This was just what meteormen were looking for to explain why some meteors apparently smite the earth, then vanish without a trace. If a contraterrene meteorite wandered into the solar system and met up with terrene matter, the respective sub-atomic charges would cancel out in a great burst of energy and both kinds of matter would vanish into nothing-literally nothing at all. This would explain why Soviet scientists with elaborate geophysical equipment could find no fragments of the great meteorite which smacked Central Siberia in 1908, although similar searches around Canyon Diablo, Arizona's famed meteorite crater...

This tool has been in the hands of science only a short time. Only in 1934 did Irene Curie* and her husband, Frédéric Joliot, first make ordinary elements such as iron and iodine radioactive so that they give off sub-atomic particles and gamma rays just as radium does. The invention of the cyclotron, Ernest Orlando Lawrence's great atom-smashing machine in California, simplified the manufacture of such elements so that they are now commonplace in physical laboratories. And in Copenhagen in 1935 O. Chiewitz and G. Hevesy first used such artificial radioactive elements...
