- and [0,3], respectively [Fig. 3(a)]. This led to 4.8 × 10⁵ individual simulations sampled on 4.8 × 10³ grid points. For each run, we measured the active MASHer rms angular momentum about their centre of mass x_c.m. = (L/2π) arctan[Im(A)/Re(A)], where L = 1.03√(πr₀²N) is the simulation box size, A = Σ_{i=1}^{N_a} exp(-2πix_i/L), N_a is the number of active MASHers, x_i is the x position of the ith MASHer, and a similar expression holds for y_c.m.. In the low-flocking, high-noise limit, we found the angular momentum was near zero, and upon closer inspection, discovered a gaslike region [Fig. 3(b)] where MASHers quantitatively reproduced the statistics found in experimentally observed mosh pits [Fig. 2(c)].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nml6axyu2p7fpvknmeyd4bho/bafkreigwonxxljm6nna4qhf5e2umru2ukdo45cqakj7unnzb5dzsrsnsem)

Galaxy editor Frederick Pohl had serious reservations about the second and third stories, I think rightly. For me To Open the Sky (1967) is a more effective story sequence - also made up of stories published in Galaxy.
Faith in the stars: To Open the Sky (1967) by Robert Silverberg
A key novel in its author’s development is set in a world where a new religion could pave the way for humanity’s expansion to the stars.

That first story is a strong one, especially for something written in five days. The novel as a whole, though, I feel is B-tier Silverberg - not operating at full strength.

This is a fix-up which grew out of the Hugo Award-winning novella "Nightwings", which was written in haste to help Silverberg recover financially from a fire which devastated his house.

almost functional Odessa Silverberg cosplay! Even if I can't finish all the details for when I hopefully see Miki Higashino at Saga Barcelona, I'll look great and have a lot of fun haha and after that I have time to retouch it for our last con of the season (Madrid Otaku!)

"Our Lady of the Sauropods" by Robert Silverberg is from 1980 and has dinosaur cloning, so not quite the 1970s but pretty close!
