Metron (character)
Metron is a fictional antihero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Publication history Metron first appeared in ''New Gods'' #1 (February–March 1971) and was created by Jack Kirby for his '' Fourth World'' series. He was based on Leonard Nimoy's portrayal of the ''Star Trek'' character Spock and designed as a character who "would frequently change sides (between New Genesis and Apokolips)".Ro, Ronin. ''Tales to Astonish: Jack Kirby, Stan Lee and the American Comic Book Revolution'' (Bloomsbury, 2004) The Metrons in ''Star Trek'' serve a similar capacity in the episode "Arena", seeking to settle a conflict in their star system by pitting Kirk against the captain of a Gorn ship who attacked a nearby outpost. The single Metron seen on screen vaguely resembles a young male in a silver toga, another visual connection to the "gods of old" and completely disinterested in taking sides.

Kirk ( William Shatner), First Officer and Science Officer Spock ( Leonard Nimoy), and Chief Medical Officer Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley). Shatner's voice-over introduction during each episode's opening credits stated the starship's purpose: Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship ''Enterprise''. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Metron (poetry)
A metron , (from ancient Greek "measure"), plural ''metra'', is a repeating section, 3 to 6 syllables long, of a poetic metre. The word is particularly used in reference to ancient Greek. According to a definition by Paul Maas, usually a metron consists of two long elements and up to two other elements which can be short, '' anceps'' or ''biceps''.Maas, Paul (translated by H. Lloyd-Jones) (1962) ''Greek Metre'', pp. 38–39. Thus an iambic metron is x – ᴗ – (where "x" represents an ''anceps'' element), a trochaic metron is – ᴗ – x, an ionic metron is ᴗ ᴗ – –, an anapaestic metron is ᴗᴗ – ᴗᴗ –, a cretic metron – ᴗ –, a baccheus is ᴗ – –, and a spondee is – –. This definition of the metron (i.e. as having two long elements) does not apply to the dactylic hexameter or to the dochmiac metre, but some scholars regard the dactyl (– ᴗᴗ) and the dochmiac (ᴗ – – ᴗ –) as metra in their own right.

Corrado Gini
Corrado Gini (23 May 1884 – 13 March 1965) was an Italian statistician, demographer and sociologist who developed the Gini coefficient, a measure of the income inequality in a society. Gini was a proponent of organicism and applied it to nations.Aaron Gillette. Racial theories in fascist Italy'. London, England, UK; New York, New York, USA. Pp. 40. Gini was a eugenicist, and prior to and during World War II, he was an advocate of Italian Fascism. Following the war, he founded the Italian Unionist Movement, which advocated for the annexation of Italy by the United States. Career Gini was born on May 23, 1884, in Motta di Livenza, near Treviso, into an old landed family. He entered the Faculty of Law at the University of Bologna, where in addition to law he studied mathematics, economics, and biology.

Heim Theory
Heim theory, first proposed by German physicist Burkhard Heim publicly in 1957, is an attempt to develop a theory of everything in theoretical physics. The theory claims to bridge some of the disagreements between quantum mechanics and general relativity. The theory has received little attention in the scientific literature and is regarded as being outside mainstream science but has attracted some interest in popular and fringe media. In his book ''"Deep Space Propulsion: A Roadmap to Interstellar Flight"'' aerospace engineer and physicist Kelvin Long, co-founder of the Initiative for Interstellar Studies, describes the theory as an idea "that could represent some element of a future breakthrough in propulsion physics" but states that he has "no opinion for or against" this theory. Development Heim attempted to resolve incompatibilities between quantum theory and general relativity. To meet that goal, he developed a mathematical approach based on quantizing spacetime. Othe ...
