In reading Robert Heinlein's Time Enough for Love I came across the term "Zwicky Search which the author has the hero mention in the context of discusssions of genetics and interstellar travel. I assume therefore this has something to do with the astronomer Fritz Zwicky, who discovered neutron stars and (the evidence for) dark matter. Heinlein does not explain what is meant by the term. Can anyone elucidate? Thanks. μηδείς ( talk) 20:22, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
