Afterwards, as though in defense of his professional reputation, Dr. Sirovich said: "Had I had any medication, such as caffein, sodium benzoate, nitroglycerine, adrenalin or oxygen, I perhaps could have helped...
...California Institute of Technology, pursuing his study of the cosmic ray, has illuminated new chapters in the celestial life of the hydrogen atom. Those infinitely tiny but infinitely active particles not only leap at each other explosively to form helium, but also by special jumps unite to form oxygen and nitrogen. The exact nature of the jump is not yet fully understood, but each different jump shoots off its own private signal, a ray of definite power...
...Bolivia and in California, showing that they come from a source so vast & remote that they strike the whole surface of the earth impartially. Theoretical calculations by Millikan out of Einstein, on the strength of the rays that would be shot forth if hydrogen atoms collided to form oxygen or nitrogen, perfectly checked the actual measurements made...
...suns and stars may not be the only scenes of activity. Helium, oxygen, nitrogen are common in the earth. Have they always existed as helium, oxygen, nitrogen; or have they been formed and are they being formed from the hydrogen which is so abundant in the soil? Is it possible that the terrific activity which goes on high overhead is taking place underfoot at the same time? It is, says Science...
This was the energy that Millikan demonstrated in the cosmic ray (TIME, March 26). But the helium-nitrogen activity seems to be just the opposite. When helium and nitrogen collide and explode, forming oxygen and hydrogen, energy appears to be stored rather than given off. From this have arisen arguments which support the theory of Prof. Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin-that the earth has been built up by the aggregation of smaller bodies such as meteorites or planetesimals, in which energy has been stored...
