MOZART BREAKS THE LIGHT BARRIER
AN experiment involving the music of Mozart is said to be defying
one of the fundamental laws of physics: that nothing can travel
faster than light, writes Steve Connor.
Under laboratory conditions, scientists claim to have repeatedly
transmitted signals, including part of Mozart's 40th symphony, at
velocities far in excess of the speed of light.
The results have caused disbelief in the scientific community. If
true, the findings would violate Einstein's special theory of
relativity, which is a cornerstone of modern physics and our view of
the universe. They would also suggest that time travel may one day
be possible.
In the face of accusations that he has misinterpreted his own
results, Gunter Nimtz, professor of physics at the University of
Cologne, insists he has produced the first experimental evidence
which can only be explained by accepting faster-than-light travel.
Nimtz said last week: "Nobody seriously does not believe our
results, only our interpretation of them. They say they violate the
theory of special relativity. Most of my colleagues say this is
impossible."
His research involved splitting microwaves into two, sending one set
through the air and the other through a specially constructed
"tunnel barrier", a type of electronic filter. Those that went
through the barrier travelled 4.7 times faster than those passing
through the air at 670m mph, the speed of light.
The first time Nimtz performed the experiment he used simple
microwaves. But scientists in America criticised his method for
having no distinctive signal and therefore no way of knowing whether
the results were true.
So Nimtz encoded part of Mozart's 40th symphony in microwaves. He
said that the music was clearly recognisable after it had travelled
4.7 times faster than light and played a tape of it at a scientific
meeting earlier this year.
However, even those experts who believe time travel may one day be
possible remain sceptical.
Dr David Deutsch, a theoretical physicist from Oxford University,
said: "It must be a mistake. It would be as if someone was to say
that Australia wasn't there and all our apparent evidence that it was
there is just wrong, without any explanation of why."
Nimtz's experiment will be shown tomorrow night in a programme in
BBC2's Horizon series. On the same programme, Professor Stephen
Hawking, the Cambridge theoretical physicist, acknowledges that he
has shifted his opinion on time travel, although he still believes
there are problems. He says: "Time travel might be possible, but if
that is the case why haven't we been overrun by tourists from the
future?"

ISRAELI SCIENTISTS: STAR COLLISION CAUSED DINOSAUR EXTINCTION
JERUSALEM - Israeli scientists have a new theory on why the
dinosaurs became extinct: cosmic radiation that bombarded the Earth
following the collision of two neutron stars.
Physicists from the Space Research Institute at the Technion
University in Haifa theorize that the mass extinction 65 million
years ago was caused by the merging of twin stars near the Earth
inside the Milky Way galaxy.
This collision created a deadly wave of cosmic radiation that
destroyed the protective layers of the Earth's atmosphere, frying
vegetation and obliterating most animal life, the researchers say.
"The study is actually an attempt to solve the biggest murder case
in the history of life on Earth," said Arnon Dar, a physics professor
at the Technion, who with colleagues Nir Shaviv and Ari Lior has
submitted the theory for publication in the journal Science.
There have been several theories that astral radiation caused mass
extinctions.
David N. Schramm, an astrophysicist at the University of Chicago,
suggested last year that exploding stars called supernovas could
have caused another mass extinction - the most severe in Earth's
history - that killed 95% of all life 225 million years ago.
But Dar said supernovas could not have caused all six mass
extinctions that swept over the Earth in the last 650 million years -
one about every 100 million years.
"The rate of supernova explosion is not great enough to explain the
100 million year extinctions," Dar said Sunday. "But the merging of
neutron stars could be responsible."
Twin stars merge every day somewhere in the universe, producing
radiation in the form of gamma and cosmic rays that strike the
Earth's atmosphere. Usually, the stars are too far away to do any
damage and the radiation is harmlessly absorbed by the ozone layer.
But occasionally - about every 100 million years by Dar's estimate -
twin or binary stars collide close to Earth, producing devastating
effects.
