Yesterday, we fought wars which destroyed cities. Today, we are concerned with avoiding a war which will destroy the earth. We can adapt atomic energy to produce electricity and move ships, but can we control its use in anger?

American Politician

Richard P. Feynman

Working out another system to replace Newton's laws took a long time because phenomena at the atomic level were quite strange. One had to lose one's common sense in order to perceive what was happening at the atomic level.

American Physicist

Mordechai Vanunu

Second point is no one here could predict or know that Israel was involved or started producing the hydrogen bomb - the most advanced and powerful atomic bomb that can kill millions of people.

Israeli Scientist

Mahatma Gandhi

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.

Indian Leader

Albert Einstein

I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.

German Physicist

Harry Browne

There was no military reason to drop atomic bombs on Japan. They were used as terrorist weapons - killing innocent people to influence other people.

American Writer

Willard Libby

The future of the world, dependent as it is upon atomic energy, requires more understanding and knowledge about the atom.

American Scientist

Werner Heisenberg

If we made atomic bombs, we would bring about a terrible change in the world. Who knows what would happen from this?

David Means

Alice Munro is an atomic writer blasting doors into narrative time.

Frederick Soddy

Man cannot influence in this respect the atomic forces of Nature.

English Scientist

The term 'atomic' is fundamental in science, especially chemistry and physics.

Science Foundation

Use 'atomic' to visualize tiny, indivisible components of matter.

Visual Imagery

'Atomic' can imply great power when discussing energy and weapons.

Powerful Connotation

'Atomic' in this sense is often used in technical, scientific, or military discussions.

Technical Context

In computing, 'atomic' suggests precision and non-divisibility of operations.

Computer Precision

Using 'atomic' in computing highlights the importance of error-free processes.

 We've currently touched the atomic level, though our control remains limited. But we potentially could go much smaller in the future. To get a sense of the extent to which that's true, the observable universe is 26 orders of magnitude larger than a human body.
