Last spring, British Mathematicians Raymond A. Lyttleton and Hermann Bondi attributed the expansion of the universe to the presence of thin hydrogen gas between the galaxies, suggesting that the hydrogen atoms may have slight positive charges and therefore push one another apart by electrostatic repulsion (TIME, June 22). A still-later theory comes from Professors Thomas Gold of Cornell and Fred Hoyle of Cambridge. England. Gold and Hoyle also think that the mysterious force comes from intergalactic hydrogen gas, but they argue that its urge to expand comes from high temperature, not from electrical repulsion...
Other possible recipients of this year's physics prize are James Van Allen of Iowa State University, and Hermann Oberth, of Germany. Van Allen developed the cosmic ray detection apparatus used in Explorer I, the first American artificial satellite, while Oberth's work is in the field of rocketry...
...that as bombs grow older, their metal tends to polarize with the earth, cancel out fine magnetic measurements. Hartley must know that a big, blocky bomb like the 4,000-lb. Satan may wind up nose down at a depth of 60 ft., while a smaller, more rounded "Hermann" (named for Goring) usually lies at 20 ft. or less, and nose up because of a retarder ring around its nose...
...entire literature. Of the two chorale-preludes, Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier presented a constant parade of startling dissonances. Later periods were represented by Mozart's charming, if second-drawer, Sonata No. 15 in C; Brahms' rich-textured Fugue in A Flat Minor (a most rare key); and Hermann Schroeder's chorale-prelude Schoenster Herr Jesu...
Last week cosmologists were arguing a new theory, originated by Mathematical Physicist Raymond A. Lyttleton of Cambridge University and elaborated with the help of Mathematician Hermann Bondi of the University of London...
