Greetings:
	Just because you don't understand or believe in something, and just
because scientists can't measure something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
	Were you to travel back in time and warn the peasants to stay away from
a specific area because it was poisoned with invisible evil spirits at what
would in the future become the site of a Uranium mine, does not mean that
radiation does not exist, just because they would have been unable to see it.
	Now, how would you prove to them that you spoke the enlightened truth?
Unless you could dazzle them with a geiger counter which hadn't been invented
yet by the scientists of the time?
