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

It reflects a prevailing myth that production technology is no more amenable to human judgment or social interests than the laws of thermodynamics, atomic structure or biological inheritance. ↗

Instead of an attic with a few test tubes, bits of wire and odds and ends, the attack on the atomic nucleus has required the development and construction of great instruments on an engineering scale. ↗

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

Elements which are similar as regards their chemical properties have atomic weights which are either of nearly the same value (eg. Pt, Ir, Os) or which increase regularly (eg. K, Ru, Cs). ↗

The elements, if arranged according to their atomic weights, exhibit an apparent periodicity of properties. ↗

We must expect the discovery of many as yet unknown elements-for example, elements analogous to aluminum and silicon- whose atomic weight would be between 65 and 75. ↗