Dar's theory is "a credible idea," Schramm said. "We do know there
is at least one known pair of neutron stars (near Earth) that are
spiraling closer together and will indeed collide."
But that collision, he said, is at least 100,000 years away.
The dinosaurs' demise has been the subject of hot debate in
scientific circles. Dar discounts the prevailing theory - supported
by Schramm - that an asteroid strike in Chicxulub in Mexico's Yucatan
was to blame.
Chicxulub is home to a crater more than 100 miles wide that could
have been formed by a blast with the explosive power of 100 to 300
megatons of TNT. The theory holds that the asteroid crash created a
huge explosion that cast enough dust and rock into the atmosphere to
block out the sun, turning the Earth cold and inhospitable to all but
the hardiest organisms.
Dar said this theory does not explain the great leap in biodiversity
following the mass extinctions. He contends the vast amount of
radiation produced by a neutron star collision explains why the
number of animal and plant species increased so quickly after mass
extinctions.
Those animals that survived - because of their hardiness or lack of
radioactive exposure - would have produced a greater number of
genetic mutations, Dar said.
Dar is now trying to determine which twin stars in the Earth's
vicinity are likely to collide and potentially bring on the next
mass extinction.
"In principle, we could predict almost precisely how long it will
take before they merge in this lethal way," he said.
Meanwhile, both Schramm and the Israeli scientists are continuing to
look for evidence of irradiated minerals in the Earth's geologic
layers, signs of either a supernova or neutron star collision.
"I think the real test will be if we can find these isotopic
anomalies," Schramm said. "Unless we find those, we're missing the
smoking gun."

ICE ON EARTH'S MOON? PENTAGON TO REPORT FINDINGS
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Ice has been discovered in the south pole region
of Earth's moon, according to NASA's analysis of data from a probe
sent there two years ago, sources said.
NASA's analysis of the terrain in that region of the moon led to the
conclusion by NASA scientists and Defense Department officials,
sources said. The Pentagon planned to announce the discovery at a
news conference Tuesday.
The probe, known as "Clementine," was sent to the moon in 1994 and
has been sending data back to scientists since. The program is funded
by the Pentagon's Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, and is
monitored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The presence of ice indicates to scientists that microbial life
forms on the moon might be more likely than previously thought, and
that it may be easier to sustain human colonies on the moon that once
believed.
The data was collected by "radio waves beamed from the Clementine
spacecraft into the polar areas" of the moon's surface. The data was
then transmitted back to NASA scientists on Earth.
The patch of ice is thought to be about 25 feet thick and roughly
the size of a small lake or pond.
One theory suggests the ice arrived as a comet -- which is mostly
ice -- that plowed into the moon at or near the south pole, an area
said to be roughly twice the size of Puerto Rico and which never sees
the sun. The water molecules could then have migrated south to
collect in a crater.
Six visits to the moon by Apollo spacecraft turned up no known
evidence of life there. Twelve men, all from the U.S., have walked
on the surface of the moon, which is about 245,000 miles from the
Earth.
Apollo 11 was the first to land there in 1969. Five subsequent
Apollo missions successfully landed there before the moon shots were
discontinued. The missions ended with Apollo 17.

ICE 'MOST LIKELY' THE STUFF IN MOON CRATER
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Scientists went public Tuesday with some of the
most exciting news about the moon in three decades -- ice "most
likely" exists at the moon's sun-deprived south pole.
Scientists considered several possibilities in their efforts to
confirm the substance, including an odd rock arrangement, but
decided that "ice is the most likely thing," Dr. Stewart Nozette of
the Lawrence Livermore Laboratories said at a Pentagon news
conference.
The government was formally reporting the news, which leaked out
Monday. The apparent discovery needs further confirmation, the
Pentagon said.
The primary significance of the news is the discovery of water,
which might support human life and provide the raw materials of
rocket fuel, said Dr. Paul Spudis of the Lunar and Planetary
Institute.
"Water is probably one of the most valuable strategic materials we
can find in the solar system," Spudis said.
