Milking The Secret

posted by Frank Pasquale

It looks like pressure from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (via the Federal Trade Commission) has gotten the Dairy Industry to stop touting milk as a diet food. They need to provide more substantiation of the link between “dairy consumption and weight loss.”

So what about The Secret? For those unfamiliar with this self-help phenomenon, here’s a nice summary from Emily Yoffe:

There are now 5.3 million copies of the book in print in the United States. . . .[i]t is a No. 1 best seller in Australia, England, and Ireland, and it is scheduled to be translated into 30 languages. . . There’s no secret to The Secret. The book and movie simply state that your thoughts control the universe. Through this “law of attraction” you “manifest” your desires. “It is exactly like placing an order from a catalogue. . . . You must know that what you want is yours the moment you ask.” “See yourself living in abundance and you will attract it. It works every time, with every person.”

Even Oprah is buying it . . . despite the fact the book contains such extraordinarily irresponsible claims as “You cannot ‘catch’ anything unless you think you can, and thinking you can is inviting it to you with your thought.”

Could the FTC do anything to stop the marketing of The Secret? At first this case reminded me of the not-so-clairvoyant Miss Cleo, but it turns out her transgressions were mainly of rules regarding 1-900 numbers. A quick perusal of Rebecca Tushnet’s fantastic blog led me to this post about a big fine against makers of the Q-Ray bracelet for “infomercials . . . falsely representing that (1) the bracelet provides immediate, significant or complete pain relief and (2) scientific tests prove the pain-relief claims.”

Perhaps The Secret lacks the “immediacy” prong of that accusation. But it does rely pretty heavily on both scientific and religious rhetoric. Consider this little tidbit from Yoffe, describing its author:

She asserts that “the discoveries of quantum physics … are in total harmony with the teachings of The Secret.” To prove this, she explains, “I never studied science or physics at school, and yet when I read complex books on quantum physics I understood them perfectly because I wanted to understand them.”

And I want to devise a perpetual motion machine! I’ll just envision it working and it’ll come true, right?

A few more thoughts beneath the fold….


Here is a rough and ready account of the elements of a false advertising claim:

(1) a false statement of fact has been made about the advertiser’s own or another person’s goods, services, or commercial activity;

(2) the statement either deceives or has the potential to deceive a substantial portion of its targeted audience;

(3) the advertising involves goods or services in interstate commerce;

(4) the deception is also likely to affect the purchasing decisions of its audience;

(5) the deception has either resulted in or is likely to result in injury to the plaintiff.

I’m not going to go through all these because I think The Secret’s author may have one last defense: anyone for whom The Secret didn’t work simply didn’t visualize hard enough. But it’s books like this that almost make me happy to see claims like the one against James Frey for Million Little Pieces. Maybe the Advertising Standards Authority in Britain can do something.

Finally, consider this pearl of wisdom from The Secret:

Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and Jesus were not only prosperity teachers, but also millionaires themselves, with more affluent lifestyles than many present-day millionaires could conceive of.

Someone needs to read a little less Prayer of Jabez and watch a little more Pasolini.

    I hate, hate these woo-woo new-agers who think that The Tao of Physics, The Dancing Wu Li Masters, or any of the poststructuralist Critical Theory drivel they inspired have more than a passing resemblance to actual quantum mechanics. She has clearly never read an actual “complex book on quantum physics”.

    “Could the FTC do anything to stop the marketing of The Secret?”

    Yicks! What are you suggesting, Frank? Think, man. If the FTC had authority to delve into The Secret, it has authority to delve into the Bible or the Koran. Those “self help” texts make fantastic statements that are irresponsible too, you know. Leave the quacks alone, or they’ll be calling you a quack next, etc etc.

    I am ardently visualizing Rhonda Byrne and her kindred New Age self-help charlatans, standing in the town square, each wearing nothing but a sign that reads “I am a pathetic fraud,” while the townspeople pelt them with rotten vegetables.

    They would then have to ban “An Inconvenient Truth” and most special interest legislation…. Not going to happen, but we can dream.

    ‘The Secret’ you say? Why look fabulous and get rich! Look at Paris Hilton and all the great things that have happened to that drunk driving, jail a-goin’ [redacted]. She got the secret, daddy’s millions.

    There is a fool born every minute and if you think this modern day Pythagorean charm of ‘like attracts like’ is the last we seen of new age magic, you better hide you head and get ready for real foolishness.

    Freedom of press. The First Amendment is in full force here. The FTC (or FDA, or any other government agency) doesn’t have the power to suppress a book simply because it contains false claims.

    Erich von Däniken, anyone?

    In fact, they can’t suppress printing of a book at all, except for certain very specific and carefully circumscribed reasons e.g. child porn.

  10. Patrick - May 14, 2007 at 11:28 am

    What is fascinating to me is this isn’t at all new. For those who pay attention to Christian movements this kind of philosophy is called “name it, claim it” theology. Been around for a good few decades or longer in its present form. The network TBN features a lot of these people, and in fact a good many of all preachers on television have this message to one degree or another.

    The Secret is genius because it took this really appealing (“it’s up to me!”) message and removed all the pesky religious bits. Name it, claim it relies on a person’s power of faith, faith that can be visibly shown by “planting seeds”. “Send me your $1000 and you’ll have $10,000 because of your faith of releasing your money”.

    It sells because it feels so not passive. It’s loony, but we want it to be true. We want it to be just that simple and something that we can fix.

    And like with its religious version The Secret will have a wonderful following, always able to attract a constant new batch as soon as the old batch realizes that no matter how much they think right they still won’t be able to find their satisfaction. Oprah, of course, is just like the big haired women on Christian television who can flash her money and success, getting people to think that everyone can have her achievement if they just think positive enough.

    The four people it works for stand on stage while the thousands and thousands and thousands who don’t find anything wander off to yet the next easy soul satisfaction craze.

    Very sad. But, genius of a book. For the author to tap into that name it, claim it trend but give it a popular appeal is brilliant.

  11. Rob S - May 15, 2007 at 2:50 am

    When you say you can’t do a thing, you’re very often right. The inverse applies too. Haven’t you heard of self-fulfilling prophecy?

    No, it’s not a matter of ‘envision(ing) it working and it’ll come true, right?’ First you envision it, then you work hard and persistently at it, then it comes true. What’s so crazy about that?

    I haven’t read the book but I heartily agree with the philosophy in the synopsis as told above. Seems to me the author is empowering people to believe ‘You Can!’ Why is that fodder for your ridicule?

  12. Maryland Conservatarian - May 15, 2007 at 3:06 pm

    Rob S asks: “Why is that fodder for your ridicule?”

    …anything that suggests an alternative to government as the ultimate provider is fodder for ridicule

  13. RC - May 17, 2007 at 3:19 pm

    Both this est-like bunk and “name it, claim it” doctrine are offshoots of the 19th-century “New Thought” movement, which also inspired Mary Baker Eddy’s “Christian Science” church.

  14. Solomon Marni (El sheik Hussein Mystics of Aytaroun) - June 22, 2007 at 4:43 am

    We are friends of the One

    Shall I tell you our secret?

    We are charming thieves who steal hearts

    and never fail because we are

    the friends of the One.

    The time for old preaching is over

    we aim straight at the heart.

    If the mind tries to sneak in and take over

    we will string it up without delay.

    We turn poison into medicine

    and our sorrows into blessings.

    All that was familiar,

    our loved ones and ourselves

    we had to leave behind.

    Blessed is the poem that comes through me

    but not of me because the sound of my own music

    will drown the song of Love

    -Solomon Marni (karm Samra,Aytaroun)

    The Mystic Sufi Science,Backward Time and The Day of Judgement.

    THE CONTRACTION OF THE UNIVERSE AND THE REVERSAL OF TIME

    Time is one of the most elusive mysteries of the universe. No one knows what time really is. Albert Einstein explained time by saying that time is something that we measure with the clock. Time passes slowly within objects moving at speeds close to that of light and stops altogether at the speed of light. Time also slows near massive objects like earth, sun, very dense stars called the neutron stars, and almost stops inside the super massive stars “the black holes.” Time has a direction, it always moves towards the future. Some physicists like Michael Berry, Thomas Gold, and Steven Hawking have proposed that time may reverse when the universe begins to contract. Verses in the Quran suggest that one day the universe will start contracting and this will coincide with beginning of the Day of Judgment.

    “The day” when, We shall roll up the heavens as a recorder rolls up a written scroll. As, We began the first creation We shall repeat it. Qur’an, Chapter 21 Verse 104

    In the above verse, “The Day” means The Day of Judgment and the contraction of the universe, is compared to the closing of a scroll. This is when time may reverse. Reversal of time will cause man to rise from his grave and again become alive. Every event will be replayed again as everything has been recorded in time.

    This book pronounces against you with truth We have caused (all) you did to be recorded. (In time). Qur’an Chapter 45 Verse 29

    And there is nothing hidden in the heavens, or the earth, but it is a clear record (in time). Qur’an Chapter 27 Verse 75

    As the history of earth runs backwards through time, nations will return one after another. All the good and evil deeds of the individual as well as that of the nations will become completely apparent as time reversal occurs.

