The Menzel-Boyce report unmasks it as mostly oxygen in bizarre atomic metamorphoses. The normal oxygen atom has eight orbital electrons. Menzel & Boyce proceeded to imagine oxygen atoms in such a state of excitation that electrons could skip freely from one orbit to another. Such excited atoms, according to quantum...

Anyone who has examined, with...
