...those that will fight the symptons of aging, that will push life expentancy back even further. Several illnesses associated with growing old are simply hormone deficiencies, independent completely of the passage of time. Much of aging is thought to be due to connective tissues losing their ability to transmit nutrients and wastes, thus starving and poisoning the cell simultaneously. Doctors are searching for a chemical formulation that will permit these tissues to function indefinitely...
...approximately the right distance to encounter a planet with life-supporting temperatures. If it picked up telltale radio signals, the probe might then bounce them back to advertise its presence, thereby producing an effect like the echoes of the 1920s. Finally, as its first message, the robot might transmit a picture of the area of the heavens from which it came...
...operators would be released from much of the threat of government intervention. To exercise any censorship, the government would have to attack the individual producers of programs: and the individual producers would be better protected under the First Amendment, "since they would only be using a regulated monopoly to transmit their information. An analogous case might be that of book publishers and the Post Office. Though never free from censorship, the publishing industry has remained freer of it than broadcasting ever was And so might cable TV under such a plan...
Hartman said the committee told him they would transmit his proposals to Kilbridge and that Kilbridge rejected them in late October...
...long way toward settling an argument currently raging among physicists. Several years ago, University of Maryland Physicist Joseph Weber astonished his colleagues with the announcement that he had detected gravity waves. Predicted by Einstein's 1916 general theory of relativity, such waves are the vehicles presumed to transmit gravitational energy across space. Critics have contended that Weber's detectors probably sensed some of the earth's own rumblings. But if sudden variations in gravity are now simultaneously picked up by a detector on the moon and a comparable device on earth, the skeptics may well be silenced...
