It was equally imperative that this chain of reactions should always tend to dampen, to die out. It must not build up, or the uranium mass would explode within a time interval too short to be measured by any means whatsoever. Nor would there be anyone left to measure it.

It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.

History does not record anywhere or at any time a religion that has any rational basis.
