Most of the apparatus is hidden ten feet below the ground. A linear accelerator will start the process by firing electrons into orbit inside a 240 ft. diameter doughnut." Attached to the hollow tube are huge electro-magnets which will further speed up the particles in radio frequency pulses. After eight milli-seconds and 10,000 turns, the high-energy electrons will be directed in bursts at targets in the experimental hall...
Another poor analogy is the application of linearity to social systems by assuming that effect is proportional to cause. It may be accurate in most of science, Purcell said, but it is "wildly untrue in human affairs. Any historical event is utterly non-linear, the result of a large number of causes." Thus, he said, you cannot assign weights to various causes...
...warm and cool colors in Monet's landscape of Montages, owned by Mr. Palmer. In this work of 1888 typically vibrant color enlivens its unconventional, simple composition. There is the stunning Cezanne of the boy in a red vest that Mr. Rockefeller owns, impressive for its fusion of linear clarity and almost overwhelming structural solidity. I was most intrigued by Picasso's 1916 still life that has none of the poster-like flatness of his other works from this period...
...quoted ambition: "I want to paint things that knock holes in walls." But even then he was also painting Midwestern wheatland themes, and he soon changed his politics, his subject matter and his style of painting. Then came the Joe Jones of the more familiar style-the linear clarity that has something of a Japanese feeling to it. Jones, a highly articulate fellow, says that he is "really interested in creating space, not objects...
...Latimer), by coating thin nickel foil with a circular film of artificial californium (element 98) only one-tenth of an inch in diameter. Placed in a container filled with helium gas, this tiny target was bombarded by a beam of boron nuclei from the lab's heavy-ion linear accelerator. Most of the boron bullets missed, but a few scored a bull's-eye on californium nuclei. Atoms formed by the combination of californium and boron bounced off the nickel foil, were slowed by collision with helium atoms and were picked up by a copper conveyor belt...
