I do not doubt that it would be possible to inject ideas into the modern

world that would utterly destroy us. I would like to give you an example, but fortunately I cannot

do so. Perhaps it will suffice to mention the nuclear bomb. Imagine the effect on a reasonably

advanced technological society, one that still does not possess the bomb, of making it aware of the

possibility, of supplying sufficient details to enable the thing to be constructed. Twenty or thirty

pages of information handed to any of the major world powers around the year 1925 would have

been sufficient to change the course of world history. It is a strange thought, but I believe a correct

one, that twenty or thirty pages of ideas and information would be capable of turning the

present-day world upside down, or even destroying it. I have often tried to conceive of what those

pages might contain, but of course I cannot do so because I am a prisoner of the present-day world,

just as all of you are.
