...speaks English with a Scottish burr), became interested, worked out a strange but correct theory. When gamma rays pass through water, they hit electrons, and the impact bumps the electrons up to high velocities. The electrons do not move faster than light in a vacuum (186,000 m.p.sec., the Einsteinian speed limit of the universe), but they do move faster than light in water, 140,000 m.p.sec. For exceeding the local speed limit, the electrons are "fined" a part of their energy, which shows up as Cherenkov radiation. Something analogous happens when a ship moves...
...Democratic vote than was true of the national scene. Explains Collingwood, defensively: "After all, Univac is only human-that is, it can only make predictions based on the material that humans feed into it." Collingwood asked an attendant mathematician if he could explain what went wrong, and got the Einsteinian answer: "It may be in the taxability of the K factor...
