Fast Neutron Fission

Famous quotes containing the words fast and/or fission:

    Unhappie Verse, the witnesse of my unhappie state,
    Make thy selfe fluttring wings of thy fast flying
    Thought,
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    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)
