Feb. 26 Scientists discover key to secrets of the universe. Nine years investigation with world's largest radio - telescope: Sic British Scientists - led by Professor Martin Rye (42) - radio astronomers at the Mullard Observatory, Cambridge - are to announce to the World tonight that they have proof to explain one of the grantest mysteries of men - How the Universe Began'. The announcement is result of nine years probing deep into the heavens with world's most powerful radio-telescope. They state - 1) The Universe, of which we in cur solar system are but a tiny part, is expanding; 2) All matters in it - planets - suns - stars - huge galaxies - is rushing about into space at fantastic speed, leaving a hole in the middle; 3) There was a definite beginning. Some might interpret this as the biblical creation. 4) The Universe will not last for ever. it is changing with time, but it has existed so far for at least 10, 000 million years. The New Evidence points to the Universe having originated from a colossal explosion. One massive lump of matter - or several lumps packed tightly together - may well have blown up soattering fragments in all directions. These have evolved to become the stara and planets we see today. Until now many eminent scientists have adhered to the opposite view - the Universe they cay having been in a steady state. - Everlasting - as stars faded away - new ones were created - but the total matter in space - never varied - the mixture different - but the ingredients the same. this theory, which clashes with the Christian precept that the Universe has a definite life-span now appears false. The instrument isued in the hunt for the fundamental truth was a 50, 000 radio-telescope - whose aerials stradle several fields. Conversion of messages: The conversion of the Information provided by the sensitive radio receivers to provide accurate positions and intensities of radio stars is a tedious and complicated process, here, professor Martin Ryle is examining data recorded on puched paper tape. Observations recorder in this wat may be passed directly into Edsac, the large electronic computer of the University Mathematical Department, which carries out about a quarter of a million calculation in the Analysis of each set of observations
