...have any more injuries depletions--we're hurting already," Peckham said. "We're very thin in some weight classes. We've got to keep them healthy and teach them as much as possible, because the more knowledge and better condition they have, the more confidence they'll have...
...history, Bailyn frustrates the reader with his long explanations of his numerous charts and tables. Struggling through the first third of the book is worthwhile, however, as he goes on to display his unique ability to imagine and to sketch the lives of these British emigrants based on the thin documentation that remain...
...their report, two renowned Princeton scientists and a graduate student suggest that the pressure of electromagnetic radiation, emanating from dense "threads" of pure energy called cosmic strings, could have been responsible for making the universe lumpy. That pressure, the theory holds, pushed matter outward, piling it into thin shells and leaving huge voids in the cosmos. "If this theory is correct," says Astrophysicist Jeremiah Ostriker, the theory's co-author, "our views about cosmic-scale structure will be radically changed...
...Edward Witten, who was studying the properties of cosmic strings. "I was looking at ways you might be able to observe these very thin objects at cosmological distances," he recalls, "and I discovered that they could be superconductors -- they would conduct electric current forever." If that was true, he figured, electric currents as large as 100 quintillion (100 followed by 18 zeros) amperes could be induced in the strings. These currents could in turn produce intense magnetic fields around the strings, and particles, like electrons, caught in the fields would glow. In fact, a radio- telescope image of the center...
