They all come together again after Israeli intelligence learns that Egypt is building a nuclear reactor in the western desert. The only solution, as the Israelis see it, is to obtain enough uranium to make their own bombs. The assignment is handed to Dickstein, whose cover is subsequently blown by Hassan. Enter Ros tov and his Muscovites, bent on thwarting Israel's campaign. Enter also the fedayeen, who aim to capture the stolen uranium and trumpet Israel's perfidy to the world. Dickstein is also dogged by his own mistrustful Mossad; his most useful ally turns...
...these four forces, Einstein concerned himself with only two--electromagnetism and gravity--because the others were simply beyond his experimental means. The two others, which exist on the sub-atomic level, were developed to resolve specific problems. Ernest Rutherford's celebrated early twentieth century experiments on nuclear density uncovered an empirical contradiction: all the protons (positively charged species) in a given atom are concentrated in its nucleus; since like charges repel one another, the nucleus should theoretically burst apart. So physicists coined the "strong" forces--those which specifically...
...sold much better in Germany than in the U.S. Glashow, who plans one day to write a book along the lines of his undergraduate course, finds this disturbing: "a better scientifically informed public would be far more capable of dealing with the scientific questions which now confront us--like nuclear energy." He has immense sympathy for the efforts of popularization made by those like his ex-brother-in-law ("It's all very incestuous, you know") Carl Sagan...
Under Question 3 the city would encourage the use of safe, renewable energy sources, as well as requesting state and federal governments not to license new nuclear power plants. Because nuclear power is not the best long-term resolution to the energy crisis, we support strong measures to develop alternatives...
