...President is on a different wave-length than everyone else," he added...
During its scanning mode, the Harvard spectrometer can build up and store about 12 ultra-violet pictures of the whole sun each hour, recording the occurrence and spread of solar flares in every direction. However, it can scan only one wave-length at a time...
Using gamma radiation of an extraordinarly precise wave-length, the scientists have attempted to send the radiation through a distance sufficient to induce a gravitational change of wave length which Einstein's theory predicts. Until the experiment was suggested, the theory's only verification came from astronomical observations whose accuracy was not great enough to establish the principle beyond doubt...
Other Polaroid scientists soon joined him in the initial attacks upon theory. The first problem met was exactly what kind of device they wanted. What wave-length could best aid the biologists? What did the biologists want to find? Then there was the problem of how to make it, the core of which was the apparently insurmountable difficulty of designing the lens. Gray's work came at an opportune time, for at the beginning there were many doubts...
...Hubbard's voice just after the Second World War an American washing-machine company developed a supersonic vibrator that would dry clothes. Few of the machines were sold, however, because housewives complained that they "felt terrible around those things." However, after the company had changed its washing-machine's wave-length, users of its product felt "wonderful." "We're going to put one of those vibrators outside our offices," said the tape recorder," so people will feel wonderful when they...
