...import for all of physics: it not only laid down the basic principle of the laser some 40 years before the first such device was made but, more broadly, also advanced quantum theory. In addition, Einstein contributed significantly to the rebirth of cosmology, the study of the origin, history and shape of the universe. The Dutch astronomer Willem de Sitter and later the Russian scientist Alexander Friedmann had concluded that Einstein's equations pointed to an unstable universe ?possibly an expanding one. Because such a changing, dynamic universe was totally at odds with the popular picture of the heavens...

...should exist. Each man's chances of being, says Lem's Professor Kouska, is a "teragigamegamulticentillion-to-one shot." In physics, one chance in a centillion is considered an impossibility because there are fewer than a centillion seconds before the end of the universe. The origin of this fact is unclear. But who's counting...
...Kuala Lumpur, some 70 Americans and Soviets, as well as weather watchers from Asian and other countries, are beginning the first systematic profile of an annual monsoon cycle. Gathering data from an area of some 28 million sq. mi., the scientists have two lofty goals: to explore the origin of monsoon winds so they can be predicted with greater accuracy and to fit the role of monsoons into global weather patterns...
