A cantankerous press must be suffered by those in authority in order to preserve freedom of expression and the right of the people to know...
...within the atomic nucleus. In carrying their work further to relate these two forces to a third -the strong force (which binds the atomic nucleus together)-they and other researchers determined that such unity requires a net loss of baryons when certain particles collide. In other words, the proton must decay into lighter subatomic fragments. By most physicists' reckonings, protons have a mean life of around 10,000 billion billion billion (10³-²) years (more than half of them will disintegrate in that time). Thus out of 10³-² protons, only one is likely to decay each...
...Vatican terms that meant that Küng, 51, must stop teaching Catholic theology at West Germany's University of Tubingen. It is the harshest action against any important scholar since the era before the liberalizing breezes of the Second Vatican Council, and one that was explicitly endorsed by Pope John Paul II.