Experts believe the ice may have arrived as a comet or comets that
smashed into the moon, which is made of dry rock and soil. The water
may then have migrated into a deep crater at the moon's darkest
part. Scientists are still studying the comets' track record for
clues.
"The answers are on the moon, and they're on the moon in this dark
area," Spudis said.
The patch of probable ice is thought to be about 25 feet thick and
the diameter of a small pond.
It was discovered by the probe "Clementine," which was sent to the
moon in 1994 and has been sending back data since. The data was
collected by radio waves beamed from the Clementine into the moon's
polar areas.
The Pentagon said the radio waves could distinguish ice, at least
tentatively, because rocks and soil scatter the waves while the
smooth surface of ice bounces them back in a coherent pattern.
The Clementine spacecraft is a $75 million program that uses the
moon as a target to test sensors and other devices for a U.S.
antimissile missile defense. The National Aeronautics and Space
Administration supplied a team of scientists to analyze information
from it.
Apollo spacecraft and U.S. astronauts visited the moon in a series
of missions from July 1969 to December 1972.

NASA LAUNCHES MARS PROBE
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - NASA launched a spacecraft to Mars early
Wednesday carrying the first-ever interplanetary rover, a
six-wheeled cart that will roam the frigid Martian surface in search
of rocks.
The Mars Pathfinder began its 310 million-mile journey atop an
unmanned rocket that lifted off at 1:58 a.m. It was the third try;
launch attempts earlier in the week were stymied by bad weather and
a computer failure.
Pathfinder is the second probe to be sent to Mars by NASA in the
past month.
The Global Surveyor took off on Nov. 7, the first of 10 U.S.
spacecraft to be sent to the Red Planet over the next decade in
hopes of determining whether life ever existed there. A Mars
spacecraft launched one week later by the Russians plummeted from
orbit, adding to scientists' anxiety over the flight of Pathfinder.
If all goes well, Pathfinder should beat the slower Global Surveyor
to Mars by two months, landing on July 4, 1997.
It would be the first time in 21 years that a spacecraft has landed
on Mars.
The $196 million Pathfinder, hailed by NASA as a new-wave bargain
spacecraft, will aim for an ancient flood plain strewn with rocks.
It will be a direct strike - no orbiting the planet first, a la the
Apollo moon landings or the Viking probes.
A parachute will slow Pathfinder as it plunges through the Martian
atmosphere. The parachute will drop away, and large air bags will
inflate to cushion the impact.
Several hours later, the petals on the spacecraft are to unfold. Two
ramps will pop out, and the 23-pound rover - named Sojourner - will
amble down to examine nearby rocks and beam back information about
their composition as well as color images.
NASA wanted to try this novel landing approach as practice for the
all-important robotic mission planned sometime in the next decade to
dig up Martian dirt and rocks - and return them to Earth.
Three-legged spacecraft like the twin Viking landers would never be
able to land safely on such rocky terrain, the type of place NASA
wants to ultimately scout for possible signs of life.
That strategy was reinforced in August when NASA scientists
announced they had found supposed evidence of primitive life in a
Mars meteorite. By coincidence, the rocks in Pathfinder's targeted
landing spot are about the same age as that prized 4-billion-year-old
meteorite.
NASA had until the end of December to launch Pathfinder. After that,
scientists would have had to wait until late 1998 or early 1999 when
Earth and Mars are back in the necessary alignment. That's when the
next Mars probes will be launched.

ALIENS BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST, SAYS COMIC-BOOK PUBLISHER
"Aliens are getting their worst PR since the 1950's," says comic-book
publisher Steve Stern. "Movies like Independence Day and Mars
Attacks, and TV shows like the X-Files and Dark Skies are fueling an
intense paranoia about ETs."
Stern is the writer/creator of the alien comic-book hero, Zen
Intergalactic Ninja. "After ten years of publication, the Zen
live-action movie is finally slated to begin production in early
'97," Stern said. "With more alien hate-fests on the horizon,
including Men in Black and Starship Troopers, it's imperative that
movies start to present a positive image of aliens."
