particles is their large number.
The feeling Of most physicists
Is that there are far too many
for them all to be elementary.
II is q situation reminiscent
Of the time when each Of some
100 atoms. the chemical ele-
ments, apparently merited the
label elementary" Then q
detailed probing within these
atoms showed them all to be
combinations Of protons. neu-
irons and electrons. and re-
duced the number Of relevant
elementary particles to three.
Whether a detailed look at
the structure Of our present
elementary particles win dis
close q similar simplification
is one Of the profound and crit
teal unanswered questions Of
the modern physicist. Present
accelerators produce beams
whose energy is on the border
line of revealing something of
the internal structure Of these
particles. but their energy Is
still too low to permit such de-
tail to be resolved.
Giant accelerators whose
energies are some tens or per-
haps ultimately hundreds Of
Bev would be as welcome as
powerful glasses to the near
blind.
A Successful Theory?
Despite our ignorance Of the
answers to the most funda-
mental questions about the ele-
mentary particles. there is one
area in which our understand
ing seems satisfactory.
The electron and the light
wave and their mutual inter-
action are a system for which
the fusion Of quantum mechan-
les, relatively, and the theory
Of electric and magnetic fields,
into the new theory Of quantum
electrodynamicS. although GER
tainly incomplete. has produced
answers in Enthusiastically good
agreement with experiment.
Therefore it has been the model
for attempts to build theories
to describe the other elemen-
tary particles and their in
teractions.
It remains to be seen whether
this single successful theory
remains valid when higher
energy beams Of electrons and
light become available.
Laws Are Not Rigid
Our various laws Of physics
generally do not remain un-
altered as we seek to apply
them to ever more diverse phe-
nomena. We see them rather
as approximations accurate
and sufficient only in limited
domains. To preserve the law
Of conservation Of energy, first
heat and then matter had to
be considered forms of energy.
The epoch : making New
tonian laws Of motion are now
seen to be valid only for veloci-
ties much smaller than those Of
light. For the description Of
atomic particles conventional
mechanics is superseded by
quantum mechanics.
Physicists wonder whether
relatively and quantum me-
chanics will continue to be cor
rect descriptions Of nature as
we explore to smaller and
smaller distances. Do signals
always propagate at speeds
smaller than that Of light no
matter how small the interval?
Does the relation between en-
ergy and wavelength hold for
arbitrarily small wavelengths?
Even if we learn that our
present laws remain valid In
this new region, the knowledge
chat this is true would be OF
enormous significance.
It may be that our very ideas
Of space and time may not be
adequate for continually deeper

Opening leao: Five Of clubs.
One of the American players
opened the South hand with
one diamond. II you don't
care for this light opening bid,
I agree with you. However you
can't really hang a man for
this opening bid.
North naturally bids one
spade and South is happy to
make his minimum rebid Of
one no-trump. He thus shows
that he has a minimum open
ing bid. North now has a
problem. Should he bid three
spades or three diamonds?
Neither rebid can be criticized.
AS it happened North bid three
diamonds.
The biggest problem is now
South's. If he makes the
scientific" bid of three hearts
he will tell the whole world
that he has no club stopper.
South cannot know that North
has completely solid spades and
that four spades is therefore a
fine contract. From South's
point of view it is probable that
the hand has to be played at
three no-trump, in which case
there is no advantage in telling
the opponents how to defend.
Might Have Worked
South's bid of three no-trump
might have worked. Exchange
the EaSt-West hands and the
normal opening lead would be
a heart. South would take the
first ii tricks. Even with the
long club hand on lead, it was
unlucky that West had as
many as five clubs. If the suit
had broken 4-3 South would
have make nine tricks.
Perhaps another lesson we
can learn from a world cham
Ipionship is that neither mem
Der of the partnership re-
preached the other for the poor
result. They both knew that
flour spades could have been
made. They both sighed SYM
Ipathetically and went on to the
next hand.
Incidentally if you're won
ldering how the hand was
played, West led the five of
clubs. (The Neapolitans often
lead their lowest card rather
than fourth best.) East won
the first trick with the 10 OF
clubs and returned the king.
West overlook with the ace
of clubs and ran the rest of
his long suit, defeating the
contract.
When the Italians held the
North-SOuth cards in the other
room they got to four spades
without any trouble. Good for
them. They bid and played
like champions, and they de-
served to win.
