The little quanta of energy are the building stones of the universe, far more fundamental than big, clumsy atoms or even protons or electrons. Out of their discovery grew Einstein's relativity, including his historic proof, not then considered fraught with danger to civilization, that matter is equivalent to energy. Out of it grew Niels Bohr's description of the atom as a sort of sun surrounded by electron...

This fact has been asserted again & again by the Atomic Energy Commission and backed up by responsible U.S. physicists. The central "secret"-that an atom bomb can be constructed-has long been known to all the scientific world. Last week the AEC's files yielded documentary proof: Russian scientific papers on the subject, published in 1940, before the U.S. started its atom bomb project...