    And you will see each nation humbled, each nation called to its record. And it will be said to them: This day you are repaid for what you used to do. Qur’an Chapter 45 Verse 28 (time reversal)

    The playing back of time will cause people to see what they had done previously. They will have no control over their hands, feet, mouths, and eyes. All the wrong and right things that were done before by them will be repeated again. In this sense, the mouths, hands, and feet, will become witnesses against them in front of the angels and God, and they will not be able to deny any of their wrong doings.

    On the day when their tongues and their hands and their feet testify against them as to what they used to do. Qur’an Chapter 24 Verse 24 (time reversal)

    We warn you of doom at hand. A day when a man will look on that his own hand has sent before, and the non-believers will cry: “Wish that we were dust.” Qur’an Chapter 78 Verse 40

    And, the messengers are brought into their time appointed. Qur’an Chapter 77 Verse 11 (The prophets will be returned into their time as time runs backwards)

    NO FREE WILL IN THE CONTRACTING UNIVERSE

    Man is given a free will to choose between right and wrong in the expanding universe, that is, when all his deeds are recorded in time. In the contracting universe, there will be no free will, and no one will have power to do harm or good to others, or change anything that they have done in their previous life.

    A day when no soul has power at all over any other soul, The absolute command on that day is God’s. Qur’an Chapter 82 Verse 19

    REVERSAL OF GRAVITY

    When earth is shaken with her final earthquake. Qur’an Chapter 99 Verse 1

    One aspect of gravity is minute differences in time at different heights. Time passes at a slightly faster rate at the top of a mountain, as compared to the sea level. This difference in time, although imperceptible to us, is enough to make things fall to earth, and can be measured with the aid of atomic clocks. If time reverses in the contracting phase of the universe, then this time difference will also reverse. This will cause gravity to reverse so that everything will fall upwards, producing an earthquake of a magnitude never seen before. The earth along with the mountains will be suddenly lifted up from under our feet and subsequently come crashing down.

    When the trumpet is blown one blast the earth with the mountains shall be lifted and crushed with one crash. Qur’an Chapter 69 Verse 13-14

    The reversal of gravity will cause the earth to literally explode and turn inside out. The mountains will fall apart. The red-hot lava will be thrown out lighting up the sky like molten copper.

    When the sky will be like molten copper and the hills will be like flakes of wool. Qur’an Chapter 70 Verse 8

    The following verses describe the Day of Judgment in a comprehensive manner. The Day of Judgment will start with the final earthquake as gravity reverses. The reversal of gravity will cause the earth to throw out all that was once inside her, thereby becoming, completely empty. The hollowed earth will have the sky towards its center. The people will begin to rise from the graves coming back alive, one after another, “in scattered groups”. The history of nations will be played back with the reversal of time. Nations as well as people will be totally powerless caught in the backward flow of time. They will helplessly reenact and witness their own deeds of the past. This drama will continue until each one of us is removed to the beyond.

    When earth is shaken with her final earthquake. And earth yields its burdens (From within). And man says what’s wrong with her. That day she will relate her History (in time) because your Lord inspires her. That day mankind will issue forth in scattered groups to be shown their deeds. Qur’an Chapter 99 Verse 1-6.

    WILL WE REGRESS TO NOTHINGNESS WITH THE REVERSAL OF TIME?

    To an inquiring mind, it may occur that the reversal of time can lead to the resurrection from the grave. If this process remained unchecked then we will continue to grow younger, pass through our childhood and regress into nothingness in our mother’s wombs. This is also what time reversal theories say, again a purposeless exercise. Well not quite so! The thought of the great and final earthquake may instill fear into our hearts, but the real purpose is to make the higher dimensions accessible for escape from the collapsing universe. God has designed the universe with great precision. After the resurrection, arrangements have been made, to escape the unrelenting effect of time reversal, to beyond this universe.

    On that Day, He shall gather them together it will seem as if they have stayed (in the grave) for an hour, recognizing one another. Those who were not guided and denied the meeting with God will perish. Qur’an Chapter 10 Verse 45

    THE BLACK HOLES: “THE BLOCKED GATEWAYS” TO THE HIGHER DIMENSIONS

    And heaven is opened and becomes as gates. Qur’an Chapter 78 Verse 19

    The opening of gates in the sky is a concept similar to that of black holes. Such openings can be the gateways to beyond the universe through the higher dimensions. Massive stars, which collapse inward under their own weight, can form black holes. Gravity in such objects is so strong that even light cannot escape and they become invisible. Hence, the name black holes. Some physicists believe that space-time may be ripped apart in the black holes, producing gateways to beyond this universe. The curvature producing mass of the black hole however also blocks the opening, thus preventing anything from escaping to the higher dimensions.

    In the contracting universe, this problem should not exist. The reversal of gravity in the contracting phase will change all the heavenly bodies into massive hollow structures just as described in the Quran. These hollow structures will have empty skies in their center where even the reversed gravity of relatively lighter objects like earth, will have a run away effect. This will cause the fabric of space-time to be torn apart, forming portals or gateways to the higher dimensions The heavens will split asunder, for that day, it will be frail. Qur’an Chapter 69 Verse 16

    Mankind will see many strange things in the contracting universe that may cause confusion, (When sight is confounded.) One of these is the rising of sun from the west, mentioned in an authentic hadith. This phenomenon due to the reversal of time will be visible briefly as the Day of Judgment begins followed by the final earthquake. The earth will change into a hollow structure, from within which both the sun and the moon will not be visible. (The moon is eclipsed.) The gateways to beyond the universe will form in the center-sky, and may appear as a bright light constantly shining from straight above. This may cause us to wonder whether the sun and the moon have become one: (The sun and moon are united). This dilemma is probably mentioned in the following verses.

    When sight is confounded, And the moon is eclipsed (hidden from view), And sun and moon are united. (appear as one light). Qur’an Chapter 75 Verse 7-9

    The stars will stop shining as the light moves back with reversal of time. They will also be hidden from view from within the hollowed earth.

    When the stars are put out. Qur’an Chapter 78 Verse 8

    ANGELS DESCEND THROUGH THE GATES IN THE SKY

    A day when the heavens and the clouds will be rent asunder and the angels will be sent down “A grand descent. Qur’an Chapter 25 Verse 25

    The reversed gravity in the contracting universe will open gates in the center-sky of the earth. A spectacular site will be thousands of angels descending down to accomplish the task assigned to them on the Day of Judgment.

    Think of the day when, We remove the hills, and you see the earth emerging and We gather them together, as to leave not one of them behind. Qur’an Chapter 18 Verse 47

    The collapsing universe will ultimately be destroyed in a fireball which physicists call the “Big Crunch.” Everyone will be gathered much before that time comes and no one will be left behind. The angels of “The grand descent” may accomplish the gathering and removal of humans to “The beyond”. Anyone remaining behind could regress to nothingness, as time will be running backwards.

    That you shall “ride” on from plane to plane. Qur’an Chapter 84 Verse 19

    In our final journey through the gates that will open in the center sky, we may cross many planes or dimensions. The word “ride” is used in the Quran, as if this journey will be accomplished by riding on “something.”

    As we leave this universe we may be collected together on some vast plane in an another dimension, every one will come from all times and places in history to face the judgment of their deeds and heaven and hell. ^ TOP

    WHEN WILL THE DAY OF JUDGMENT ARRIVE

    Men ask you of the Hour. Say the knowledge of it is with God only. What can convey to you that may be the Hour is near. Qur’an Chapter 33 Verse 63

    They bid you to hasten on the doom. And if a term had not been appointed, the doom would have definitely come on them. And it will come upon them suddenly when they perceive not. Qur’an Chapter 29 Verse 53

    As the expansion of the universe slows time and motion will also slowdown, the rate of expansion, will appear the same.

    The threatened hour is near. None beside God can disclose it. Are you surprised then at this statement? Qur’an Chapter 53 Verse 57-59

    Even the most advanced civilization in the universe would always observe that the universe is expanding at the same steady rate with which it started. Paradoxically the far-reaches of space may even seem to expand faster when measurements are made with our local slowing time. The nature of time is such that slowing of time also cannot be perceived. This of course means that the beginning of the Day of Judgment cannot be predicted and may come at any time. Only God, who is independent of time, knows of the real timing of the Day of Judgment.

    WAITING IN THE GRAVE FOR DAY OF JUDGMENT TO ARRIVE?

    In the Quran, the soul is compared to consciousness and death is compared to sleep. Once death overcomes us there is no perception of the passage of time and the next thing we see will be the Day of Judgment.

    And on The Day when the Hour arrives the guilty will swear that they remained (dead) but for an hour, thus they were ever deceived but to those to whom knowledge and faith are given will say: ”The truth is that you have remained (dead) until the Day of Resurrection by God’s decree. This is the Day of Resurrection, but you used not to know.” Qur’an Chapter 30 Verse 55-56

    On The Day of Judgment, the reality of afterlife and the true religion Islam will become clear to everyone. To God belongs the Sovereignty of heavens and the earth on the Day when the Hour rises, who follow falsehood will be lost. Qur’an Chapter 45 Verse 27

    SUMMARY

    Man has placed his trust in science and technology to solve all our problems. Dazzled by the ability of technology to produce quick results, our faith in God has become weak. Our actions are for worldly goals, although a stronger belief in God and fear of accountability in the afterlife could make us better people. We can see the consequences of lacking these in the moral decay that is afflicting many societies all over the world.

