...SPACE ODYSSEY. Director Stanley Kubrick's stunning film, which defines man's past and describes his future, uses some of the most fantastic visual effects in the history of motion pictures...
...dander up. Our poorly coordinated son could only walk up and down stairs holding on for dear life and had balance so poor that he couldn't lift up one foot without falling over. He spent a year each in nursery school and kindergarten, only taking up space and not knowing what was going on around him. He started the Doman-Delacato program, tailored to his needs, the summer after kindergarten. It's true, he may always have some problems, and we are aware of this. But when my husband and I watched him make his first Holy...
...gloomy days of January, time seems to drag. According to the Einstein theory of relativity, it actually does-in a minute amount that means little to anyone except a scientist. During its annual elliptical trip through space, the earth reaches its maximum speed each January, when it makes its closest approach to the sun. According to Einstein, the earth's increased velocity, along with its passage through a more intense part of the sun's gravitational field, causes terrestrial time to slow down in relation to time outside the solar system...
...practical proof of January slow time has never been possible. How can the slowing of time be measured if all the available timing devices on earth are similarly affected by relativity? Last summer, when the regularly beeping signals of pulsars were first detected coming from outer space, Queens College Physicist Banesh Hoffmann figured that they might supply an answer. Though their source was unknown, the precisely spaced radio pulses coming from light-years away seemed to be the distant clock needed to measure earth time. In a letter to Nature, Hoffmann suggested that the pulse rate of pulsars be taken...
...will convey passengers and their baggage from an outlying parking lot into the terminal itself. Airlines are spending $150 million altogether on automated ticket-writing equipment and on a joint reservation system. Between the two, a potential passenger could go to a supermarket, bank or hotel to determine plane space and buy a charge-card ticket, then be checked in by machine when he reaches the boarding gate...
