All right. Now, radiation is a 1957-type problem, and it is here with magnitude. I don't say that we have a magnitude of radiative particles around, so much as the problem itself has great magnitude, in that to realize that men could be so suicidal or so foolish they could go on playing with a weapon which is not a weapon and which is not useful in war. And they still go on playing with it. To realize that men can get into that condition is to realize that they go further south and still walk … [Read more...] about Lecture: Auditing Techniques: Solids (1957)

The difficulty here is that there is a curve which follows the level of sanity and the level of absorbed radiation. And these curves do seem to be parallel. The more radiation which a person absorbs, the less sanity he can be expected to exhibit. It does seem this is the case. He goes down Tone Scale[1. Definition: Tone Scale], and he goes down rather rapidly. Well, is there any place one could make a halt with this? Is there any process that could be used to stop this? Well, currently we … [Read more...] about Lecture: Radiation (November 5, 1956)
