Newest theory: blame radioactivity. Many rocks are slightly radioactive, shooting thin trickles of gamma rays through themselves and their surrounding formations. When continued long enough (say, a million years), the cumulative effect is considerable...
Mesons are subnuclear particles formed when cosmic rays from outer space hit the atmosphere. In mass, mesons are intermediate between electrons and protons. In charge, they can be either positive or negative. The positive mesons disintegrate after a millionth of a second or so, turning mostly into energy (a gamma...
...encouraging factor is probably atomic energy. Chief trouble with earlier death rays was that no known source of radiation was strong enough to kill at a distance. But atom bombs do kill by radiation, mostly heat and gamma rays. If a method is developed to concentrate nuclear radiations into a narrow beam, death rays may be available to enliven World...
