...especially after Einstein went into full operations on January 15, the X-rays really have been "coming down the pipe," and from a wide spectra of sources...
...sticker on one office door says cryptically, "Black holes are out of sight," while a door in the basement carries the impressive label "Cosmic Dust, Meteorite, and Lunar Studies Lab." In another basement lab two scientists tinker with an elaborate device that, when finished, will heat molecules so their spectra at temperatures above 2500 degrees Centigrade (4500 Fahrenheit) can be observed. At that temperature even iron becomes a vapor, as it is in stars...
...backward, more or less), a 5-ft. 5-in., 200-lb. humanoid with black plastic arms and legs. Although his legs are motorized, he is chained and bolted to a table for security. The robot's brain is a computer, made partly from components cannibalized from an RCA Spectra 70. Plugged in and turned on, he can lecture to the entire class. He can also recognize students by their voices and, in his own peevish-sounding tones, can simultaneously question five different students wearing earphones and take their pushbutton replies...
...particles arranged themselves in conformity to magnetic imprints previously induced on the tape by electronic signals in the original recording and erasing processes. Thus the imprints could be seen with the naked eye and photographed. Bolt also noted that the signals had been analyzed by oscilloscope, fed through frequency spectra devices, and put into digital computers. Seventy minutes of the tape, which also contained a non-Watergate conversation between Nixon and John Ehrlichman, former Domestic Affairs Adviser, had been played back for listening...
