When the first nuclear bomb was exploded by the Manhattan project, there was
a pool started to predict the force of the explosion. One scientist predicted
that most of New Mexico would be wiped off the face of the Earth.

Another scientist predicted that the reaction could not be halted, and would
eventually consume the entire planet, perhaps continuing to destroy the
entire Universe!!!!!!

It's true, I heard it on public T.V.
