...Simplest way to do this would be to build two conventional accelerators and make their particles collide, but all the machines known today shoot out so few particles that collisions between them would be too rare. Dr. Jones described a special accelerator that yields a beam so dense that it should cause many collisions with another beam. Better yet is Ohkawa's idea: an accelerator with two streams of particles circulating in opposite directions in the same circular path. Guided in a chainlike pattern by magnetic fields of alternating direction, the streams will cross each other many times...
...President Eisenhower's Declaration of In dependence on foreign policy [Nov. 12] appeals to me as the most profound expression of our generation for world peace. Granting the difficulties to be encountered before the dream can become a reality, here in the simplest, most direct language are expressed the basic principles on which any lasting world peace must rest...
...Hagerty called a press conference and spent 45 angry minutes taking apart "the most amazing document of falsehood that I have ever''seen." To any of some 80 newsmen who covered the President's trip, the column seemed a distorted mess that the simplest checking would have proved false. Apart from "absolutely and categorically" denying that Ike had suffered "the slightest relapse of any kind," Hagerty ticked off ten errors, obvious to all, in the sketchy framework on which Pearson rested his report. Samples...
...nothing but two strong-walled "bottles" tightly filled with a slow-burning explosive. When the first bottle fires, the rocket reaches the speed of 1,900 m.p.h. in six seconds. The second bottle takes over at 40,000 ft. and boosts the speed to 3,800 m.p.h. Only the simplest gear is needed for the launching, and the whole outfit costs less than the fins of one wellknown military rocket...
Weightlessness is easy to achieve on earth, but only for short intervals. The simplest way is to jump off something, even a chair. While the jumper is in free fall, his body as a whole is pulled by the earth's gravitation, but the parts of his body feel weightless. In the same way a person in a rapidly descending elevator feels his stomach rise. Actually it does rise: the elevator's fall has made the stomach lose weight, and the elastic tissues that support it have pulled it upward. When the elevator stops descending, gravity resumes control...
