Auto-Adultery. Women can play this game too, says Rostand. Parthenogenesis -self fertilization, by techniques such as supplying an additional nucleus from the mother, would permit a woman to have a child that is not the child of any male. She would accomplish a sort of "auto-adultery...
...biology develops there may come a time when a child can develop from an ovum whose nucleus has been removed and replaced by the nucleus of another individual. The genetic mother in this case would be the person who supplied the substitute nucleus. This changeling nucleus can come from a person of either sex. Thus if the father supplied the nucleus and also fertilized the ovum, he would be the child's only genetic parent...
...Greeks conceived the idea of the atom, and over the centuries it made the nature of matter seem a nice, simple thing. Modern physicists opened the nucleus of the atom, and the whirligig inside opened up a new and wonderful world. But man continues attempts to explain the universe as the harmony envisioned by the Greeks. Einstein thought he could, but never found a way to put his unified field theory to a test. Last week two new and impressive efforts toward harmony were announced in Manhattan and West Berlin. See SCIENCE, "Assumptions of Symmetry...
Today's physicists, bursting open the atom's nucleus to find myriad minute particles, are right back where it all started. Using giant accelerators such as the Berkeley bevatron, they can measure the results of events inside the nucleus, but not all of it makes sense. Where is harmony...
...with Hebe) begins with what they do see. A noted industrial researcher who was a leader in the wartime development of styrene for synthetic rubber, Grebe nevertheless has the same classical approach as Heisenberg. The secret of why the fundamental particles of matter somehow hold together in the atomic nucleus, he feels, must be less complicated than researchers believe. Reason: the rest of nature is "so beautiful and orderly and ultrasimple...
