...your cover artist purposely use the tennis ball as a symbol of Yang and Yin? Yang and Yin represent the Chinese conception of two opposite forces that create the universe. For example; day and night, right and wrong, black and white...
Just in case these homilies proved ineffective, Deputy Director of Party Propaganda Chou Yang was ready with another means of persuasion. "Some people," he told a press conference last week, "think ideological remolding is not a pleasant phrase, but people need to wash their brains as well as their faces...
...Theta Puzzle. Last summer two daring theorists, both of them Chinese, challenged parity. Professors Tsung Dao Lee of Columbia and Chen Ning Yang of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton were visiting Long Island's Brookhaven National Laboratory, whose pleasant summer climate and massive equipment attract vacationing physicists from all over the country. A leading topic at bull sessions, some of them held alfresco on Westhampton Beach, was the "tau-theta puzzle," which many leading physicists have been trying manfully to crack since...
Most physicists tried vainly to solve the tau-theta puzzle in a way that preserved parity. Showing less respect for scientific propriety, Drs. Lee and Yang suggested last summer at Brookhaven that perhaps the trouble lay not with the K mesons but with parity itself. If parity could be violated on occasions, the odd behavior of the K mesons would be easy to explain...
Chilled Cobalt. In brilliantly reasoned papers Lee and Yang showed that it should be possible to get along without parity. They also suggested ways to test experimentally whether parity is really a basic principle of nature. By this time the whole world of theoretical physics was watching Lee and Yang, and the best facilities in the U.S. were offered for testing their theory...
