...listen the whole way through, you won't notice that Martha and the Vandellas' "Heat Wave" is both #102 and #263. You also wouldn't know that the Beatles make the list 19 times, the Beach Boys 12, Rolling Stones 8, and Monkees...
Because the organisms would encounter severe cold if they drifted farther up in the clouds, or extreme heat if they descended too far toward the surface, Morowitz and Sagan speculate that they must be regulated to hover at an essentially fixed altitude. Thus, the organisms could well take the form of a gasbag or float bladder containing hydrogen gas-which the organism itself could produce by decomposing water...
Like ordinary light, the powerful coherent beam of the laser passes relatively unobstructed through transparent skin, giving up little of its energy in the form of heat. When it hits the colored dye particles beneath the surface of the skin, it is absorbed and converted into intense heat that instantaneously vaporizes the particles. The resulting plume of hot vapor bursts through the surface of the skin above the tattoo, charring and crusting it. In most of the 116 cases treated in the past three years at the university's laser laboratory, the seared areas of skin have healed rapidly...
Suntanned and Negro skins tended to absorb more heat energy because of their darker hues, and are more severely damaged and scarred over larger areas than lighter skins. Even when treating lighter skins, the researchers found, it is best to apply titanium dioxide ointment; the white ointment protects untattooed skin from damage...
Nehemiah's job took him to Sodom and the potash works at the southern tip of the Dead Sea. The potash works are still flourishing, but workers no longer live near Sodom. At the lowest point on earth, the heat is so intense that life is literally unbearable, even in the age of air-conditioning. So laborers live at the new city of Arad in the Northern Negev and commute to work...
