After his friend Steiner, an intellectual and would-be writer, murders his children and commits suicide, Marcello abandons his former ambitions and assumes the role...
Astronomy has been more successful in predicting the probable origin of plants, Gamow said. Working independently, Kant and Laplace formulated a "nebular hypothesis." According to this theory, matter with very high angular momentum formed into a ring around the sun. Subsequently, it condensed into the planets...