He says that the concept that aliens are evil is a not-so-subtle form
of discrimination.
"Starting in the 50's, sci-fi flicks like Invasion of the Body
Snatchers and Earth vs. the Flying Saucers projected our fear of
communism onto aliens. Now that communism is no longer a threat,
this alien paranoia is clearly working on a deeper level. Read: if it
looks different from me, it has to be evil."
He points out that the original comic-book alien -- Superman -- is
depicted as human. "Even though he came from the planet Krypton,
Superman's creators choose to make him look like an Earthling.
Perhaps they felt that readers -- especially younger ones -- would
have been uncomfortable with an alien-looking hero."
Zen, on the other hand, is blue-skinned, and his only facial feature
is a set of large, dark eyes. "We need to become accustomed to
'lifeforms' that look different from us," Stern said, "and to accept
the idea that they can be just as good and heroic as we are.
"E.T. the Extraterrestrial was a case in point, and indicates that we
are willing to take aliens literally to heart -- but there hasn't
been a similar alien icon for decades. I hope that Zen can help fill
that void."

U.S. AIR FORCE MAY BE GOING SCI-FI
Plan has robot attack planes, killer laser beams
BY RICHARD SISK SPECIAL TO THE STAR
WASHINGTON-The U.S. Air Force could morph into the Space and Air
Force under a strategic plan to win the next centuries wars. The
sci-fi-like Space and Air Force would feature robot at tack planes,
killer laser beams and sophisticated weapons systems expected to be
able to hit any target anywhere on Earth. It also could win the
perennial fight with the other armed services for shrinking defence
dollars.
The flight service is on a path of change "from an air force in to an
air and space force on an evolutionary path to a space and air
force," Air Force Secretary Sheila Widnall said.
Widnall's comments came as she outlined the plan called "Global
Engagement: A Vision for the 21st Century Air Force."
Global Engagement foresees new generations of robot-operated unmanned
air vehicles for surveillance and pinpoint strikes at enemy forces,
together with orbiting spy satellites for weapons guidance and
communication, and airborne lasers to zap incoming ballistic
missiles. The new technology would "offer an alternative to the kind
of military operation that pits large numbers of young Americans
against an adversary in brute, force-on-force conflicts," the air
force plan said.
Defence analysts viewed that statement as a warm-up shot at the
army, navy and marines in preparation for next year's battle for
long-range budgets in the Quadrennial Defence Review by U.S.
Congress.
"All the services are positioning themselves to try to walk away from
that review with me biggest share of the money," said industry
consultant Loren Thompson.
The other services will weigh in shortly with their own plans, as
"everybody scrambles to in sure that they come up with a mission
justification for their weapons," said retired army Col. Dan Smith
at the Centre for Defence Information.
"The service rivalries are more intense now because, supposedly, me
defence budgets are going to be cut," Smith said. The current budget
range is $250 billion to $270 billion (U.S.), he said.
Widnall called the dominance of space envisioned under Global
Engagement as revolutionary for warfare "as the invention of
gunpowder or the Manhattan Project," which produced the first atomic
bomb.
The goal is "to build the ability to detect, track and eventually
target anything on the surface of the Earth," she said.
The air force has given a $1.1 billion contract to a joint venture of
Lockheed Martin, Boeing and the TRW Corp. to develop an attack laser
aircraft
The plane would be a modified Boeing 747 with a particle laser gun
mounted in the nose to destroy enemy ballistic missiles with
high-energy beams of light at ranges up to 480 kilo metres.
If the project is successful, the air force would buy seven more of
the laser aircraft after the year 2003 at a cost of another $6
billion.
But Thompson pointed to the enormous technical problems that must be
overcome in building a laser more powerful than any now in existence.

SCIENCE MINISTER OPENS THE FAMILY X-FILES
The Federal Science Minister, Mr McGauran, has revealed his mother
believed she once stumbled across evidence of a UFO landing.