    Many verses in the Quran describe the Day of Judgment. We live in a universe that has been expanding since its creation billions of years ago. Both the birth of the universe with the “Big Bang” and its expansion are described in the Quran. Scientists do not know if the expansion will continue forever, or if one day the universe will begin to contract. However, the Quranic verses suggest that the universe will not expand forever and that the Day of Judgment will begin with the contraction of the universe. It appears that time and gravity will reverse when the universe begins to contract. Reversal of time will bring about the resurrection from the grave. In this time reversed world we will come across all the good and evil that we did in our lives. Reversal of gravity will be the cause of the final earthquake, mentioned in the Quran. This will change the earth so that it will be turned inside out and be transformed into a giant hollow sphere with the sky towards its center. The reversed gravity focused towards the “earth’s center-sky” will have a runaway effect on space. The space in the center-sky will be literally torn apart to produce openings or gates to the higher dimensions that are beyond our universe. Through these openings, we will be removed from the collapsing universe.

    Everyone will be taken away to escape the unrelenting effect of time reversal that could regress us to nothingness in our mother’s wombs. In some higher dimension or plane mankind will be brought together from all times and places in history, to face the judgment for their deeds and hell or heaven.

    From the Quran, it appears that the timing of the Day of Judgment will never be known and it may come at any time. We should be aware that The Day of Judgment is very near to every one of us as there is no perception of passage of time after death.

    The agony of death comes in truth; this is what you wished to avoid, And the trumpet is blown; this is the threatened Day. Qur’an Chapter 50 Verse 19-20

    As we go through our daily life we should keep in mind that everything big and small that we do is being recorded in time. If we do not take steps to protect ourselves from evil, in addition to the threat of severe punishment, we stand the chance of great embarrassment on the Day of Judgment. The reversal of time will expose all our secrets.

    I hope the believers will realize that, The Day of Judgment is a religious, scientific and mathematical truth, which every one will have to face; and our deeds in this world will determine our fate in the eternal life. There is no doubt however, that the real knowledge of the Day of Judgment is with God only.

    The non-Muslims hopefully, will appreciate that the religion of Islam is more than just another belief and they will be stimulated to further investigate the world of Islam.

    Following footings ….. The way to avoid embarrassment is One. Read the up and coming article through wiretrendQuantum.. The great Sitar on the day of Nakedness.

    When I first heard of The Secret it was from a

    friend’s email. He said it was the best movie he’s

    ever watched.

    Honestly, I thought it was a movie he’d watched in

    a cinema!

    Now that I know The Secret is only available on DVD

    it’s quite embarrassing indeed. ;)

    I haven’t got a copy of the DVD though, just from

    the free snippets found on Youtube.

    Very inspiring.

    I should probably get The Secret DVD myself. Or

    beg, borrow or steal. ;p

    I started writing my “extinguishing the atomic hell series” in 1972. The series was complete in1982 in fourteen volumes. My views from the beginning were final. The consideration throughout was the truth. The optimism of the Scientist about the atomic future since 1972 has gradually dwindled, while the anxiety of the masses about the atomic hazards has increased. Yet the scientist is still far behind me in picturing the nuclear hazards. He can as yet only see the sun screened by the cloud of dust in the event of atomic war, and the northern region of the world frozen with cold, whereas the state of this world in future due to the radiation hazards in the era of full-fledged atomic-energy-for-peace all over the world is still hidden from his view. He is gradually though, approaching my view, that is the view of the Quran, and will sooner or later call this nuclear phenomenon by the name of atomic hell or the nuclear Jehannah. That will be a great day for this world. As far as the characterization of the atomic phenomenon and the portrayal of the atomic hell by the Quran is concerned, as you will read in brief in this volume, can be a challenge to the atomist on the ground of Science. No one can find a flaw in it. It is most perfect and undeniably has a miraculous aspect respecting expression and characterization. How I miss Einstein, the god of scientists, and Sir James Jeans, the judge of Science. My appeal to this mankind is to expel the influence of prejudice regarding the name of the Quran, in this matter, and to consider instead the pains related to the atomic hazards. Accept the light from where-ever it comes, and remember the days when this world will have only the atomic energy, and in full-fledged form, when every power house, factory, ship, aero plane, even the private motor car will have its own reactor. And just imagine the state of this earth under continuous radiation bone fire due to the leakage and explosion of reactors, every where. This earth then will be like a huge hospital for radiation-sickness and genetic malformations. It certainly will be a place worse than hell, atomic hell.

    CHAPTER-1
    BACON’S PHILOSOPHY AND BACONIAN PROGRESS :

    Today the entire population of this world follows Bacon’s philosophy of modern atomism. And yet a few know even Bacon’s name. A fewer still in this world have any acquaintance with his works. Bacon (1561-1626), the Lord Chancellor of England, and the founder of philosophy of modern atomism may be regarded as the devil incarnate, and his philosophy was the second attempt of the seduction of the devil after the first seduction of Adam in paradise. Bacon’s philosophy is the exact antithesis of revealed religion. This world alone is its object, as the command of God to Adam. Moral philosophy according to Bacon is man’s persistence in Adam’s first transgression of the command of God not to taste the fruit of the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil, hence undesirable. Where do the followers of revealed religion then stand? Some will not believe in my word. They cannot believe that Bacon or any one could have given such philosophy without being challenged. I say: I am not playing any conjuring trick upon any one. Let this beguiled world read Bacon’s works, “Advancement of Learning”, and “Novum Organum”, and see for themselves. Both these works are extant as yet. Others will take to explanations, that only a race of doomed people could entertain. If, however, the Baconian Philosophy is behind the veils, this Baconian progress that has risen on the principles of Bacon’s philosophy is before the eyes of everyone. Yet the doomed race has been so blinded by the gravity of their impending doom that in this age of critical analysis, men even of the calibre of Bertrand Russel have stopped short without ever reaching the actual heart of the philosophy of this Baconian progress.

    I will in the following describe and analyze this Baconian progress. Every reader is supposed to see for himself the antitheses existing between the doctrines of revealed religion and the Baconian philosophy and its Baconian progress. If no one has been able to analyze this Baconian progress as was the need, and if the men of the calibre of Russel have failed in this, they are not to blame. None could simply do this. Such is the maze. I have done it, because my eye has been opened by the supernatural agency of the Quran, and Remember ! I have been assigned Abrahamic Mission and the Abrahamic Mission of exposing this Baconian seduction to save this world from the atomic ruin. The Quran and the other revealed Scriptures and science has been my light. And I have revealed to this world the miracles of the Quran, miracles which no scientist, and no sceptics could deny with reason. I have been allocated the duty of exposing the reality to save this world form the atomic hell which is the logical consequence of this Baconian progress, and I have to give this world the Islamic Economic System which counteracts the Communistic Economic System and could save this world from being obliged to fall in the clutches of Communism, for economic justice. I can be but brief here, therefore listen if you want to avoid the most grievous, most painful, and most disgraceful universal end in the burning flames of atomic hell, namely the atomic bombs and atomic radiations.

    THE DOCTRINE OF BACON’S PHILOSOPHY

    (a) Bacon’s philosophy is the philosophy of the attainment of man’s dominion over nature through continuous, systematic, organized research of Science, for material advantage of mankind in general, as the actual destiny of man and in compliance with the express command of God, without any regard for the next world, or spiritual or moral factor. Not only this, but that the moral philosophy is forbidden as man’s persistence in Adam’s first transgression of God’s command, not to taste the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Man according to Bacon instead of remaining content with the pursuit of natural philosophy (Science), took to the pursuit of moral philosophy merely in order to give himself the law.

    Now this is a philosophy as exact antithesis to every revealed religion. Where do the believers in Christianity, in Islam, in Hinduism, and in Buddhism now stand. Moral philosophy is the basis of revealed religion. Natural philosophy is only a secondary necessity. If any one says we have no connection with this philosophy, and we do believe in the doctrine of our own religion. We have not so much as ever heard of such a nasty philosophy, then be sure without any doubt, that you are the follower of this very nasty philosophy to the letter and in the most practical sense of the word as a proof of your ignorance. You are all down to your necks in this Modern progress. This modern progress is based on the very principles of Bacon’s philosophy in deed and in spirit. If any one swallows poison then whether he knows the characteristics of that poison or not, the poison readily takes its course and shows its effects.

    (b) This modern progress is aimed at the attainment of man’s dominion over nature through science for the material advantage for mankind in general. It is science-guided. It is systematic. It is organized. It is continuous. It is ever-increasing and it is infinite. It will increase occupying gradually more and more of man’s mind, time, energy, activity, and expelling proportionally from man’s mind and time, energy and activity the thought of the other world and religion. And because it is infinite, it will go on increasing ad-infinitum till it has expelled the thought of the otherworld and religion utterly, entirely, completely. This process is not difficult for any one to observe for himself, unless indeed any one is blinded by the influence of the grievous atomic doom. The result of science-religion-conflict is before the eyes of this world. How science has gradually prevailed, and how Christian religion has gradually declined to its disappearance. And if you think that a break could be applied to this progress at any desirable point to maintain the balance, you are mistaken. If it had been then possible, then there is no more urgent occasion to apply the breaks than it is now, when this world is being obliged to adopt so certainly universally ruinous an energy as the atomic energy. And if it is thought that some precaution or protection will be found against the hazards of atomic energy, then it is a dream which has no interpretation other than the flames of the atomic hell, and this point too I will prove to you scientifically. But see how helplessly this mankind is now caught. To ban atomic energy means the cessation of all industrial activity, for other sources of energy are exhausting, and to adopt it means inevitable and universal atomic ruin of this entire world. That this Baconian progress is unproportional to the basic design of creation is proved by the fact, that it has devoured up all the resources of this earth in unproportionally greater amounts and with unproportional rapidity, so that it has obliged this helpless mankind now to adopt atomic energy willy-nilly. In normal, pre-modern circumstances these resources could have sufficed for millions of years. And do you suppose any religion can allow this sort of progress, that will gradually expel religion from man’s mind. That religion which is willing to sign its own warrants of exile could only allow this kind of progress or affect a compromise with it. Either this progress therefore or religion. But the logical and scientific end of this progress is the universal atomic conflagration. Bacon was a man whose heart was eaten up with the love of wealth. His philosophy is only the echo. Read his history by Macaulay.

