THE WHEEL IN SPACE


 THE WHEEL IN SPACE.   Written by David Whittaker.   4 episodes.
                       27th April - 1st June 1968.
                     
 COMPANIONS:- Jamie and introducing Zoe Heriot.

   The TARDIS materialises aboard a rocket which is orbiting a huge Wheel in
 Space. The Doctor and Jamie are taken aboard the Wheel and find that
 Cybermats are at work. The Cybermen are using them to try to gain control
 of the Wheel, in preparation for a new attempt at invading Earth.
   With the help of a young astrophysicist called Zoe, the Doctor first
 manages to save the Wheel from a meteor storm engineered by the Cybermen
 and then destroys the Cyber ship with the Wheel's laser.
   At the end of the story, Zoe steals aboard the TARDIS but is discovered.
 After pleading to be allowed to join the Doctor and Jamie on their travels,
 Zoe is shown the perils she will face when the Doctor projects a past
 adventure onto the TARDIS scanner. This led to a repeat the following week
 of THE EVIL OF THE DALEKS.
   THE WHEEL IN SPACE was scripted from a story by Kit Pedler and it was the
 last story of season five, one which  became known as The Monster Season.

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all...

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs. ...
