...present conditions in the universe. Some concluded that stars were rapidly receding from the earth and that light was shifted into an invisible part of the spectrum. Others argued that stars have only a limited life-time and that, at a given moment, only a small number will emit visible light...
Primeval Reversal. On the other hand, such celestial bodies as quasars appear to emit enormous quantities of energy that probably could not be produced by nuclear reactions alone. In some cases, Alfvén says, "total annihilation of matter and antimatter may be the only possible energy source." The sudden release of great amounts of energy from a supernova, for example, has never been satisfactorily explained. It might well be caused by the collision of antimatter and matter stars...
...NEUTRON ACTIVATION ANALYSIS links suspects to incredibly small bits of physical evidence that defy conventional chemical or spectroscopic analysis. Tiny flecks of paint from a jimmied door may turn out to be crucial when found on a burglar's clothing, simply because atomic particles emit specific radiation patterns when properly stimulated in a nuclear reactor. The patterns are projected on an oscilloscope screen, and if those from the burglar match those from the door, he might as well plead guilty. Developed by General Dynamics Corp.'s General Atomic Division, N.A.A. has already won convictions in Canada, New York...
...week, adding that he suspected them of being "very distant, superbright galaxies reaching more than halfway to the horizon of the universe." Like quasars, they resemble stars, are up to 100 times as bright as an ordinary galaxy, and are receding from earth at tremendous speeds. Unlike quasars, they emit no radio energy...
Kenya's witch doctors are an impressive lot. Clad in ostrich plumes, tarbooshes, beaded caps, seashell belts and fur aprons, they emit noises even stranger than their appearance as they stalk along with pebble-filled antelope horns, porcupine quills and fly whisks. Their satchels of leopard or monkey skin bulge with the tools of their trade: magical elixirs (miti-shambd), dead and living animals, hammers, chisels and dung. They represent the only form of medical attention paid to nearly 80% of Kenya's 8,000,000 Africans and Asians, despite a government program that has spent...
