Fast Neutron Fission

Famous quotes containing the words fast and/or fission:

    Man ... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced—by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.
    Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
