...temperature that would make it start to boil when pressure was suddenly reduced. If high-energy particles (e.g., protons from a cyclotron) are shot into the ether at the right moment, lines of bubbles form on their trails, thus showing where the particles go and how they interact with atoms in the ether. When Inventor Glaser delivered his classic paper at a Washington physics convention. Physicist Luis Alvarez, associate director of the Radiation Lab, was not in the audience. He was at the White House delivering a strobo-scopic gadget he had invented to improve President Eisenhower's golf...
...herself emerges as the subject of her own fantasy, the elements of the tale fall tidily into place, leaving the cold sensation of hard and real characters existing only as shatterproof shells. Without evidence of conscious effort, Kulukundis has managed to sketch characters who develop as they interact with each other, not with the author's conception of them. And his fast and clean style complements the carefully woven story he tells...
...tormentors, however, are not facets of her personality but rather three historical crises in her life. Laurents, perhaps taking a cue from Jacqueline's dream in Rolland's novel Jean Christophe, has put them all on the same temporal plane--the present--so that the three can converse and interact with themselves, with Virginia, and with the other characters in the play. This dangerous gimmick, adumbrated in Death of a Salesman, works beautifully here and the result is highly effective theatre. It is a fine play, and some day will be generally recognized as such...
...gone a step further here. Virginia lives in the present. The three girl tormentors, however, are not facets of her personality but rather three historical stages of her life. Laurents has put them all on the same temporal plane--the present--so that the three can converse and interact with themselves, with Virginia, and with the other characters in the play. This dangerous gimmick, adumbrated in Miller's Death of a Salesman, works beautifully here and the result is highly effective theatre...
...Gold, half of the galaxies may be made of antimatter. They will be pushing their neighbors away by antigravity, but the light that comes from them will reveal nothing unusual about them. Only when galaxies of hostile type happen to collide in spite of anti-gravity will their matter interact violently. This may be happening. Several odd objects deep in space, e.g., the M 87 galaxy, seem to get large amounts of energy from an unknown source. These may be pairs of hostile galaxies, fighting vast duels of annihilation...
