Gabrielse said that high-energy collisions that could be produced inside RHIC already occur—naturally—on the lunar surface. “There have been highly energetic cosmic rays colliding with the moon for a long time, and these sorts of things don’t seem to have happened,” Gabrielse said...
...Posner’s credit, Catastrophe does anticipate Gabrielse’s counter-argument. Posner writes that “a cosmic ray hitting a fixed target such as the moon will tend to scatter the nuclei that it hits, making it less likely that they will clump”—and thus produce strange matter—“than if the collision were head on,” as it would be inside RHIC. So, the fact that the moon has existed for 4.5 billion years without condensing into a tiny ball does not necessarily...
Hubble is to our generation what the moon missions were to our parents’. Its pictures have rewritten astronomy textbooks as surely as they have provided the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with its most recognizable mascot. Though Hubble can’t coin everlasting phrases like, “One small step for man…,” it still has the right stuff. And now its days are numbered...

As soon as she can find time, she plans to hike the whole Appalachian Mountains—or a portion sizable enough to be put on her résumé. Please give her a reason to compulsively check her email on Thursdays, when her work appears, by giving her feedback at sichen@fas.harvard.edu...
