watt hours of electricity! Thus, according to
Einstein, twelve pounds of totally destroyed
matter would produce all electrical power
consumed annually by the United States.
Enthusiastic science popularizers grabbed
up this fact and went happily to work figuring
how many spoonfuls of water contained
enough energy to drive steamship across the
Atlantic Physicists smiled wryly. There was,
they pointed out, one very great catch. A
bombardment to smash this power out of
pound of atoms would require several times
the ten billion kilowatt- hours of power that
would be released. Atoms, they continued,
were not packed tightly together. Therefore
power releasing hits would be rare. Einstein
put the case aptly Shooting at atoms, he
said, was very much like shooting ducks on a
dark night in the country where there weren't
apt to be any ducks. There would be millions
of misses for every hit. Hope of squeezing
power from the atom appeared about as likely
as the invention of perpetual-motion ma
chine Then =.

4 20 ONE heard the explosion that quite
III possibly ushered in a new era in human
4 u history. And no one saw it. Although
it released 200 COG, 600 volts and ranked as the
greatest man-made explosion in history, it
still lacked power to tickle mosquito.
It was the explosion of an atom.
The fact that it had occurred was revealed
only by photo plate.
To most readers such an explosion may
appear to be as remotely important as hail
storm on Mars Yet this one is filled with
alluring possibilities. Within decade it may
profoundly touch all of our lives 1t may
mean radical new airplanes and automobiles
that run without fuel; furnaces that produce
heat without coal or oil; ships that cruise end
lessly with empty bunkers.
This accidental explosion has already
touched off one of history's most dramatic
races = little-heralded competition for new
knowledge among the earths scientific great.
Adolph Hitler took time out to set the staff
of Berlin's Kaiser Wilhelm Institute on the
Job of investigating this atom that exploded

so miraculously. To historians hundred
years hence that order may hold far more
significance than the battle plans which swept
his armies into half dozen countries.
Similarly. in Paris, Irene Curie and her
husband, Frederick Joliot, got on the job.
In America no orders from dictator
were needed. Companies like General Electric,
various universities and private laboratories
appreciated the implications of that atomic
explosion and joined the race. The stakes are
great beyond the imagination: power in un-
dreamed-of quantities.
But to mention these things here is to get
ahead of our story, which begins thirtyive
years ago when bushy haired little German
Swiss physicist challenged human thought
with a daring concept. Matter and energy,
said Albert Einstein, were very much the
same thing. If the cohesive binding force
that held together atoms in pound of matter
was suddenly set free, incredible amounts of
power would be liberated. DR.. Einstein made
calculations that indicated pound of matter
was the potential producer of ten billion kio-
