...Einstein Equation,* which shows that all matter, on earth and elsewhere, is merely frozen energy. "It tells us that the most powerful nuclear transformation so far known, the fission of a heavy nucleus, releases only one-1,000th of the energy locked up in its mass." The sub-atomic particles which form the uranium nucleus are not themselves transformed. They are only reshuffled into smaller nuclei, with a tiny loss of mass. If protons, for instance, which are found in all nuclei, could only be transformed into energy, the explosion would be really vigorous...

When the Manhattan Project decided to produce plutonium in quantity for making atomic bombs, almost nothing was known about its chemical properties. It existed only in sub-microscopic quantities. By August 1942, the Metallurgical Laboratory at Chicago had isolated a weighable amount. It wasn't much. Major General Leslie R. Groves, military head of the bomb project, was shown the entire world supply. He peered hard, and remarked, "I don't see anything...
