In a study of 34 victims of emphysema- a swelling and rupture of the lung's tiny air sacs that can prove disabling or even fatal-the doctors discovered that 100% of the patients smoked, and that they smoked an average of twice as many "pack years" (packs...
...Archimedes. The kind of science that DuBridge and Caltech stand for is as old as Archimedes, but for the U.S., it has come into its own only within the last generation. It was not until 1907 that an American scientist (Physicist Albert A. Michelson) won the Nobel Prize. It was not until 16 years later that DuBridge's great predecessor, Robert A. Millikan, became the second American to win one in physics. Since then, U.S. science has accumulated...
...Revolution? On the answer to this question hang enormous issues. Physicists are already comparing the neutrino hunt with the igth century hunt for the "celestial ether," which was then considered necessary to carry waves of light through the vacuum of space. When the Michelson-Morley experiment (reported in 1887) proved that the ether does not exist, physics was thrown into confusion and had to be rescued painfully by Einstein's relativity...