Mr McGauran's decision to throw open the family X-Files yesterday
followed an admission that some of the 30 UFO reports received
annually by the CSIRO could not be explained.
"When she (Mary McGauran) was a young lass she walked out of the
door of her farm in the La Trobe Valley and swears there were
patterns in the grass which could not have been caused by humans or
animals" she told Melbourne radio station 3AW.
On Tuesday, in a written response to calls to open the files on UFO
sightings, he said some could not be explained.
"Many reports lack sufficient detail on which to base a scientific
investigation," he said.
A spokeswoman for Mr McGauran said the minister believed 98 per cent
of sightings could be explained. "But there are an odd 1 or 2 per
cent that really stump the experts", she said.

SPACE RADAR UNEARTHS SECRETS OF THE ANCIENT NILE
One of the many great mysteries of the Nile river may be solved with
the discovery of an ancient river channel buried under layers of
sand in the Sahara Desert in Africa.
The buried river channel was revealed in images taken by the
Spaceborne Imaging Radar C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar
(SIR-C/X-SAR) that flew twice on the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1994.
The radar images were processed at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
(JPL), Pasadena, CA, and the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD).
"One of the things this discovery helps us examine is the origin of
what's called the Great Bend of the Nile," said Dr. Bob Stern, a
SIR-C science team member at UTD. "The Nile generally flows due
north, but in the Sudan, it makes a huge, looping bend that is really
remarkable because the river is flowing through the Sahara Desert,
the largest, driest desert on the face of the Earth. There must be a
very good reason for the river to make this great bend, otherwise we
would expect it to flow straight to the Mediterranean Sea." Instead,
it bends southwestwards and wanders through the Sahara for another
200 miles before resuming its northward course.
"The discovery of the river channel shows us that probably sometime
between 10,000 and 1,000,000 years ago, the Nile was forced to
abandon its bed and take up a new course to the south. This buried
channel proves that this region has been tectonically active and
shows us how this activity has forced the river to change its
course," Stern said. "Understanding what controls the course of the
Nile is a critical part of understanding Nile history and predicting
Nile behavior, which is important because the river is essential to
millions of people in Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia."
A scientific paper on the discovery written by Stern and co-authored
with UTD geologist Dr. Mohamed Gamal Abdelsalam appears in the Dec.
6 issue of Science magazine. The discovery grew out of research that
the scientists have been doing on plate tectonics and the formation
of a "supercontinent" more than 600 million years ago.
"Our original experiment involved studying ancient structures in
Precambrian rocks that formed where two supercontinents collided
hundreds of millions of years ago. In the course of our study, we
became interested in how these structures influenced the course of
the Nile," explained Stern.
It was the tantalizing radar images of the area hidden beneath the
sands of the Sahara that turned the scientists' work in a new
direction.
"This discovery wouldn't have happened without SIR-C/X-SAR imagery.
Our work in northeast Africa would have been limited to what we could
see on the ground or could be seen in satellite photographs. The
radar is much more efficient in getting information from these sand
covered areas because the radar waves are able to penetrate the sand.
SIR-C/X-SAR imagery has revealed a huge piece of the Earth's surface
-- an area that's never been seriously explored before," Stern
noted.
"This is one of the most exciting discoveries from the SIR-C/X-SAR
mission to date. I expect we'll continue to be surprised by
fascinating results like these as the science team continues to
analyze the radar data," said Dr. Diane Evans, the SIR-C project
scientist at JPL. "More and more we are finding the radar data have
applications to answer questions about the Earth that were not
originally anticipated."
SIR-C/X-SAR is a joint mission of the United States, German and
Italian space agencies. JPL built and manages the SIR-C portion of
the mission for NASA's Office of Mission to Planet Earth, a program
to study the Earth's land, oceans, atmosphere and life as a total,
integrated system.

New theory revises stars' ages
NEW YORK - The universe's most ancient stars could be lying about
their ages.
A new theory proposes that globular clusters - dense balls of stars
thought to be the oldest in the universe - might be up to 3 billion
years younger than they're now thought to be.