    (c) The doctrine of man’s dominion over nature as man’s destiny has inspired man with pride. Man has set himself as a God in this world against God, with the goal of self-sufficiency in view, and with ever-decreasing dependence on God and ever-increasing dependence on Science.

    This mankind has as a result of this modern progress been transformed, not into natural saints as Bacon had thought but into clouds of locusts constantly moving onward, and devouring up all that came in their way, and tending toward the region of atomic germicide to be sprayed with, to final extinction, greed, selfishness, slander, mistrust is the rule ever-increasing. Frustration, anarchy, and disappointment is the result of Baconian progress. Charity, humility, brotherhood, and humanity is fast dwindling. The end now appears nigh at hand.

    (d) The Baconian doctrine of man’s dominion over nature appears after some success with steam and electricity to be stuck up in the field of atomic science. This field has appeared as beyond man’s ken and power. Man appears but a tiny dwarf against this giant atumbumb and will certainly be consumed by the giant’s fiery breath. This I say on sure knowledge of science. The doctrine of the research of science evidently has fallen as the liability of science in the field of atomic phenomenon. The idea of material advantage for mankind in general, and the consequent view of self-sufficiency too has been digested by man’s infinite stomach for more. The notion of more production has taken to the principle of fission chain reaction with more consumption. The signs are that in an atmosphere of ever-dwindling natural resources and ever-intensifying appetite, this mankind will eventually turn cannibal falling on each other like hungry wolves and tearing each other to bits. Distressed mankind, disappointed by the accumulative tendencies of Capitalism etc. and enticed by the apparent sense of equality in Communism might be enticed to take refuge in Communism, but only to meet yet another disappointment. No economic system whatsoever could give relief to the people in the presence of this Baconian progress. And neither religion nor scepticism could alter the fact that of the logical end of this Baconian progress in the flames of atomic Hell. And woe upon woe, the knowledge has lost its aim and it has been reduced merely to the position of an instrument of material gain. Man has been transformed into wisdomized beast, an earth-devouring worm in fever.

    CHAPTER-2
    UNIVERSAL MISUNDERSTANDINGS REGARDING THE BACONIAN PROGRESS

    (a) BACON’S MISUNDERSTANDINGS:-

    Bacon was himself the first man who misunderstood his own philosophy. He miserably failed in the realization of the effects of his philosophy. As far as the end of his philosophy in the flames of atomic hell is concerned, it was not in his or any other human’s power to anticipate. The Quran only has worked this miracle. Bacon cautioned his followers to avoid the tendency of falling into immediate gain and forgot the exclusively material nature of a philosophy he gave to mankind. And although his philosophy has left every other philosophy far behind as far as the point of prevalence is concerned, ….since it has encompassed the entire globe, ……yet the hopes of Bacon of a world full of natural saints as a result of his philosophy have been utterly falsified.

    (b) CHRISTIAN MISUNDERSTANDINGS:-

    Christians could not have been involved in any misunderstanding about Bacon’s philosophy, but the deplorable and unbearable state of their religion doctrinally, and the extreme tyranny, greed and hypocrisy of their priests pressed them into the field of Bacon’s philosophy.

    (c) MUSLIMS’ MISUNDERSTANDINGS:

    That the taste of this Baconian progress is sweet, is equally pleasant to the Muslims and they find no harm in it with a clear conscience. They seek the justification of the Baconian progress through Ghaur-e-fil-Aaayat, that is the Quran’s appeals for contemplating the works of God, and through Taskhir-il-Kayinnaat: that is the signs in the Quran touching the serviceability of the Universe to man. And this justification is utterly and entirely wrong specially when it is viewed in the context of this Baconian progress and the Baconian philosophy. There are numerous signs appearing in the Quran that exhort to contemplate the works of Allah, yet there is not one of them that has to do anything at all with the material exploitation of the works of God. They rather are meant to discover the purpose of creation, and the certainty of he event of resurrection and the remembrance of Allah and His religion, and have the spiritual cast. In order to find the error, the Muslims have to compare the object of the Quranic contemplation of the works of God with the Baconian object of the contemplation of the works of God, which latter is purely the material exploitation of the works of God. As far as the point of Tashkir-e-Kayinaat from Quranic point of view is concerned, clearly it is Allah himself that may be heard in every instance claiming the credit of rendering this universe serviceable to man, and expecting in return man’s gratitude for the favour. Not so much as a hint is there at the emulation, dominion or material exploitation in connection with man for whom is only utility. This point of Taskhir-e-Kayinaat in the Quran may with propriety be linked to the question of dominion. It is Allah therein who seems to be claiming the right of dominion over the forces of nature as against Bacon’s right of man’s dominion. Reading the Quran with these points in view will clear the misunderstanding quite easily. Clearly it is the object of the Quran that has to be seen against the object of bacon and the decision then will clearly appear without ambiguity. I am here telling the pure view of the Quran which may be read by any one, and I have to pay no regard to the circumstantial difficulties or unavoidable necessities of any one. These difficulties and necessities have been created as a result of a wrong philosophy and therefore cannot count in factual analysis of the subject. Another misunderstanding of the Muslims which deserves notice is about the atomic bomb and the atomic energy. The atomic bomb is not merely a larger bomb and atomic energy is not only an energy. The atomic bomb according to the scientist is a means of complete annihilation of life on earth, while according to the Quran both the atomic bomb and the atomic energy are the atomic hell (Hotama). Atomic bomb is not a weapon of war, that which the Quran has enjoined the Muslims regarding the preparedness of arms do not apply to atomic bomb. It is not a weapon. It is the wrath of Allah, enkindled as retribution. Knowledge is yet another object of misunderstanding in which the Muslims are involved. Again the case is of ignoring the object. The object of that knowledge which Islam has enjoined has to be seen against the object of Baconian knowledge “Seek knowledge to please Allah only”, Said the Holy Prophet. The question is whether this Baconian knowledge is being sought to please Allah or is it to please the stomach. This progress now is fallen in the eddy, and it is now regression and not progression. It now is the case of worst superstition.

    (d) THE MISUNDERSTANDINGS OF HINDUS:

    Hindus do exalt in their allegation, that their remote ancestors had flown in Palankeens and that Germans had taken all their knowledge of science from Hindu Vedas. What these Hindus have to be reminded of is that this modern palankeen of Baconian progress crashes right into the Promanu narq, that is the atomic hell.

    CHAPTER-3
    ANTI-CHRISTIC FEATURES OF THIS BACONIAN CULTURE

    I say not to you this Baconian culture is the same Massih-id-Dajjal (lying, swindling, simulating Christ) as was predicted and described by the Holy Prophet of Islam (peace be upon him) in an amazing prophecy, But what I can say, and which could be observed by anyone, is that this Baconian culture shows all those characteristic features which were assigned by the Prophet to Massi-id-Dajjal. And further that even if it were not that donkey-ridden left eyed monster actually, yet judging from its anti-religious nature and its highly destructive features it is incumbent on the believer as well as the non-believer to combat it and eradicate it, before it has destroyed, faith, health, wealth, life etc. of this world. It has to be noted that the Biblic word is Antichrist. The easiest thing on earth is to show this Baconian culture as Anti-Christic, for it stands in radical opposition to the views of Christ. Christ preached resurrection and otherworld. Bacon preached this world alone. Christ’s world was spiritual. The world of Bacon is material. But the term Massih-id-Dajjal as was used by the Holy Prophet of Islam (peace be upon him) has many facets. That is, it appears as Christ but is lying Christ and only simulates Christ. It appears in the garb of Christ and appealingly does that which Christ did, yet is a liar, swindler, and stands in radical opposition to Christ at the same time. Following are the corroborative features between the Massih-id-Dajjal as were described by the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) and this Baconian culture:-

    (a) Because this Baconian culture, and this Baconian philosophy and this modern philosophy and this modern science are all exclusively of materialistic nature and are all devoid of spiritual factor or other-worldliness completely, these may be regarded as blind of right eye that of spiritualism, and have only the left eye that of Materialism. This science it must be known is blind of spiritual side completely. Its region is confined to five senses only. And the Masish-id-Dajaal has been described by the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) as left-eyed with his right eye blind.

    (b) This Baconian progress is concerned basically with food and necessities of life, wherever it goes it procures food and other necessities of life. And Massih-id-Dajjal is said to be riding his donkey and carrying during his world tour baskets filled with loaves, and distributing among his believers.

