94Segrè , Emilio Gino — (1905–1989) Italian–American physicist Segrè, who was born at Tivoli in Italy, studied at the University of Rome under Enrico Fermi and obtained his doctorate there in 1928. He worked with Fermi until 1936, when he was appointed director of the… …
95Faster-than-light — (also superluminal or FTL) communications and travel refer to the propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light. Science fiction style space travel, dubbed true FTL, defies known physics.Under the special theory of… …
96Proton decay — In particle physics, proton decay is a hypothetical form of radioactive decay in which the proton decays into lighter subatomic particles, usually a neutral pion and a positron. Proton decay has not been observed. There is currently no evidence… …
