Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Total Atomic Defense It is hard to imagine how the human race lived before the age of fire. The cooking pot and water jug molded from soft clay and baked to durable hardness in a fired pit, the axe-head and arrow-tip of fire-splintered flint, the metal knife blade, the hammer, the saw, the clock, the navigator´s compass, the printing press, the steam engine, the machine reaper and on up to the robotistic machinery of the modern age - all are products of the first great basic art given to man, the art of producing a fire by artificial means. Without fire to change the texture of substances, no apparatus, tool or utensil could ever have been made. And now, after thousands of years since the age of fire began, there has been placed in the hands of man a second great basic art, one which may prove even greater than the art of kindling a fire. It is the art of smashing atoms, to get from them an energy millions of times more powerful than the energy released from any substance by the action of fire.
