Instead of offering his episcopal ring to be kissed, Cushing squared off, aimed a mock right hook at the President's solar plexus and bellowed: "Hi, Jack...
...Robert Frosch, director of the Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency, is sure by now that the present level of solar activity cannot confuse even the earlier satellites into giving a false alarm. But this is the sun's periodic quiet period; when it goes back into its active condition in a few years, blossoms with sunspots and flares and bombards the earth with streams of high-energy particles, the satellites may send in some puzzling reports. "There are still a number of ambiguities that we know nothing about," says Frosch...
What would happen to the solar system if half of the universe disappeared? From Newton to Einstein, most experts have agreed that nothing much would happen except that the sky would have fewer stars. But now British Cosmologist Fred Hoyle says that the sun would shine 100 times brighter and burn the earth to a crisp...
...masses, and therefore the gravity, of the sun and the earth are partly due to each other, partly to more distant objects such as the stars and galaxies. According to Hoyle, if the universe were to be cut in half, local solar-system gravitation would double, drawing the earth closer to the sun. The pressure in the sun's center would increase, thus raising its temperature, its generation of energy and its brightness. Before being seared into a lump of charcoal, a man on earth would find his weight increasing from...
