' 4 k The chessboard t f By Craig Madsen Abbas Riazi and Steven Death, both current champions, tied for 1st place in the month-lon- g Utah Closed Chess Championship that was held on campus at the University of Utah. Riazi and Death, both masters, could hardly have been tied any closer. In fact, the only difference in their scores was their games against John Rukavina and K.C. Holmes. Riazi lost to Rukavina, while Death lost to Holmes. Its hard to believe that the winner of such an event could be decided by the outcome of their opponents! But, Rukavina and Holmes finished with the exact same scores, which leaves only about one way to break such a toss a coin, or as in Heubner-Smyslotie theres always the roulette wheel (?!). Dana Fredenburgh's 2 score was a very impressive result. Although rated only 1982, Fredenburgh will shortly the expert ranks with this fine showing. Fletcher Gross finished in 4th place with his 4 tally, w'hich has got to be considered mediocre showing for him.

But like many simple questions, the answer has profound implications. Think about it. If there are stars everywhere in the universe and the universe is infinite, then m every direction we look, sooner or later our line of sight will encounter the surface of a star. So, in an infinite universe, everywhere we look at night should be about as bright as the surface of our sun. An infinite number of stars should provide us with an infinite amount of light The whole sky should glow. But the nighttime sky is dark. Does that mean that the universe is finite? But in a static finite universe, Newton pointed out, everything must fall together gravitaWhy is 1 2219 1 h h 15 I 1W 0 1 1 2147 1 to e ft 1 1 to 1 1 0 2141 1 Vj Vj s 1 0 to 1 0 to 0 2065 2055 0 0 0 1 1 b to 1 0 1 1 0 2034 Oh 1989 1 1982 1948 0 0 1 to 1 0 1 0 0 d Abbas Riazi Steven Deatti Fletcher Gross OOOOsOlOO Hons Morrow Robert Holes Hhhh totOOlOOaO J.

After we kick the White Knight off c3, Black can continue his pressure on the e4 square. Pays and physician, discovered the problem independently in 1823. Olbers also suggested an answer. The space between the stars must contain obscuring dust. Indeed, today we know that interstellar realm consists of sparsely distributed gas and dust only a dozen atoms or molecules per handful of space on the average. The gas is effectively transparent but the dust absorbs and scatters light and therefore darkens the background, just as a desert duststorm hides the horizon from view. Sixty years ago, the interstellar obscuration was thought to be the solution to Olbers Paradox. The nighttime sky was dark due to a veil of dust.
