With this data from the highest altitude to which he had ever sent instruments, Dr. Millikan reported last week that cosmic ray intensity increases to a maximum at 66,000 ft., then falls off 22% on the way up to 92,000 ft. This contradicts the generally accepted finding of...
It is possible that, after the customary delay, some startling new scientific information may be forthcoming from last week's adventure. But the record of eight stratosphere flights by man makes it seem unlikely. Whether undertaken for science or as record-breaking stunts they were for the most part...
"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...
As soon as he made his readings of cosmic rays above Mexico, he dashed for a north-bound train. At Kansas City he said good-by to Mrs. Compton and Alan. They proceded to Chicago & home, he to Winnipeg. He wants to get to Chesterfield Inlet north of Churchill in...
*Last week unmanned balloons sent up 17½ mi. (a record) by Germany's Professor Erich Regener brought down evidence limiting Piccard's observation that the intensity of cosmic rays increases steadily with altitude. Above 39,000 ft. the intensity tends to become constant.
