...Tokyo's Sixth World Conference Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs went a 15-man Red Chinese delegation headed by veteran "Unionist" Liu Ning-yi. It was the kind of occasion suited to Peking's purposes: Japan relived its sorrowing memories on the 15th anniversary of the cloud over Hiroshima that killed more than 70,000 people in one flash. And to show Japan how lovable its big neighbor was, Red China's Premier Chou En-lai dropped in at a Swiss embassy reception in Peking to lecture hosts and guests on Red China's professed devotion...
...circular ridge of earth half a mile in circumference. Under the ridge is a circle of electromagnets weighing 4,000 tons, and inside the magnets runs a ring-shaped metal tube 7 in. wide and 3 in. high, which is pumped free of air. Bursts of protons (nuclei of hydrogen atoms) are shot into the tube by a smaller accelerator, and the magnets guide them around its half-mile circuit. Entering with 50 Mev (million electron-volts) of energy, the protons are grabbed by quickly shifting electrical forces and accelerated to their fantastic speeds...
...will be used primarily to explore the intimate nature of matter-a problem that seems to grow more baffling as its outermost fringes are explored. Brookhaven's 30-Bev protons will be shot against other protons, eventually in an 80-in. liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber, the world's largest, which is now being designed. Out of the proton-proton collision will come a weird menagerie of short-lived particles. Many of them will be new to science, and they are almost certain to have properties that no one can imagine today. AGS will reach a long way into...
Continuing his study of astronomical phenomena. Liller used the density of the planet Saturn, estimated at .72 the density of water. Astronomers have calculated, however, that even if the entire planet were made up only of hydrogen, the lightest element, gravitational attraction of atoms would bind them together so tightly that their density would be far greater than...
Hypothetical Wars. Tech Ops has built its reputation with the armed forces and other Government agencies as an outfit to consult for answers to the far-out problems of space travel, radiation, communications, etc. It has contracts for such theoretical tasks as simulating a hydrogen bomb blast in outer space, and figuring out a defense against missiles systems to be used ten or 20 years from now. Tech Ops also set up a computer system in Washington by which hypothetical wars can be fought and generals trained to fight them...
