At week's end one of the highs, out in the Pacific, shifted a bit, and a welcome Arctic draft sneaked through the wall to break-at least temporarily-the dog days of July. August was yet to come...
...electrons by the radio wave is in the form of mass. As a result, each electron increases its mass 40,000 times, and has acquired about 20 billion electron volts (BEV) of energy by the time it reaches the far end of the copper tube. There, the extremely powerful stream of charged particles passes through a beam "switchyard," where giant electromagnets direct it into one or another of two target buildings, or split it between both...
