Extract from Introductory Chapter;- The "Spider tops," which are frequently sold in the streets of London, consist of a heavy little disc mounted on a spindle (Fig. XIV.). When the disc has been set spinning a small curved piece of metal is placed to touch the toe, and at once begins to slide round it, first the side (a) in the figure, and then the side (b), the motion continuing backwards and forwards till the top comes to rest. The fact is that the toe is magnetic, and this being the case it is easy to see that the rolling of the toe on the side of the metal produces the motion. From the book An Elementary Treatment of the Theory of Spinning Tops and Gyroscopic Motion.

Big Bertha Thing fact Anything but a fact, changes the face of twentieth century science. 1. No iron moons and planetary cores. 2. No red shift measure of speed. 3. No Patrick Moore star at 95% the speed of light. 4. Muons arrive on earth. 5. Relativity is like an imaginary number; useful but not real. 6. Einstein-Haas gives a field strength 1/10000th the electric field. 7. Wave particle duality is a field effect. 8. Schroedinger is an approximation. Who has the wit to check the fact?

They could hold more hearings if they wanted, but they could do that whether Nixon was pardoned or not.

All the scientists (we'll never see so many great minds in one place again, I'd wager), the resources, the cost, the way towns were bought out, the way new towns were put up overnight. And the lack of modern tech -- they had row after row of women doing a calculation and passing the number to the next one, since there were no computers. Fascinating story.
