...figures were fairly safe ground for the man who presented them, Dr. Edwin Powell Hubble, famed astronomer of Mount Wilson Observatory. Dr. Hubble's universe is a finite Einstein universe, in which there are only 10³º (one billion billion trillion) cubic centimetres of space for each gram of matter...
...devised a series of electrolyses to produce almost pure heavy water. At Princeton, Dr. Hugh S. Taylor made three ounces of heavy water whose density could not be increased by repeated refinements, concluded he had pure deuterium oxide. Meanwhile heavy water's first fabulous cost of $150 per gram (about $37,500 for a glassful) was tumbling. By his "cascade" process which Dr. Urey last week described, 38 grams of 92 percent pure heavy water was obtained in 72 hours at a cost of $15 per gram. By summer Princeton expects to have from...
Einstein's law states that if a gram of matter could be turned into energy it would yield 2 (followed by 13 ciphers) calories. Sir Arthur Eddington has used this fact to show that the energy of the sun may be derived from the annihilation of matter. Although this theory has not been entirely disapproved, it is doubtful whether matter can be destroyed so easily...
...whether there could be such a thing as a real bargain in symphonies. And when they filed out two hours later they had been convinced that there, could be. Seats had cost as little as 40?, no more than $2. The men had played smoothly, exactly. The pro gram had been substantial, wellrounded. True to Sokoloff's principle a new composer had been given a hearing (see below...
This new liquid, priced at $150 a gram, can now be made at the rate of one thimbleful at a time, where formerly only a single drop was produced. "Heavy water" will be useful to physicists studying the structure of the atom...