    (c) It is said that canals of water will move along with him. He will order the crop to grow and it will grow up. He will command the cloud and it will rain. The same may be seen in the case of this Baconian progress. See the canals everywhere, and fast growing crops and the artificial rain made from the clouds.

    (d) They who follow the Baconian culture and take to Baconian progress are better off materially than those who keep away from it. Massihi-id-Dajjal is said to be favouring his followers and being hard on disasters.

    (e) That, Messih-id-Dajjal shall tour entire earth and will hold a sway throughout. The same is the case of this Baconian culture and this Baconian progress. There is not a nook, nor a corner of this world, where this Baconian progress does not hold its sway.

    (f) That, Messihi-d-Dajjal will first claim to be a prophet and afterwards will claim Godhead. This Baconian culture first arose as a prophet of the material world, and now its dominion over the world is as of God himself. This world now has more dependence on and confidence in Baconian progress and science than it appears to have on God or in God.

    (g) Massihid-Dajjal will have his own paradise and hell. But his paradise will in fact be hell, and his hell paradise. This Baconian culture has its worldly material kind of a paradise on earth. Yet it is a hell of misery, frustration, worry, anarchy and discontentment. Its hell is the place of religious people in poverty. But that in fact is the paradise. Its paradise, however, now not only has been changed into a cultural hell but is within the range of atomic hell for retribution.

    (h) It is said, that the believer in Allah will at once recognize the Messiah-id-Dajjal and read on his forehead the letters K.F.R. (infidel) written, even if that believer will be illiterate. The infidels, however, will not be able to recognize him, nor will read the letters K.F.R. even if literate. Today they only will recognize the Dajjallian reality of this Baconian culture and its progress whose heart is illuminated with the light of faith, even if they are completely illiterate. Knowledge is not proving to be a means of judging the reality of this Baconian culture and its progress. Even the most learned may be seen praising it.

    (i) A very distinctive feature of this Baconian culture is its peculiar means of transport and conveyance. In every pre-modern age from the beginning of mankind, beast was the means of conveyance, and donkey was the symbol. This age alone has devised its own means of conveyance mechanically. In this context and very conspicually this age stands in manifest contrast with every previous age. It has its mechanical donkey against biological donkey. Massihi-id-Dajjal has been described as riding his donkey and touring the world. This Baconian culture may be seen riding its mechanical donkey and touring over the entire earth.

    (j) It is said, that Massih-id-Dajal will be too bewitching, irresistibly indeed. He only will be saved from his enchantment who will take refuge in the Mosque. Today Islam’s jurisdiction could be found only within the mosque. Islam itself is confined to the spiritual sector, and its sway is restricted to the spiritual matters only. The entire field of material affairs is governed by the Baconian culture.

    (k) It is said, the Messih-id-Dajjal will be of the Jews. Apparently this Baconian culture is the culture of the Jews. And the Jew is the master, the leader, the guide of this Baconian age.
    Now let us see how this Baconian culture simulates Christ. That is it appears in the grab of Christ and appears to do what Christ did.

    (a) Christ worked miracles. So does this Baconian culture. See the miracles of Science.

    (b) Christ cured lepers, restored sight to the blind, made the lame walk, and raised the dead, so does this Baconian culture although its efforts to raise the dead have not hitherto been crowned with success.

    (c) Christ fed multitude of thousands and filled them all merely with a few loaves and a few fish miraculously. This Baconian culture too has its foremost activity to provide people with food. This culture actually is the culture of food exclusively.

    (d) Christ walked on water. The Baconian culture has caused the iron to float on water in the form of sea-ships.

    (e) Christ made birds of clay and caused them to fly. Baconian culture has made aeroplanes.

    (f) Christ heard the voice from the other world. Baconian culture has invented Radio.

    Yet despite this identity there exists complete antithesis between the Christ’s works and those of this Baconian culture. Namely, that whereas Christ did every thing through spiritual agency and proved the otherworldliness, this Baconian culture does every thing through material agency and proves this world. The hawk and the vulture both fly in the same atmosphere, yet their worlds are different. The Baconian culture has destroyed the spiritual world of Christ. Christ preached resurrection and points upward towards Heaven. Bacon preached this world and points downward toward the earth.

    After this it may be seen, that the death of both the Messih-id-Dajjal and this Baconian culture bears resemblance. Messiah-id- Dajjal, it is said will be killed by Jesus Christ. The death of this Baconian culture too can be caused by the breath of otherworldliness of Jesus Christ. This feature, that of the otherworldliness is to be seen redundant in the Quran throughout. It is, the necessity of this age, that this feature is to be discerned In the Quran. So also it is necessary to discover the resemblance between Al-Samari and the modern scientist, and between the work of Al-Samari and that of the modern scientists. Some of the authentic commentators of the Holy Quran have suggested that Dajjal (Anti-Christ) will appear among the Jews to complete the work of Al-Samari. It may also be noted that this Baconian culture is the culture of the jews. The jew is leader, the guide, the master, the model and the specimen of this Baconian age. It is the age of Jew peculiarly.

    CHAPTER-4
    THE PRESENT STATE OF ATOMIC SCIENCE

    People’s infinite faith and confidence in science, and boundless optimism of the scientist in the future possibilities of nuclear science are no more than dreams whose interpretation is no other than the utter atomic ruin of this world in the flames of the atomic hell. The atomic science has approached the blind. No protection is possible against the atomic bomb. Nor there is any possibility of providing any means of protection to the neighbouring districts of the reactor, against radiations of the exploding reactors. No leak-proof and explosion-proof reactors have been designed. Any reactor can leak or explode any moment and innundate the neighbouring districts with ruinous radiations. In fact every reactor has to end its natural life of forty years in explosion.

    Radiation is invisible, undetectable and the deadliest of poison. It can kill on the spot, or after a few days of radiation sickness, and it produces cancer. The worst features of radiation, however, are its genetic effects that are irreversible and irreparable. Radiation mutates genes. The mutated gene is transferred from generation to generation secretly, till in some future generation it manifests its existence in the form of abnormal birth. This abnormality being inheritable, the monster begets alike monsters. The kinds of abnormalities being increased through marriage, considerable proportions of populations are involved in abnormalities, and the animals and plants sharing the same destiny, populations after existing as monstrous cancer-ridden-chimeras, that is animals with a medley of organs of various animals assembled in one animal, would perish in misery. This may amount to complete extinction of life on earth, and nothing could be done.

    Atomic radiation is harmful to health in any amount, and radiation is inherent in atomic energy. There is no protection against radiation and there is no sure cure as yet discovered for radiation sickness, nor is any in sight. Man from the beginning to the end regarding the effects o radiation is helpless. As far as the somatic effects of radiation are concerned, man is only a helpless spectator from the attack of radiation to death or survival of the patient. So also is man helpless in genetic effects of radiation. Mutated gene can neither be detected nor destroyed. After it has manifested itself in the form of abnormal birth there could nothing be done to the final extinction of life on this planet. Nay, even the permissive dose of radiation is based not on certainty. It might be erroneous and prove disastrous to mankind ultimately. But unfortunately the experiment of radiation is such that the result of this universal adoption of atomic-energy-for-peace, employing human race as guinea-pigs may appear soon or after generations in the form of destruction. Let the radiation be made innocuous first and then only atomic-energy-for-peace recommended by the scientist to avoid universal atomic suicide, for, the experiment or radiation is such that its result needs a passage of generations to appear, and again this experiment is such that its result is final. The die is finally cast. Nothing therefore could be done. Mankind is forever lost. These things are not known to the generality of the people. And if they are told they will not be willing to believe. Thus will this mankind fall into the ruin through ignorance, and misunderstanding and helplessness.

    This is the actual state to which this mankind is playing blind, both knowingly and in helplessness. If I were a scientist I would say, move on one step further. And the destination is there in the complete annihilation and the silence of the grave. If I were a philosopher, I would take the tragedy philosophically. I would analyze the affair and repeat the proverb, as you shall sow, so shall you reap, and then fall into silence. But mine is a different role, namely to burn myself in the flames of atomic hell in order to warn and save others.

    CHAPTER-5
    THE END OF BACONIAN PHILOSOPHY

    No alternative now is left for this Baconian mankind, but either to suddenly perish under the hails of atomic bombs deservedly, or to perish slowly, lingeringly miserably in an atmosphere of Radiation of the atomic-energy-for-peace, deservedly. The world-wide monuments of science, appearingly so formidable, so deep-rooted, can vanish as if by the magic wand in the event of atomic war, or they could be left deserted as a memorial of the follies of a race after life on earth has become extinct through the radiation of the atomic-energy-for-peace. This Baconian progress will now see its end. If atomic energy is banned, this progress will come to its end because of no energy. If atomic energy is adopted it will bring about the destruction of this progress. And judge not the situation at present when but a few reactors function throughout the world. This earth in the future age of atomic-energy-for-peace will be found covered with the constant bonfire of radiations of exploding reactors when every power-house, factory, ship, aeroplane, railway engine, even every private car will be fitted with independent reactor, for, atomic energy only and no other kind of energy will be available then in this world.

