Worlds without end

Neither do we want many kinds of furnaces. Only our threefold furnace affords facilities for properly regulating the heat of the fire. Therefore do not let any babbling sophist induce you to set up a great variety of expensive furnaces. Our furnace is cheap, our fire is cheap, and our material is cheap - and he who has the material will also find a furnace in which to prepare it, just as he who has flour will not be at a loss for an oven in which it may be baked. It is unnecessary to write a special book concerning this part of the subject. You cannot go wrong, so long as you observe the proper degree of heat, which holds a middle place between hot and cold. If you discover this, you are in possession of the secret, and can practise the Art, for which the CREATOR of all nature be praised world without end. AMEN. [Pg.82]

This midsummer dawn is so early that the world seems barely to have slept. I pull on my gloves, for my hands are still cold the leather presses the Jason ring into my skin as if Louis himself touches me. Even the horses, dozing in the chill mist, hang their heads as if exhausted, with none of the scuffles and nips that horses do, as men do, to find out who is master this morning. It is sixty miles to Pontefract. We will ride it in one of these days, almost without end, that are bringing me so swiftly to my own. [Pg.48]

So now there will be armament and rearmament on aU sides until someday one or the other side will say Rather an end in horror than horror without end.. . . They will also say Listen, if we wait longer, we shall be the weaker side instead of the stronger. Then comes the catastrophe.. . . The twilight of the gods of the bourgeois world is in prospect. [Pg.126]

Thus, erbium minus ytterbium , minus scandium. ... Could erbium be finally considered to be free of impurities However, in 1879 Nilson s compatriot P. Gleve showed that erbium without ytterbium and scandium was still a mixture Cleve splitted it into three components erbium itself, holmium , and thulium. Holmium was named after the old name of Stockholm and thulium in honour of the legendary country of Thule at the world s end. And it was no less difficult to isolate thulium than to reach the far and mysterious Thule. [Pg.130]

Some of the technologies deal with systems on the micrometer range and not on the nanometer range (1-100 nm). In fact, distance scales used in science go to much smaller than nanometers and much larger than meters. All the experience in the macroscopic world suggests that matter is continuous. This, however, leads to a paradox because if matter were a continuum, it could be cut into smaller and smaller pieces without end. If one were able to keep cutting a piece of matter in two, each of those pieces into two, and so on ad infinitum, one could, at least in principle, cut it out of existence into pieces of nothing that could not be reassembled. [Pg.79]

We can find burrow-holes in the fossil mats, but we can t find evidence of scars or notches on the thick shells and hides of the first Cambrian animals. It seems that for a time, everyone was a vegetarian and fed off the mats, and it was a world without scars. That would end soon enough. [Pg.187]

When Europe exploded into war in 1914, scientists largely abandoned their studies to go to the front. Marie Curie, with her daughter Irene, then 17 years old. organized medical units equipped with X-ray machinery. These were used to locate foreign metallic objects in wounded soldiers. Many of the wounds were to the head French soldiers came out of the trenches without head protection because their government had decided that helmets looked too German. In November of 1918, the Curies celebrated the end of World War I France was victorious, and Marie s beloved Poland was free again. [Pg.517]

Fig. 1.5 Schematic representation of the evolution of life from its precursors, on the basis of the definition of life given by the authors. If bioenergetic mechanisms have developed via autonomous systems, the thermodynamic basis for the beginning of the archiving of information, and thus for a one-polymer world such as the RNA world , has been set up. Several models for this transition have been discussed. This phase of development is possibly the starting point for the process of Darwinian evolution (with reproduction, variation and heredity), but still without any separation between genotype and phenotype. According to the authors definition, life begins in exactly that moment when the genetic code comes into play, i.e., in the transition from a one-polymer world to a two-polymer world . The last phase, open-ended evolution, then follows. After Ruiz-Mirazo et al. (2004)...

You want guarantees Our London Charter doesn t say all statements have to be sworn. You want dates Everybody knows how far back this thing goes. Without the Haber-Bosch process, World War I would have ended in 1915 — there s your answer whose side they were on "... [Pg.70]

As the nineteenth century ended, the larger cities such as New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia were transformed into assembly plant and manufacturing centers. Then after World War I the growth of office buildings in the cities occurred and this forced workers into the suburbs. They used cars to commute to work and by 1940 about 15 million Americans lived in communities without public transportation. [Pg.150]

Methamphetamine was widely used by soldiers in World War II because its potent stimulant effects kept them awake and alert for longer periods of time and increased their physical endurance. One infamous user of methamphetamine during wartime was one of the most evil men of the twentieth century—Adolf Hitler. Hitler started receiving daily injections of methamphetamine from his personal physician Dr. T. Morrell in 1942, and it was reported he could not function without his daily doses. Hitler also took many other drugs (perhaps over two dozen), including Cola-Dalmann tablets that contained caffeine. Hitler also dispensed methamphetamine to his troops so they could fight for days on end without sleep or food and outlast the endurance of enemy troops. [Pg.28]
