Your little magazine (I mean little in format) seems to be the only ray of sanity in a very dark world. I thank you and congratulate...
...Nothing has happened which alters in any essential way the views expressed in my last comprehensive report," said Dr. Millikan stridently. What had happened included: Dr. Millikan's sending electroscopes by airplane to measure cosmic rays over Peru, the U. S., Canada; Dr. Compton's journeying with an electroscope around the Pacific and over North America from Mexico City to north of Churchill on Hudson Bay; two young men killed carrying a cosmic ray scope up Mt. McKinley; Professor Auguste Piccard & aide ballooning into the stratosphere ten miles above Switzerland; Professor Erich Regener sending a free balloon with...
Laureate Millikan: "No controversy!" Pulsating Universe. While cheerful Professor Albert Einstein steamed through the Panama Canal last week on his way to California Institute of Technology, Caltech's optimistic cosmologists were at Atlantic City-Dr. Millikan fighting for his cosmic ray theory (see above). Dr. Richard Chace Tolman presenting a reasonable picture of a pulsating universe. It is true, reasoned Dr. Tolman, that the stars are blazing into heat & light, that as far as we can see the universe is expanding, and some eon may become dull chaos, as the Cambridge physicists reason. But, if we use Einsteinian concepts...
...Langmuir's work which earned the award was not confined to 1932. And ready to dispute such a title would be the friends of Dr. Arthur Holly Compton. 1927 Nobel Prize winner, who traveled 50,000 mi. in 1932 researching the cosmic ray...
When the x-rays strike the copper plate they pass through the submicroscopic lattice which the copper atoms form, cast a fencelike shadow upon the screen. When Dr. Lark-Horovitz adds energy to the copper plate by heating it, electrons jump from one energy level to another in the copper atoms, and the "pickets" in the x-ray picture shift a perceptible distance. Dr. Lark-Horovitz calculates the intra-atomic movements at one 200,000,000th part of an inch...