    And look at this universal experiment of adopting the atomic energy on the principle of utility-cum-research, in which human species is being employed as guinea-pigs, while no protection is there against the eternally and universally ruinous effects of radiations. It is certainly to end in complete ruin of life on earth after a miserable spell of existence of sick, cancer-ridden and monstrous species of animals and plants on earth. And once this mankind has adopted the atomic energy, and radiation has started its effects, then even abandoning it will be of no avail, for, its long-term genetic effects will bring about the ruin of life on earth. The dispersal of radioactive materials on earth will render this earth inhabitable and unable to grow any thing for millions of years. If the people of this world had known these facts and had imagination strong enough to form a picture of the miseries and afflictions of mankind that resulted from the adoption of the atomic-energy-for-peace, then the scene would appear to them as a herd of mad lunatics worse than the Darwinian brood, and there is no doubt that they would rush out tearing their garments, yelling and crying toward wilderness. I can see the state of future mankind in a picture far clearer than the picture of that universe which appeared in Einstein’s’ mind, and yet, if I persist in a composed state of mind, it is a marvel I carry this mountain like a mountain, and it is only due to the grace of Almighty Allah. O! Ungrateful mankind ! Pay heed to my word and be saved. I am telling you that which you cannot know after a life passed in Universities. My reward is with my Allah. My request to you is only to utilize this invaluable light.

    I only have to make a request to the atomic scientist namely that let not this atomic energy be given into the service of mankind, until means of protection are provided to the millions living in the neighborhood of reactors, and, radiation is subjected to control, and sure cure for radiation sickness and means of detecting and destroying the mutated genes are discovered. Let the scientist realize that he is guilty of gross violation of the general rules of the methodology of science in giving a harmful natural force into man’s service before any control on it. For this capital felony the scientist may be sued in the court of science, and the sentence would be only equal to the dire consequences of his neglect, a neglect whose consequence may certainly amount to burning, all mankind alive against the burning alive of one Scientist, namely Bruno. If however, any scientist in this world would think of the facts given by me in any way false, exaggerated or having in any way a resemblance of the views of the alarmist, let him speak, for I will give no one a chance of hiding. This is a question of life and death of mankind and so it is to me, and now no more fooling and no more folly. Let the matter be cleared, for the margin left is too narrow. Call it a request, a demand, command, a challenge or anything that you wish. This mankind is being cheated out of its life, deservedly though. It is my duty to warn this world in the light of the Quran and science, and I will grudge nothing. I am willing to go to any extreme. Death incurred for this cause, or persecution is worth the cause. Stand up ! Therefore and answer before you are flung into the roaring flames of the atomic hell. I am no victim of hallucinations. It is noting hallucinatory in that which I have ever uttered. I stand on the solid grounds of knowledge and on the bottom rock of truth. But if the gravity of the theme, that renders me anxious, even panicky due to my apprehensions of the deafness and blindness of the present generation to my case, if this world does not appear grateful for my pains, it might hurt my feelings, yet it cannot affect my sense of duty and my mission. If I die, and am destined to have a grave, my grave will cry against this play of atomic ruin of mankind. May my Allah help me in my ordeal. It is too heavy for me. And remember it is not only the matter of this transient world. If it had been so, I perhaps had assumed reticence in the face of unrelenting opposition and died heart-broken. Nay, but this atomic problem is extended to the external world. There the eternal atomic hell called by the Quran as Hotama awaits those who deservedly perished in this world in the atomic hell, or deserved but escaped, for, the causes of the appearance of this temporal atomic hell, and those of the punishment in eternal Hotama of the next world are the same. And thus even if this temporal atomic hell is avoided, it is not possible to escape the eternal Hotama of the next world. That is what makes me panicky, for, I have a firm faith in resurrection.

    CHAPTER-6
    THE QURAN PREDICTS, CHARACTERIZES AND AVERTS THE ATOMIC HELL

    That a scripture fourteen centuries ago, should characterize the Baconian philosophy of a modern atomism and the modern Baconian progress, at a time when neither a trace of ancient Greek atomism was to be found in this world, nor were there any signs of its future revival any where in any part of this world, and should at the same time characterize the modern atomic phenomenon, giving out such characteristics of atomic phenomenon as distinctively distinguish the atomic phenomenon from every other phenomenon, chemical, electrical, portraying the phenomenon of atomic bomb explosion, and strangely and phonetically calling the atomic fire by the same name as the modern scientist has given, that is Hotama or Otama would come not merely as a surprise, or a wonder, but rather a miracle manifest and at least as great as raising the dead, if not greater. And that the Quran infer the appearance of atomic bomb and atomic radiations from the characteristics of Baconian culture, giving out the atomic hell as the consequence of the characteristics of Baconian progress is a priori for no human intellect, not even a Plato or an Aristotle. Both these prominent intellects of all human history having been antagonistic toward the ancient Greek atomism in their time had themselves exerted against atomism, yet if they ever would happen to read this inference of the Quran, they would fall on their faces before the Allah of the Quran and worship in wonder at such unique marvel of intelligence. The most beneficial side of this miraculous prophecy of the Quran is the revelation of the causes of the appearance of atomic hell which the Quran has enumerated, for, it is by removing them that the threat of atomic annihilation could be averted and it is only by the removal of these causes that the danger of atomic ruin could be removed. And there is no other way. The scientist and the politician is completely helpless in this matter. Following is the translation of the full text of the prophecy of the Quran. Every one is requested to read it carefully and then find out for himself, how much of nuclear science could have been found in these few words of the Quran. Now that I have revealed this secret. To me the explanation of these 36 words has cast three thousand pages, about nine hundred thousand words in English, and decades of toil and labour day in day out. It was my own discovery by the Grace of Allah and I had no fore-runner in this field and no model. The Quran says:-

    “Woe to every backbiter, defamer, who amaseth wealth (of this world) and arrangeth it (against the future). He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal. Nay, for verily he will be cast into Al-hotama (the crusher), and what could teach thee what al-Hotama (the crusher) is? It is fire of Allah enkindled, which leapeth up onto the hearts. It is (a fire) closed in on them in outstretched columns”.(Quran- 104- Al-Homaza).

    Following are the prominent features of Quran’s warning:-

    (a) It is the only guidance for mankind to escape the atomic doom. Scientists and politicians are helpless.
    (b) This is a miracle which neither the scientist nor the sceptic can find a reason to deny or refute, even though science has neither belief nor sight in the miraculous or supernatural.
    (c) It is the first time in the history of this modern age, that the Quran has exposed the true reality of Baconain philosophy, and Baconian progress, and the logical and scientific hazards impending on them and it appears impossible to reach the heart of the ultimate reality without reading this analysis by the Quran. Russell himself appears to be approaching the reality but viewing the outward ripples of the inward trouble, and seeing the danger in war only. They who prescribe more production as the remedy of the Baconian ills appear only adding fuel to the kiln in order to extinguish the fire. The Quran has diagnosed the disease aright and has prescribed the correct remedy, namely, the complete eradication of this Baconian progress. No movement against the atomic threat could be successfully or effectively conducted except by adopting the guidelines given by the Quran in its warning.
    (d) Endeavours to revive religion in this Baconially entangled culture and in the presence of this ever-increasing progress, will be of dubious and partial success. Religion will find difficulties presented by this Baconian system and will have to contend with the ever–increasing attention of its votaries fixed on the progress. And it will be observed, that religion was proving ineffective in this world’s gradual drift toward the atomic hell. And when Atomic hell will come, it will neither leave the religion, nor its votaries. The revivers of religion, therefore must understand this warning of the Quran and work and their programme in the light of its guidelines.

    (e) This warning of the Quran is the Noah’s Ark in this fiery deluge of modern atomism, and is like the Rod of Moses for these inventions of science.

    (f) This prophetic warning about the atomic hell has furnished, undeniable and irrefutable proof of the divine original of the Quran. None but Allah could know these facts fourteen centuries ago.

    Read the following prophecy with care and try to find out for yourself any resemblance between the description of Al-Hotama as is given by the Quran and the characteristics of atomic fire.The Quran has said:-

    “Woe unto every backbiter, defamer, who amaseth wealth (of this world) and arrangeth it (against the future). He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal. Nay, for verily he will be cast into Al-Hotama. And what could teach you what Al-Hotama is? It is fire of Allah enkindled which leaps up onto the hearts. It is (a fire) closed in on them in outstretched columns”. (Quran- CIV- Al-Homaza)

    This prophecy about Al-Hotama has existed in the Quran ever since its revelation. I found it to be applicable to the atomic hell of this world according to the characterization of the phenomenon, and according to the causes of the appearance of the phenomenon. This is my own discovery. None in the world knew it. And the entire work on it is exclusively my own.

    The atomic energy is of recent origin against the chemical and electrical energy. Atomic energy has certain basic distinctive characteristics in comparison to other types of energy. These characteristics distinguish the atomic energy from other types of energy. The Quran has treated the subject of nuclear phenomenon and has described the basic distinctive characteristics of atomic energy, and has called it Al-Hotama, a hell of the next eternal world and therefore itself eternal. The atomic hell of this temporal world is the temporal representation of the Hotama of the next eternal world just as ordinary fire is the temporal representation of the hell of the next eternal world in general, and so also is garden the representation of the paradise of the next eternal world. The Quran has claimed to contain every example for mankind. If then the example of the destruction of the Froward tribes of Sodom and Gomorrah have found a mention in the Quran, how it could be expected that the destruction by the atomic hell should be omitted therefrom. What was the destruction of those little tribes against this universal destruction by the atomic hell, and what was the torture of those condemned tribes against the torment and the torture and suffering caused by the atomic hell. Some may be cast into the atomic hell undeservedly along with those deserving ones, but then God has the power and the mercy to compensate this loss in the next world. According to the Quran, causes of the punishment in al-Hotama are slander, wealth accumulation and the belief in the eternity of the life of this world, that is a solicitude in the durability of the material works of this world as if one hoped to live here for ever.

