LIGO will be 100 to 1,000 times as sensitive as existing gravity-wave detectors. That should be enough not only to confirm relativity but also to probe deeply into the most violent processes in the cosmos, including ) exploding supernovas, collisions between black holes, and "starquakes" on the semisolid surfaces of neutron stars. All of these phenomena are believed to send out characteristic bursts of gravity waves. Says Rochus Vogt, the Caltech physics professor who heads the joint M.I.T.-Caltech team that will build LIGO: "We are going to look at a whole new force as a transmitter of signals...
...good day, does its magic under the attentive view of the area's kids. If Manager Don Miller is in a good mood, those who are quick on their feet get to lick the dasher that he pulls out when a batch is finished. The rest of the semisolid mass then disappears for a day; it is flash-frozen at -10° F so that large ice crystals do not form, and then it is tempered for a few hours in a freezer 20° warmer. These days Ben and Jerry keep their machine going without letup, but often...
...doctors dosed him with antibiotics. Said Crucitti: "I do not hide that the situation is grave and the next few days will give us the answer, which we hope will be favorable." If there is no crisis, in several days the Pope will probably begin drinking liquids and eating semisolid food. Even before the colon is rejoined, he should start light exercise like walking and resume limited activities, though it may be six weeks or so before he will appear in public again. If healing is normal, as is usual in well-tended abdominal wounds without damage to major organs...
...patients aged 17 to 54 (five men, 21 women) was dosed with chlorpromazine, which increased the sedative effect of barbiturates. By the end of the first week they were sleeping 20 to 22 hours a day. After getting solid food during this week, they were switched to semisolid. They got five units of insulin half an hour before each meal. With the onset of deep sleep, patients were wakened three times a day for meals and toileting. By the tenth day they were put on intensive electroshock treatment-usually one treatment daily, and often receiving four or five shocks...
