...most profound questions that scientists can ask is: "How did the universe begin?" Last week British Radio-Astronomer A.C.B. Lovell of the University of Manchester predicted that within a few years the new giant radio telescopes, which enable man to probe far deeper into interstellar space than the biggest optical telescope, will provide some sort of an answer. Astronomer Lovell is director of the radio telescope at Jodrell Bank, England, whose massive, 250-ft. wire-dish antenna makes it the world's biggest...
...Radio Breakthrough. Radio astronomy, said Professor Lovell. promises to break this deadlock. Already the great radio telescopes can detect colliding galaxies (which give off powerful radio waves) at distances much greater than can be reached by an optical telescope. In a few years, improved vision should enable cosmographers to peer so far into space (or back into time) that they will be able to tell which kind of universe they are looking...
...radio telescopes find that such remote galaxies are no more closely crowded together than those nearer and more recent than the earth, the proponents of the steady state universe will be proved right.

Radio station WMCA began selling retail announcements on a half-hour program hitherto devoted to public service, sold all available time 48 hours in advance...
