The significance of the overthrow of parity conservation does not require considerable grounding in physics or mathematics to appreciate. I disagree with Mr. Crichton's conclusions concerning the place of parity at the Cambridge High Tables. (CRIMSON Bookshelf, Thursday, Oct. 9.)
The concept of parity is quite straight forward. A right handed glove viewed in a mirror appears as a left handed glove and vice versa. The act of looking into the mirror is the essence of the idea of parity. Parity conservation implies that physical laws do not depend upon...
Parity conservation is obvious on a macroscopic level and has been verified on an atomic level. Physicists tacitly assumed that parity conservation also held on the subatomic level. In 1957 an experiment was performed which showed that parity was not conserved on the subatomic level. (The electrons emerging from the...
It is clear that these observations are by no means limited to the physical sciences. The introduction of Keynesian economics represents an exactly similar situation. A key aspect of Keynesian theories is that a classical economics based on truisms relevant to the individual (thrift, savings, income greater than expenses) does...
New York City sentimentalists raised such a howl last week that authorities did not know how to get rid of the birds without losing the pigeon-fancier vote. To trap and kill the birds, they would probably need an amendment to the state conservation law. A few do-it-yourselfers...
