Gamma rays can also come from the other stars in space, Through the creation and death of the stars along with the creation of solar flares.

- ... OF) in the 1950s. Cellular automata are imaginary mathematical "cells" --analogous to checkerboard squares--that can be made to simulate physical processes by subjecting them to certain simple rules called algorithms (see ALGORITHM). Before his death, von Neumann had developed a set of algorithms by which a cellular automaton--a box shape with a very long tail--could "reproduce" itself. Another important predecessor of a-life research was Dutch biologist Aristid ...

- ... final offspring impure, diminished desirable characteristics38. Thus did they believe a dilution of desirable traits evolved even more diluted desirable traits - these traits now decidedly muted. It was more than two decades after Darwin's death that Mendelian theory of the gene finally came to light at the turn of the century39.
