...hell night" initiation last April for the Omega Gamma Delta fraternity of Oceanside High School on Long Island. Not surprisingly, the bomb had a predictable effect on Ninth-Grader Michael Kalogris, then 14. He collapsed with what doctors at first feared was a ruptured spleen...
...thinkers, an Aquinas of the atomic era. For Teilhard was not only a scientist who studied the world's past. He was also a philosopher-mystic who saw man evolving toward the ultimate encounter with what Teilhard, ever groping for new ways to express ancient truth, called the "Omega point." Other men have called...
...Omega-Minus Signature. The unknown particle predicted by the eightfold way was named omega minus, and both CERN Laboratory in Geneva and Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island started elaborate campaigns to find it. Brookhaven's apparatus was built around the 33-bev (billion electron volt) Alternating Gradient Synchrotron, and it used a line of magnets and electrostatic separators 400 ft. long to isolate negative K-mesons. Ten of the K-mesons were allowed to enter Brookhaven's 80-in. liquid-hydrogen bubble chamber every 2½ seconds, and pictures were taken of the results. Two pictures...
...Omega-minus particles will never be made into rocket fuel or nuclear weapons. Their life (10 -10 sec., as predicted) is too short. But their discovery by a guiding theory has given an enormous boost to physics. Now that the eightfold way has been checked by this striking success, it can be used as a trusty tool in the search for more discoveries...
...were so short-lived that their age was measured in less than a billionth of a second, their very existence inferred from the erratic tracks they left in bubble and cloud chambers. Some left no tracks at all. The list proliferated to the sound of Greek letters-eta, rho, omega, lambda, sigma, xi-until it seemed that the alphabet might...
