Khrushchev's presence on Manhattan island is the surest possible insurance against hydrogen bomb attack on the city while he's here. The longer he stays the better, as far as I'm concerned...
...earth's corona, Astrophysicist Shklovsky reasons, is mostly hydrogen which came originally from the earth's oceans. Water vapor works its way up from the lower atmosphere. When it reaches about 60 miles, its molecules are broken into oxygen and hydrogen by solar radiation. The hydrogen, being lighter, tends to rise, and above about 1,000 miles it becomes the main constituent of the atmosphere. Some of its molecules get hot enough and move fast enough to reach escape velocity and leave the earth entirely. Moscow's Professor Shklovsky believes that enough hydrogen has escaped in this...
...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...
Degenerate Matter. Though seemingly incredible, these figures for the Companion have withstood all attacks, and astronomers, particularly Dr. Luyten, have since found many white dwarfs even smaller and denser. The current theory is that they are stars that have burned nearly all their hydrogen, turning it by nuclear fusion into helium and heavier elements. With the hydrogen gone, the star contracts. As its mass concentrates into a smaller volume, its gravitational field increases in power, eventually growing strong enough to compress the material near the star's center into "degenerate" matter whose electrons and nuclei have been pushed close...
...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...
