Nay, even thereafter, after the radiation has driven life to its grave, the huge grave of earth, it would keep on the encompassment of the grave that is this earth to million of years indeed according to the half-life of the radioactive substances.

(9) The scene of the Hellish encompassment of this earth by radiation in the age of full fledged atomic-energy-for-peace:- Just imagine the scene of a world in some future age, when every power house, factory, ship, submarine, railway engine, aeroplane bus even every private car will have its own independent reactor.

The leakage and the frequent explosions of old reactors all over the world will fill it with radiation and this earth will appear like a huge globe encompassed by the net of radiations that would continue even after life has been made extinct on earth by the effect of radiation.

This world then for a period before the extinction of life will resemble so exactly the atomic hell that no keen-sightedness of a Socrates will be needed to see it so or call it so, nor is it impossible now even before the state has actually appeared, to imagine the actual state that will then be prevailing, naming that state as the atomic hell. (VI) THE QURAN SAYS " HOTAMA IS A FIRE CLOSED IN ON THEM IN OUTSTRETCHED COLUMNS".

The outstretched column of the atomic bomb explosion:- The column has become the symbolical representation of the atomic bomb explosion. It is by the outstretched column that the atomic bomb explosion is optically differentiated from the conventional bomb explosion. Everybody knows the fact and recognizes it. Radio-active atomic particles raise columns too:- It is not only the atomic bomb explosion that raises the columns. The radio-active atomic particles too raise columns by themselves.

The world of Radioactivity is a world of columns. A single Uranium-235 fission liberates comparatively huge energy equal to 200 MeV and if a Copper atom has to traverse a height of one inch only, it has to move a distance equal to 100 million times its own diameter. We find that an Alpha particle which is much smaller than the Copper atom in size and whose radius is of the order of abut 10-13 cm can rise to the height of from 3 to 7 centimeters.

Thus the particle has traversed a distance equal to millions of millions times its own diameter. A football rising into air in the same ratio to its size would move far out into the outer space. Gamma rays despite their extreme smallness traverse a distance of 200 yards in air.
