...scientific Laborites, a Dr. Robert Forgan and one Thomas Edward Groves, rose with a project to improve the atmosphere of the House of Commons by spraying Parliament with an atomized mixture of alcohol and oxygen. "We have had some highly successful tests in the committee rooms at St. Stephen's," said Dr. Forgan...
...forget to pull. Three hundred feet of altitude is the safe minimum in which the chute can be used, although jumps of less height are on record. The highest jump on record is one of better than 24,000 ft. At that height, the jumper had to have oxygen for breathing. The longest delayed jump was from a height of 11,000 ft. The experimenter pulled his rip cord at 2,000 ft. The cloth chute opened with a report that was heard for miles around. His body had been falling at 20 m. p. h., the maximum speed that...
...When the muscles are working so fast that they cannot get enough oxygen for their recovery process," Dr. Dill explained, "lactic acid accumulates in them and leaks out into the blood, producing or tending to produce exhaustion. We placed DeMar on our horizontal treadmill, geared to a speed of 9.3 kilometers an hour, and found that the amount of exhaust acid he had accumulated at the end of twenty minutes was almost negligible...
...seen only with the most powerful telescopes now in existence. It has been estimated that the sun's light at this farthest planet can hardly exceed that of moonlight, and under such a low temperature the nitrogen that might be in the air would be solid and the oxygen, if not solid, at least a dense liquid...
More than mere factors the mathematician asks for constant factors. There are not many fundamental ones of them known in the universe. By definition man has taken as standards the atomic weight of oxygen, the length of a meter, the weight of a cubic centimeter of water, and four other items. From observation he has figured very closely the velocity of light, the drag of gravity, absolute zero (459.4 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit) and six others. By deduction there are seven derived constants, like the mass of the hydrogen atom, or of the electron. Then there are six experimental constants...
