von Euler-Chelpin of Upsala University, Sweden, for their joint research on the enzyme action...
Practically all the chemists who witnessed the experiment believed that Dr. Bonhoeffer had split the hydrogen atom. Newspapers so reported the event. That was ridiculous. The hydrogen atom, simplest of the 92 elements, has a single proton at its centre and a single electron swinging around that centre. The two may be particles or they may be waves. (The experiment tended to prove that they were waves.) But they are indivisible. To break them up would wipe them out of existence. However, the hydrogen molecule is composed of two hydrogen atoms. Chemists and physicists have believed that both electrons revolve...
