BALLOONS, PYRAMIDS, AND DINOSAURS

Luis Walter Alvarez loved piloting airplanes. He helped develop high-altitude particle sensors carried by balloons and aircraft. Alvarez also traveled to Egypt to search for hidden chambers in the great pyramids using the signatures of muons, particles produced by cosmic rays colliding with the atmosphere. Luis and his geologist son wrote a paper providing evidence that the dinosaurs went extinct as the result of an extraterrestrial object colliding with Earth, which proved to be correct. Alvarez died in 1988.