If it is proved correct, the theory could help scientists solve one
of astronomy's oddest conundrums: the universe appears younger than
its oldest stars.
One way out of that mess would be to demonstrate that the stars
aren't really so old after all.
NASA astrophysicist Allen Sweigart may have done that with a theory
that stars in the clusters make themselves look older by dredging
helium gas up from their superhot interiors.
''It may have an important effect,'' said Robert Kraft, an
astronomer at the University of California, Santa Cruz. ''This is one
more factor that's got to go into the discussion of the ages of
globular clusters.''
Pulling the stars down by 3 billion years won't completely solve the
apparent generation gap. Current estimates put the most ancient
stars at about 14 billion years old and the universe's age at 9
billion years.
But that's not the whole picture, said University of Chicago
astronomer David Schramm. Scientists are still so uncertain about
both age estimates that the 5-billion-year discrepancy between them
could eventually be explained by any number of things. Sweigart's
proposal is only one of them.
Even Sweigart said he doesn't want to push the age issue too hard.
It's just one possible implication of the helium-mixing process he
describes.
''I don't want to claim that my models have proven or shown that the
globular clusters are younger,'' Sweigart said. ''It is still a
hypothesis that needs to be much more carefully examined and tested
against the observations.''
Sweigart's theory, to be summarized in the Jan. 1 issue of
Astrophysical Journal Letters, shows how some stars in the globular
clusters could be mixing themselves up, moving large amounts of
superhot helium from their cores to their outer shells. Through a
complex series of steps, that could make the oldest stars look older
than they really are.
Most experts consider Sweigart's theory an excellent explanation of
some unusual aspects of how stars work. But they're less
enthusiastic about his suggestion that it could also make the
globular clusters appear younger.
''It will have a huge impact in certain circles. I think in the age
of the universe it won't,'' said Michael Bolte, an astronomy
professor at UC-Santa Cruz.

CRATER OF WATER BRINGS CHEER
Author/Reporter: Graeme O'Neil
DOES a cache of cold gold, hidden in the base of an ancient impact
crater, await the next human visitors to the Moon?
US space scientists are excited by this week's discovery, of signs
of a large water ice deposit in a crater at the Moon's South Pole.
If the Clementine spacecraft has discovered water, it would
literally be worth its weight in gold for US plans to establish a
permanent base on the Moon.
The image on this page shows the crater, as revealed by the joint
NASA-US military lunar-orbiting probe's radar imaging device, which
can "see" through the darkness to produce detailed images of the
lunar terrain - and even reveal something of its composition.
As it orbited the Moon for two months, the spacecraft obtained 1.8
million images of the lunar surface that will be vital to selecting
landing sites for future manned missions to the Moon - as well as
the site for a lunar base.
If it can be confirmed, the discovery of a large reserve of water
ice in the crater, possibly the legacy of a comet impact hundreds of
millions of years ago, would carve millions off the cost of
establishing a lunar base.
Emeritus Professor Ron Brown of Monash University, says that if
there is water on the Moon it exists against the odds.
Prof. Brown says that on the sunward face of the Moon intense solar
radiation and near vacuum would turn ice directly into water vapor.
Intense ultra-violet radiation would cause the vapor to dissociate
into its constituent hydrogen and oxygen atoms, which would then
drift off into space because of the Moon's low gravity.
The only place water ice could exist on the Moon was in permanent
darkness and at extremely low temperatures - conditions that would
exist in the polar crater observed by the Clementine spacecraft.
The presence of water on the Moon would reduce the huge cost of
ferrying drinking water into space for a lunar colony, Prof Brown
said.
"Water is a very bulky and costly commodity if you have to lug it
into space," he said.
"The primary virtue of discovering water on the Moon's surface is
that, apart from providing drinking water for a lunar colony, it
could also be electrolysed to produce oxygen and hydrogen.
"The colony needs oxygen to breathe, but the hydrogen is really only
a by-product."
