Andrey DmitriyevickKakarov of USSR. The ChairmanDepartment of atomic energy Government of India. The response was, that Shirely Petty Secretary to Dr. Tellersent back the article that I may be able send it to someone else, for Dr.Teller was on extended travel and would be traveling most of the rest of theyear also. R.S. Pease of England, and Lennart Gillijan of Swedish Nuclear Power Inspectorate,acknowledged the receipt of my letter. Others assumed reticence. Why?
Thisrecalls to my mind the case of Muller. H.J. Muller to whom is due the profound,epoch making discovery of the induction of mutations by ionizing radiation in1927. It is a curious commentary on our times that Muller's paper, originallyprepared for the "Geneva Conference on the Peaceful Use of atomicenergy" (August 1955) could not be presented and discussed at theconference. Why?
Because the discovery in question was regarded as detrimentalto those who wanted to move on the path of atomic energy with eyes closedagainst the hazards. The same, though in a far greater degree, could be said ofmy discovery. My offer, however, still holds good to the entire community ofthe atomists all over the world.
Herein is opened a new and novel vista ofresearch for the scientist and the philosopher with the hope of redemption ofthis mankind from a most grievous and most painful doom in the flames of theatomic hell. Although it is for the eminent physicists and Radio-biologists to reallyappreciate the characterization of the atomic phenomenon, yet the measure ofcomplexity is not such that would make the whole thing incomprehensible to aman of average education and understanding.
We will now read the entire text ofthe prophecy which is as follows:- "Woe to every backbiter, defamer, who amasseth wealth(of this world) and arrangeth it (against the future). He thinketh that hiswealth will render him immortal. Nay, for, verily he will be cast intoAl-Hotama. And what could teach thee what Al-Hotama is? It is kindled fire ofAllah which leapeth up on to the hearts. It is (a fire) closed in on them inoutstretched columns" (Quran 104 - Al -Homaza).
Now the characteristic features of the atomic phenomenon according to the Quranare: That itis crusher, for the term Hotama literally means a crusher. That itis fire and is fire of Allah. That itis a fire which leaps up on to the hearts. That itis a fire which is closed in on them. That itraises outstretched columns.
