...smoke, tankers, sail boats and quiet pastoral scenes stand 110 greats of the history of science. To make things less bewildering for the literate, Dufy labeled the figures. Originally he painted all of them - Archimedes, who once ran naked through the streets of Syracuse, Thales, Aristotle, Leonardo, Bacon, Galileo, Faraday, Pascal, Morse, Edison, Bell, Helmholtz-in the nude. Then he had extras from the Comédie Franchise model period costumes while be dressed up his pantheon...
...volunteers with tiny radio transmitters fitted into dummy teeth. Crammed inside each electronic tooth are a transistor, an induction coil, two capacitors, a resistor and a hearing-aid battery- all miniaturized items developed by the Air Force. Once the radio denture is in place, the subject enters a Faraday cage, a metal-mesh enclosure that blocks out most outside electrical disturbances. As the subject chews and drinks in his static-free environment, his tooth transmitter gives out a signal every time two spots of gold on the chewing surfaces of two opposing teeth come together. In addition, a muscle-tension...
...cold dark before winter dawn, by the TV screen's eerie blue glare, the show's rumpled star looks like an insomniac alchemist. With spectacles sliding down his nose, he brews electrons, protons and mesons while evoking Newton, Faraday, Planck, Einstein and Heisenberg. To watch NBC's Continental Classroom (6:307 a.m.), some 275,000 Americans are sacrificing sleep for science five days a week...
...home be made democratic' and 'how to predict business trends.' We need foreign languages now more than ever. We need history and geography. We need ability to read, write and speak and think clearly . . . How fortunate it is that Galileo, Newton, Beethoven, Faraday and Pasteur had not been taught to work in an 'atmosphere of social awareness...
...human intellect up to the present time. It sums up the mathematical and physical labors of more than 2,000 years. Pure geometry, from Pythagoras to Riemann, the dynamics and astronomy of Galileo and Newton, the theory of electro-magnetism as it resulted from the researches of Faraday, Maxwell and their successors-all are absorbed, with the necessary modifications, in the theories of Einstein...