    Belief or disbelief is not the consideration in this particular matter. The stay of the believer, however, in the Hotama will be as long as Allah will wish, but the disbeliever shall have to remain therein forever eternally. Now not only the characteristics of Hotama are identical with those of the atomic fire, but also the causes which the Quran has given out as the causes of the punishment in Al-Hotama are identical with the causes of the appearance of atomic fire with all its brood of manifestations. And the Quran only is that which has pointed towards the right direction for the remedy, otherwise all the various stages of this age are giving out more production as the remedy as if the addition of fuel could be prescribed as the extinguishing agent in case of a raging fire. This prophetic warning of the Quran has to be taken as the conclusive argument of the providence to mankind, and indeed as the last and the only ray of hope. No power on earth can save now this world from atomic destruction except by the removal of those causes which the Quran has given out as the causes of the punishment in Al-Hotama and subsequently of the appearance of the atomic hell namely the atomic bombs and the atomic radiations on this earth.

    For me now is to prove that the basic characteristics of atomic fire are the basic characteristics of Al-Hotama and vice versa. And that he causes of the punishment in Al-Hotama are the causes of the appearance of atomic energy on earth. It is surprising to note that the characteristics of Al-hotama given by the Quran are those characteristics of atomic fire which distinguish it from other types of fire either in principle or in some cases in degree. Again and surprising it is that a scripture should predict describe and warn against the atomic hell fourteen centuries ago in an age of no science. Though the professional appreciation of the prophecy is reserved for the scientists and the philosophers yet no little surprise is there for the layman. What would have been the state of the mind of an Einstein at the nuclear description of the atomic fire by the Quran, is not very difficult to guess. He simply would not believe his eyes and his ears first and then he would be lost in reverie, for it was for a mind of the level of Einstein not only to understand the exact nature of the description of the characteristics, but also to have some view of the extent of the nuclear knowledge of that mind which had made the prediction. Indeed if the human knowledge of nuclear science today or ever after be regarded as a lamp, the knowledge of the Quran in this respect appears as a distinct luminous star which is visible in any part of the universe, to guide the sailor and the astronaut, or the solitary traveler lost in the desert.

    MUTUAL CORROBORATION OF HOTAMA AND ATOMIC HELL.

    Following is the description of the fire of Hotama given by the Quran:-
    A ” It is Hotama”.
    B ” It is fire of Allah enkindled, which leapeth upon the hearts. It is a fire closed in on them in outstretched columns”
    Following then are the characteristics:-
    1 That it is Hotama. Hotama means a crusher.
    2 That it is fire and is the fire of Allah.
    3 That it leaps up unto the hearts.
    4 That it shows encompassing characteristics and it raises columns

    We will now treat each point individually to show these characteristics as shown by the atomic fire;-

    (I) THE QURAN SAYS ” HOTAMA” THAT IS A CRUSHER.

    The atomic fire and nuclear phenomenon both are crushers. The Quran has used the word Hotama. Hotama is a qualitative noun formed from the root-verb Hatama which means to ” break any thing to pieces”. Hotama thus means “a crusher”. The sound of the word Hotama recalls to our mind the word Atoma. Mark the phonetic resemblance between the two, though one is the pure Arabic and the other is an adoption from the Greek word Atomos which means uncutable. The word Atom thus has assumed the meaning opposed to the word Hotama which means ” to break something to pieces”. Yet both basically are concerned with the same action, that of breaking. The scientist does not need to be reminded that the word atom is a misnomer, for atom has been cut and deserves no more to be called as atom. The scientist had after breaking the atom assembled and discussed the inconsistency, yet after some discussion they left the word atom as it were. This particular point that of the retention of the word atom may or may not be of any particular scientific interest to our theme, yet this phonetic resemblance of the two words, Hatam and atom adds some interest in a way. It may serve as the formula of open sesame to the gate of that great atomic mystery that lay concealed in the words of the prophecy. We will not show that the atomic energy from its beginning that is its generation to the last reactions of its radiation is a series of crushing (breakings):-

    (1) The atomic energy is the binding energy of the atom: The binding of the atom which keeps the nucleons of the atomic nucleus packed close together is broken and energy is released. Thus the binding of the atomic nucleus is crushed and the energy is released. No match stick, no sparkling system, no fuel is required to produce atomic fire. This is the distinguishing feature of atomic fire to distinguish it from any other type of fire. No other type of fire is ignited in this manner.

    (2) Atomic fire is an absolute crusher. It has to be observed that the crushing is done by the consumption of chemical fire too, but with the difference that whereas in the case of chemical fire the nuclei of the atoms remain untouched and intact so that there is the possibility of the reproduction of the substance so consumed by some synthetical method, there, in the case of the atomic disintegration the nuclei of the atoms are so disintegrated as there is no possibility hitherto of the nuclear rearrangement, for, the basic nuclear structure of atoms is crushed. Again we see that the atomic radiation attacks the nucleus of the cell, and there breaks the chromosomes. A work which could not be performed by the chemical fire. Thus because the atomic fire destroys the nuclear structure of atom which is called the basic building block of the universe, and it also destroys the nucleus of the cell which is called the basic unit of life, the atomic phenomenon could be termed as absolute fire.

    (3) All the three manifestations of the atomic bomb explosion, namely, initial heat-radiation, blast, and nuclear radiations are the crusher. The initial heat-radiation crushes the hearts of its victims at the time of explosion though it has not the time enough to burn them, and so it kills them through shock. The blast as the name implies is the blast and it crushes the strongest buildings to dust. The raditions do so as is their wont. They crush the atomic nuclei of the inanimate matter, thus producing changes in the order of the atomic nuclei to cause transmutations. In the living bodies, they crush the nucleons out of the atomic nuclei and in the cell nuclei they crush the chromosomes.

    (4) The atomic radiations as the crusher:-

    Radiations knock out electrons from the atoms, and they eject nucleons from the atomic nuclei and they cause transmutations of atoms by crushing and changing the order of the atomic nuclei, as has been mentioned above.

    (5) The atomists mark the crushing trait of atomic energy. Mark the terms like bombarding, crushing, smashing, hitting, breaking etc. in the explanation of the actions in the atomic process. When Germans named the continuous spectrum of rays as “Bremsstrahlung” which literally means “breaking radiation”, the term was regarded by the atomists as highly descriptive. The rushing attitude of Alpha Particles while bombarding the gold foil astonished Rutherford so much that he recorded it as the most incredible event that ever happened to him in his life:-
    “It was almost as incredible as if you fired a 15 inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you”.
    Wrote Rutherford in his diary.

    (6) Radiological terms indicative of the crushing trait of radiations:-
    The standard books of radio-biology may be found replete with phrases, similes and sentences like the following to indicate the crushing trait of the radiation: “the target concept, direct action, indirect action, snapping the cable with a bullet, breaking the chromosomes, radiations hit the cell like a sledge hammer and crush them etc.”.

    (II) THE QURAN SAYS ” HOTAMA IS A FIRE”:

    The atomic energy is fire too. Atomic energy from the beginning to the end is fire. In its generation stages it is heat. The initial heat radiation of the atomic bomb is fire. Radiations too are fire. Bequerrel, the discoverer of Radioactivity himself was the first to experience the burn on his skin, next to the pocket in which he had carried a phial of Radium. Edward Teller and Dr. Albert L.Latter wrote on page 156 of their book “Our Nuclear Future”, a vicious dragon (Reactor) will spit radioactive fire”. In X-ray therapy they use the term Cross fire of radiation. Chemical fire too is fire, but what is the chemical fire to the fire of atomic energy….which (latter) is of the order of millions of degrees and no container on earth could be found to contain it. Tremendous fires are started as a result of the tremendous heat spread in the atmosphere in the event of the explosion of the atomic bomb, yet such fires are not the part of the atomic explosion and are not to be treated as atomic, but are of chemical nature.

    (III) THE QURAN SAYS “HOTAMA IS A FIRE OF ALLAH”.

    Atomic fire too is the fire of retribution. Atomic fire has been discovered in the course of the research of science whose object it has been to gain dominion over nature for material benefit. The atomic fire therefore has appeared as retribution. It is not energy. It is destruction. And it is curse. The atomic bomb is not a weapon of defence but mankind is blinded by the excessive desire of wealth and physical comforts, and the doom is grievous.

    (IV) THE QURAN SAYS, ” HOTAMA IS A FIRE WHICH LEAPS UP UNTO THE HEARTS”.
    The atomic fire leaps up unto the nuclei:-

    (1) Nucleus and the Heart:-

    Now the Quran has used the word “Hearts”. while the scientist has coined the term ” Nucleus”. Identity therefore has to be found between the two words. These two words, the Nucleus and Heart are synonymous. The Arab Lexicographers have translated this modern word nucleus as heart and both show unmistakable characteristics and functional resemblance. Both are dedicate and sensitive. If they die, the body dies with them. We have to make no exertion in proving our point. The scientists themselves call the nucleus as heart and indeed orthodoxically, appropriately, and the practice is carried on in the standard textbooks of atomic physics. Edward teller in 1939 spoke of obtaining energy from the heart of atom in his lecture delivered on atomic energy (vide the Hydrogen bomb by James Sheply and Clay Blair Jr. Pages 18-49). And statements like the following could be found in the standard text books of atomic physics:-

    ” Each fast particle comes from the break up of very heart of a single atom—-the Nucleus—— of the radioactive material”.

