Player. Ty, I was astounded to learn that along about the same time they were developing the atomic bomb, they already had a very decent handle on Thermonuclear Ballistics, a.k.a. Hydrgen Bombs. They were afraid to detonate one because everyone was afraid it could ignite the atmosphere and annihalate life as we know it on Earth.

Yes but it was Einstein who paved the way with his thinking and also felt remorse. He was found dead of natural causes, we hipsters tripped that he took his being off into thought energy leaving his body
