IT HAS BEEN SAIDthat the way to get rich quick is to many a rich woman. But that is not the only way as the scientific community discovered early in the 1950's. Its way was to romance a rich uncle.

摘要:

IN RECENT YEARSthe active frontiers of cosmology have widened and certain aspects of the subject are attracting more attention from physicists. Growing emphasis on physics has been stimulated by discovery of the universal black‐body radiation and by growing realization that the composition of the universe was once extremely complex.

摘要:

IT HAS OFTENbeen said that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow did not invent the mode of poetic expression known as Homeric hexameter. It has less frequently been said that Elvis Presley did not invent the pelvis, or even discover it, for that matter. Nevertheless he apparently gave it a new significance as a mode of expression. It appears likely that Longfellow made a similar contribution to hexameter. Although it is most improbable that Longfellow's favorite mode of expression will ever rival that of Presley, it has attracted a not inconsequential following among the relatively unsophisticated readers of American poetry (if a near redundancy may be pardoned).

摘要:

William Fairbank, William Hamilton and their collaborators at Stanford University are building an apparatus to produce a truly zero magnetic field. Since magnetic flux trapped in the hole in a superconducting cylinder is quantized, the Fairbank group expects to produce zero field inside a hollow superconducting shield by cooling the shield through its transition temperature in a field so small that the total flux passing through the shield is less than half a flux unit (less than2×10−7 gauss cm2). With the apparatus they plan to look for an electric dipole moment inHe3to see if time‐reversal invariance is violated.

摘要:

The asteroid Icarus (PHYSICS TODAY, October 1965, page 94) will be under close optical and radar scrutiny when it swings to within 6.36 million km of the earth on 14 and 15 June. The eccentricity of its orbit provides an opportunity to check the relativistic shift of its perihelion; its close approach to Mercury and then to the earth permits calculations of Mercury's mass relative to the earth's. Samuel Herrick of the University of California at Los Angeles has provided 1‐day and 2‐hour ephemerides to help locate Icarus, which will never be brighter than 13th magnitude.
