even some physicists seem al
mixed UP on the subject.
It can be demonstrated easily
enough. No living thing. Of
course. ever has travelled at 99.s
per cent Of the speed of light
Various objects. however, have
done so and can be observed
Best known Of these is the mu
meson. It is part Of the energy
which binds together the nucleus
of an atom transformed mo-
mentarily into a material par
ticale according to the Einstein
law of the equivalence of mass
and energy.
These mu mesons are created
by cosmic-ray bombardment Of
atoms at the top of the earth's
atmosphere. an altitude of about
so kilometers. The normal life-
time of a mu meSon at sea level
is about a millionth OF a second.
1t requires about one ten
thousandth of a second. however,
for them to reach the earth's
sudface. moving at very close
to the speed Of light.
A lot of them do reach the
sarth's surface. They have lived
a hundred normal mu meson
lifetimes on the way down. but
when they get there they are
no older than when they started
At the end of the trip they still
can enjoy a normal life Of a
mlllionth Of a second.
Depends on Speed

regular orbits around the sun
and became minor planets. OF
these. more than 1000 now are
registered In astronomical cata-
logues. The total number may
approach a million. most OF
which cannot be detected.
Other pieces. presumably
smaller, did not get into solar
orbits. and approximately six
of them have crashed into the
earth. They caused great meteor
craters In Arizona. Mexico and
Australia.
Study Of these meteorites has
enabled DR.. Singer to calculate
the date Of the planetary colli-
sion. Presumably they came
from the center Of one Of the
smashed planets. Thrown into
space. they had no shielding
blanket Of atmosphere and were
bombarded by super-powerful
cosmic rays. These produced q
rare form Of the gas, helium,
which was trapped in the iron
molecules Of which the objects
were composed.
Evening star., 1957-04-26

nucleus transformed momentar-
lily into matter, which has q
lifetime Of only q little more
than q millionth Of q second.
This makes it possible to pro-
duce the reaction only on a
very small scale.
The particle is the so-called
mu meson. Recent reports from
Russia, the physicist said. are
that workers there have isolated
an energy-matter particle with
the properties Of a mu meson but
with a much longer life. II this
is true 1t presents a considerable
advance towards making the
process possible. but the Uni
'versity Of California workers
heade dby DR.. Luis w. Alvarez
remain quite sceptical Of the
possibilities.
Atom Smashers Among Stars
Titanic atom smashers among
the stars may be responsible for
a. major part Of the constant
rain Of highly penetrating cos
mic particles on the earth.
New light on these particles.
the so-called "cosmic rays" was
presented by a group Of Naval
Research Laboratory physicists.
Drs. M. M. Shapiro. B. Stiller and
F. w. ODell.
Some of these particles. DR..
Shapiro said, come in from outer
space with energies as great as
% billion eletron volts and at
a rate as great as % per square
meter per second near the mag
netic equator. They are detected
by instruments attached to rock
cts. especially near the rocket
base at White Sands. N. Mex.

The changing orbits of these
bodies. Adonis. Appollo and
Hermes, now can be observed.
DR.. E. j. Opik of Armagh OBJ
servatory Of Northern Ireland
and now visiting professor at the
University Of Maryland. told the
American Physical Society. whose
annual spring meetings opened
in the Sheraton-Park Hotel
today.
! Their velocities range from 8
to so miles second. They follow
regular orbits around the sun.
as the earth does. but eventually
they may cross the earth's orbit.
Born in Collision
The asteroids, said DR.. s. r.
Singer Of the University Of Mary
land. were produced by the COLI
sion of two planets between Mars
and Jupiter about 800 million
years ago. That was about the
beginning Of the carboniferous
ERA Of geological history, when
the earth's vegetation was ranker
than ever before or since and the
great coal measures were laid
down.
This was followed by an ice
age. The reason may well have
been. Dr.. Opik pointed out, the
enormous amount Of dust thrown
into the earth's atmosphere from
the planetary smash-up. On the
other hand. he said. later ice
ages. such as the one from which
the earth Is emerging at present.
have not been accompanied by
any unusual dustiness Of the at
mosphere.
Some Become Planes
The crash Of the two planets.
both presumably somewhat
smaller than earth, Mars OF
Venus. must have been one Of
the most spectacular events In
the history Of the solar system.
They were smashed into thou
sands Of fragments.
y Some OF these were pulled into
Evening star., 1957-04-26

OF light, which Is approximately
10000 miles q second, and then
come back to earth again, the
voyage win take a little more
than eight years but we will be
only a yea rolder when we get
back than when we started.
The folks we left behind win
be eight years older. En- route
we will weigh about 80 times
more than when we set out and
our size will be essentially zero.
When we step back on earth
again. however. we will at once
resume our normal dimensions
and weight. But throughout the
voyage we will not be aware Of
any change.
Only Common Sense
Anybody who denies this is
flying in the face Of plain COM
mon sense. it was said.
If we carried watches with us
on our eight-year voyage they
Evening star., 1957-04-26

would record only the passage
of a year. We always would
carry watches OF a sort, our own
time-regulated physiological re-
actions. such as heart beats.
Presumably these operate ac-
cording to physical laws. The
only possible objection arises
from a mystical and rather abb
surd assumption that they do
not.

Mr.. Smith said he thinks it would
be better to have no crossing of
any kind in the central area if
it can be avoided.
Legislation to authorize the
Constitution avenue bridge to
cross the lower downstream tip
of Roosevelt Island was blocked
in the closing hours of the 84th
Congress by objection to the
|drawbridge proviso of the bill.
This objection was registered
by Senator Gore, Democrat of
Tennessee. who threatened to
talk at length if the bill was
called up for action. The meas
ure previously had passed the
House.
Meanwhile, at the insistence
of Senator Gore. the Senate
Public Works Committee, of
which he is a member, has
called upon the District Com
missioners to make an investiga-
ton and report back to the COM
mittee on the feasibility and cost
Of developing some way of avoid
ing the use of all draw bridges.
The opening of these bridges,
he pointed out. is a continual
cause of long traffic delays to
