...universe limitless, with no beginning and no end in either time or space? Or did it begin with a "Big Bang," the sudden expansion of a monstrous mass of hot hydrogen that spread out to form galaxies still receding from one another? Scientific dispute ranges between those two extremes and swirls around compromises and variations. New evidence seems to support first one theory, then another. Last week it was the Big Bang that got a boost-all because of some faint radio waves filtering gently down from...
...their own sweeping cosmological theory. Big Bang exponents, the Princeton scientists contend that the universe has had not a single bang but an infinite number. At undetermined intervals, they say, the universe contracts to a single mass, dissolving all its galaxies and the life they may carry into hot hydrogen. Then it expands once more...
...girl-meets-boy story is not as inextricably bound up with the hydrogen bomb as it seemed on first viewing. The two are not legitmately connected, since neither of the lovers was near Hiroshima when the bomb was dropped. The entire first part of the film revolves around Riva's efforts to create a recollection that isn't there...
...argument of the book, already tightly packed, cannot easily be reproduced in a few paragraphs. It starts with a sketch of the scientific revolution that produced the hydrogen bomb and the ballistic missile, and then the arms race. Was the source of the arms race the deep mutual suspicion that H. Stuart Hughes stressed in An Approach to Peace? (If this is the case, an American policy of unilateral disarmament intiatives to dispell suspicion would evidently be sound). No, Aron attributes the cold war "permanent alert" to the frank realization on both sides that there will be no interval, such...
...north of the equator, so Early Bird had to make a more complicated maneuver, turning sideways when it reached orbiting height. This left turn in space was accomplished nimbly, and ever since, Early Bird has kept itself on station by firing delicate burps of steam from its hydrogen-peroxide thrusters...
