...being quite secure, but no one sensed what was coming. By 1900 the Newtonian physics were demolished, done for! ... I have been fooled once, and I'll be damned if I'll be fooled again! . . . There is no more reason to suppose that Einstein's relativity is anything final than Newton's Principia. The danger is dogmatic thought; it plays the devil with it." religion, and science is not immune from "I Have Been Saying . . ."

So when an atom of uranium (the heaviest natural element) splits into two fragments and a few loose neutrons, all the pieces, added together, weigh less than the original uranium atom. By Einstein's famous equation (E = Mc2), this loss of weight shows up as the energy that powers uranium bombs...

...growing polio viruses in tissue cultures of non-nervous tissues. From the obscure technical lan guage they used, only another virologist could have divined the explosive import of their work. In fact, Enders' discovery was to a polio vaccine (and to much other health-saving virus research) what Einstein's cryptic E = mc2 was to the atom bomb...
