Nuclear disintegration as brought about by the action of cosmic rays on dense materials has been the subject of long research at the New Research Laboratory. One of the purposes of the experiments is to determine the size of the nucleus of an atom of any particular substance. In the course of their investigation the scientists also hope to find out if there are any other cosmic ray particles in addition to high-speed electrons...
FROM the earliest plays of O'Neill there has been a recurrent struggle to find some essence in man and his universe beyond its tragic appearance: that naturalistic appearance which is the core of "The Moon in the Caribees" and "Desire Under the Eims." We may call it a cosmic yearning for a God of eternal meaning, but this philosophical and poetic urge has seemed always to be only half in earnest, at once passionately sought for and scornfully east aside.

...presented evidence that the universe is older than scientists have before calculated from studying the heavens as well as the huge star clouds or nebulae which are supposed to exist far out in space.

They are far out of the paths of the meteors that are visible from the earth...
...special camera and an able staff, he found in the Cloud more than 500 new variable stars and enough star clusters in its neighborhood to make its diameter seem 20,000 light years, double the previous estimate. His present objective is to locate, by measuring the amount of cosmic material in different directions and at different distances, the centre of the all-embracing universe - if such a centre exists...
