...have another prime reason: after ten years of secret planning, the U.S. is on the verge of developing a true "clean bomb," with enormous implications for both brush-fire war and big-war tactics. It is the neutron bomb, triggered by a fission process, topped off by a small hydrogen (fusion) explosion, designed to bombard enemy troops in a specific area with millions of fatal, invisible neutron "bullets." The neutron bomb does not damage property, scatters virtually no radioactive fallout, cannot be detected. Friendly troops could enter the area shortly after the bomb had been used. And although the Soviets...
Another new part of the center will contain a division for the study of cyrogenics, or low temperature physics. Here the CEA plans to build equipment for manfacturing liquid hydrogen, required for the synchrotron's operation...
...with inertial flywheels (which are inefficient on earth because of atmospheric friction), and control his heating during the −200° F. cold lunar nights. He could, adds Physicist Singer, extract water from rock; then from the water, by means of electrolysis, could come oxygen to sustain him, and hydrogen for fuels and chemical synthesis, and for growing food by hydroponics...
Bondi, are backers of the theory of continuous creation, which holds that matter is still being created. The newly created matter is generally believed to appear throughout space in the form of hydrogen atoms (one proton and one electron each), but Gold and Hoyle now think it may first appear as neutrons. Since neutrons are unstable, they break up almost immediately, yielding equal numbers of protons and electrons. This neutron decay releases so much energy that the resulting "cosmological material" has the temperature...
...that temperature, the hydrogen is hotter than the center of an exploding nuclear bomb. But the gas is spread so thin between the galaxies (fewer than ten atoms per cubic yard of space) that there is no appreciable heating effect on objects it surrounds. The heat merely makes it expand like any hot, unconfined gas; and since it fills the whole universe, the universe as a whole expands...
