The Energy Available For Each Individual Man

[this] May Prove To Be The Beginning Of Some Embracing Generalization, Which Will Throw Light, Not Only On Radioactive Processes, But On Elements In General And The Periodic Law.... Chemical Homogeneity Is No Longer A Guarantee That Any Supposed Element Is Not A Mixture Of Several Of Different Atomic Weights, Or That Any Atomic Weight Is Not Merely A Mean Number.

I Believe That There Have Been Civilisations In The Past That Were Familiar With Atomic Energy, And That By Misusing It They Were Totally Destroyed.

Though Their Intrigue Left Euclid Dumb There's Now No Need For Rule Of Thumb. Since Zero Bend's A Dead Straight Line And Concave Bends Have Minus Sign, The Sum Of Squares Of All Four Bends Is Half The Square Of Their Sum.

It Is Probable That All Heavy Matter Possesses - Latent And Bound Up With The Structure Of The Atom - A Similar Quantity Of Energy To That Possessed By Radium. If It Could Be Tapped And Controlled What An Agent It Would Be In Changing The World's Destiny!

Some Of The Beliefs And Legends Bequethed To Us By Antquity Are So Universally And Firmly Established That We Have Become Accustomed To Consider Them As Being Almost As Ancient As Humanity Itself.
