Universe transparent

But if the atom is not the only face of matter, as we seem forced to admit, it is to our knowledge the atom that assumes the widest and most evolutive range of forms. Dark matter and its companion ectoplasm, the repulsive substrate of the Universe, transparent yet crammed with energy, that we venture to call vacuum (Casse 1993) or quintessence , are merely shapeless substrates before the atom in its wealth of forms, line tracery and beauty. And raised above all else, it is cathedrals of atoms that form the seat of life and consciousness, giving speech to matter. 

We can sample the energy density of radiation p(v, T) within a chamber at a fixed temperature T (essentially an oven or furnace) by opening a tiny transparent window in the chamber wall so as to let a little radiation out. The amount of radiation sampled must be very small so as not to disturb the equilibrium condition inside the chamber. When this is done at many different frequencies v, the blackbody spectrum is obtained. When the temperature is changed, the area under the spechal curve is greater or smaller and the curve is displaced on the frequency axis but its shape remains essentially the same. The chamber is called a blackbody because, from the point of view of an observer within the chamber, radiation lost through the aperture to the universe is perfectly absorbed the probability of a photon finding its way from the universe back through the aperture into the chamber is zero.

These universal concentrates are preferred if they can be used, because inventorying costs can be reduced it is not necessary to stock different concentrates for different colorants. In some performance polymers this concept is not appHcable because the universal vehicles have a negative effect on weathering, transparency, or processing performance. 

These restrictions do not apply to the less intense fluorescent tubes installed in the UVIS or MinUVIS (Fig. 6) or Universal UV lamps (Fig. 7). Black glass surrounds or screens serve as filters. Unfortunately account is often not taken of the fact that the transparency for short-wavelength UV light decreases appreciably with increasing duration of irradiation (Fig. 8). So it is advisable to change the filters of lamps intended for short-wavelength radiation at regular intervals. They can... 

And although om natural and personal detector, the retina, shows us a tranquil sky, with a light scatter of stars across it, striking only by its steadfast inaction, the new sky revealed by telescopes and satellites sensitive to invisible emissions is one of tempest. It is animated by the birth of clouds, the creative explosion of stars and the transition of the Universe from opacity to transparence. Human perception now contemplates regions once forbidden to it. 

The angular diameter of the observed patches is about 1°. Their (real) linear diameter can be estimated as ct, where c is the speed of light and t = 300 000 years is the time when the Universe became transparent. An angular diameter of 1° measured 14 billion years later means that the light rays remained parallel over the whole path and hence that the Universe is globally Euclidean. 

We have seen in previous sections that doping of insulahng hlms can be achieved through exposure to e.g., iodine gas. This practical and universal method can also be employed for the formahon of conducting layers on transparent and mechanically flexible polymeric substrates as discussed next. The example discussed here refers to conducting layers of 0-(BET-TTF)2Br-3H2O on a polycarbonate matrix (Mas-Torrent et al, 2001).

Attention was then turned to aromatic heterocyclic ladder polymers other than BBL. Due to the complexities in their synthesis, ladder polymers were not reported extensively in the literature at that time. A sample of polyfluoflavine (I) having an inherent viscosity in methanesulfonic acid of 2.5 was obtained from professor C. S. Marvel at the University of Arizona. The ladder polymer was prepared [5] from the A-B polycondensation of 2,3-dihydroxy-6,7-diamino-quinoxaline hydrochloride in PPA. Transparent blue sheets were observed on precipitation of this polymer from methanesulfonic acid, and when collected and dried, it formed gold films much like the color of the BBL films. It was felt at that time that all ladder polymers of sufficient molecular weight would form precipitated films. 

The actual time behaviour of F(t), shown in equation (4.1.41), depends on the choice of cr(r). This quantity F(t) could be presented in a more universal and transparent form in terms of the correlation length .
