If the Russians had any genuine concessions to make, so much the better. But gone was the worried feeling in many an Englishman's heart that other Englishmen (though of course...
Einstein's law on the equivalence of mass and energy (E = mc2) says that a particle which increases its speed must gain mass. In obeying Einstein, the Cambridge electrons grow very fat indeed. When they come out of the accelerator, their mass is about 12,000 times as great as when they went...