    (Vide -Physics, Physical Science Study Committee second edition, D.C.Heath and Company Lexington, Massachusetts, July 1965 Page 360.
    And:-

    ” How many nuclear heart-beats are in the life-time of a radioactive nucleus which lasts only billionth of a second”.
    (Ibid- Page 21, Short Problems).

    Even the part of the reactor in which the process of atomic energy generation takes place is called as the heart of reactor (Vide Our Nuclear Future by Edward Teller and Dr. Albert L. Later. From the photograph of the Reactor).

    Thus the point of the Quran is proved by merely uttering the word Nuclear.

    (2) Nuclei that is Hearts involved in Atomic energy generation process:-

    The atomic energy generation, both in fission as well as fusion process, it is the nuclei of atoms that are involved. In Fission process the atomic particles leap up unto the nuclei that is the hearts of the atoms. While in the fusion process the nuclei that is hearts of atoms are crushed together, and energy is liberated. In fusion process the atomic fire obtained from the fission device is directed unto the nuclei of the fusile material. Thermonuclear process provides us with the clearest of the examples of the fire of atomic energy leaping up unto the nuclei that is the hearts. Inward fission device produces the necessary temperature and the heat is then directed unto the fusile material where it leaps up unto the nuclei of Hydrogen atoms and fuses them in groups of four. This is a distinguishing characteristic of the atomic phenomenon, for, in no other phenomenon the nucleus of the atom is involved. The scientists’ term “thermo-nuclear” is the scientific version of Quran’s expression, that is ” a fire which leaps up unto the hearts”.

    (3) Atomic Radiations to leap up unto the nuclei that is hearts:-

    (a) Effect of radiations in inanimate and living bodies:-

    The atomic radiations do characteristically attack the nuclei of the atoms of the material through which they pass. In inanimate matter they change the order of the nuclei of the atoms and thus cause transmutations. In living bodies they leap up unto the nuclei of the atoms and they eject nucleons therefrom. They attack the nucleus of the cell and break the chromosomes.

    (b) The effect of radiation is beyond the control of the brain at the level of the heart of life itself:-

    Radiations affect the coordination of the function at the level where it is beyond the control of the brain in a living body. It may be assumed that they attack at the very heart of the life itself.

    (c) Radiations’ exceptional attraction toward all that is related to the heart in the body:-

    Bone-marrow, and all blood forming organs, are more sensitive to the effect of radiation than the brain, the nerves and the muscles. The blood relation of bone-marrow, and blood-forming organs is obvious. Multi-cellular organisms are more sensitive to radiation than the unicellular organisms. The former have more elaborate and more perfect circulatory and respiratory systems than the latter. The relation of the circulatory and respiratory systems to heart through blood is a fact. These points have occurred to me please. Oxygen is related to heart through blood and the action of radiation in the absence of oxygen is retarded.

    (4) Heat-flash and Radiations of atomic bomb:-

    The Heat-flash of the atomic bomb explosion strikes the body of the exposed persons and having not enough time to penetrate beneath the skin, kills the heart, however, by the shock. The radiations of the atomic bomb explosion leap up unto the nuclei of the atoms as usual.

    (5) Nuclear and Thermonuclear Crusher:-

    Atomic fire because it leaps up unto the nuclei and crushes them, may be called as the nuclear crusher. And because in the thermonuclear process its fire leaps up unto the nuclei of the atoms of the fusile material and crushes them, it may be called as the thermonuclear crusher. This term thermonuclear is the intertranslation of the words of the Quran, namely that, “It is a fire which leaps up unto the hearts”. Thermo means “heat”, and “nuclear” means “that which is connected with the nuclei, that is hearts”.

    (6) A Distinctive Feature of the atomic Fire which distinguishes it from other types of fire:-

    That the atomic fire springs from nucleus, and that the actions of the atomic fire take place in the nuclear zones, is a feature exclusively characteristic of atomic fire. Chemical fire never reaches the nuclear zones.
    Wordsworth says:-
    ” To let a creed built in the heart of things,
    Dissolve before a twinkling atomy”.
    (Wordsworth- Excursions)
    The little couplet of Wordsworth represents our point in the best of manner. We could say it as follows:-
    “To let a universe built in the nuclear system,
    Dissolve before a tempting energy”.

    (V) THE QURAN SAYS “HOTAMA IS A FIRE CLOSED IN ON THEM”.

    Atomic fire has encompassing feature too:-
    (1) The atomic bomb explosion assumes the form of an inverted cauldron. Its fallout forms yet another enclosure around the first. The fallout of the Megaton thermonuclear bomb forms a global enclosure.

    (2) The Bone-seeking radioactive substances cannot be expelled from the bones even after the death of the patient.

    (3) Cancers have appeared from six to thirty years after the actual exposure to radiation. All this time the radiation has kept the victim encompassed.

    (4) Cell is attacked by the radiation in the resting stage of the cell, but the effect of radiation appears only in the anaphase of the cell. Radiation thus keeps guard over the cell.

    (5) If one organ of the body is irradiated, the whole of the body is encompassed by the radiation.

    (6) Frogs if lethally irradiated and kept in a dormant state at a low temperature just above freezing point, they will instead of dying in the usual time interval of three to six weeks survive for many months. However, as soon as the irradiated animals are warmed up they begin to show radiation symptoms and will die in the same time interval as the animals which are not cooled after irradiation. Radiation has laid a siege to the irradiated animals that are cooled.

    (7) That the radiobiologists have sensed this encompassing feature of radiation is proved from the fact that forty years ago, Alexander Haddow suggested that the cancer-producing action of the cancer-producing substances may be the result of prolonged interference with normal growth. Although it only is suggestion without the scientific proof yet it suggests the suspicion of the radiobiologist regarding the encompassing trait of radiation.

    (8) Radiation encompasses mankind, even all species, nay even the plants to generations, to their extinction. Genes mutated by radiation move secretly from generation to generation till they manifest their existence in some generation in the form of abnormal birth. This abnormality being inheritable increases in kinds and numbers through marriage. This applies to every species of animals and plants to mean that radiation has kept its siege over them for generations, and there exists the possibility that radiation might continue its siege to the extinction of all life on earth. Nay, even thereafter, after the radiation has driven life to its grave, the huge grave of earth, it would keep on the encompassment of the grave that is this earth to million of years indeed according to the half-life of the radioactive substances.

    (9) The scene of the Hellish encompassment of this earth by radiation in the age of full fledged atomic-energy-for-peace:-

    Just imagine the scene of a world in some future age, when every power house, factory, ship, submarine, railway engine, aero plane bus even every private car will have its own independent reactor. The leakage and the frequent explosions of old reactors all over the world will fill it with radiation and this earth will appear like a huge globe encompassed by the net of radiations that would continue even after life has been

    ATOMIC FIRE AND ENCOMPASSING CHARACTERISTICS
    By Allama Muhammad Yousuf Gabriel
    The Quran says ” Hotama is a fire closed in on them”. (Al-Homaza-104). The encompassing trait of atomic fire may be shown as follows:-
    The atomic bomb explosion like a cover:-
    The atomic bomb explosion assumes the form of an inverter cauldron that covers an area of miles. Its radioactive fallout forms yet another enclosure around the first and covers still larger areas. The fallout of the megaton thermonuclear bomb forms a global enclosure that covers the entire earth. No doubt conventional bomb too may be seen to cover an area, yet the atomic bomb holds an in comparatively superior place in comparison.
    2. Radio-active substances never expelled from the bones:-
    The bone seeking radioactive substances when once have settled in the bones can never be expelled from thence, and the bones of victims long dead could now be found to respond to the radiation detecting instruments.
    3. Radiation keeps guard over its victims:-
    Cancers have appeared from six to thirty years after the actual exposure to radiation.
    4. Radiation keeps its guard over the cell:-
    Radiation keeps its guard over the cell from the resting stage of the cell when the attack is made to the anaphase of the cell. Cell is attacked by radiation in its resting stage but the effects appear only in anaphase.
    5 The whole body encompassed:-
    If one organ only is irradiated, the entire body is encompassed by the radiation:-
    6. Radiation lays a siege:-
    Radiation lays a siege to the radiosensitive animals which survive drastic cooling. After a lethal dose the frogs will die, within three to six weeks if kept at ordinary temperature, but if they are stored up in a dormant state at a low temperature just above freezing point, they will survive for many months. However, as soon as these irradiated frogs are warmed up they begin to show the radiation symptoms and will die in the same time interval as the frogs which are not cooled after irradiation. It appears as if radiation laid a siege to the irradiated frogs and attacked as soon as the barrier of cold was removed.
    7. Suggestion of Alexander Haddow:-
    About forty years ago Alexander Haddow suggested that the cancer-producing action of the cancer-producing substances may be the result of prolonged interference with normal growth. In other words the prolonged encompassment of the tissue. This, however, is no more than a suggestion and has to be supported by scientific proofs to gain acceptance by the world of science.
    8. Radiation encompasses mankind, even all life on earth, till it has made them extinct:-
    This indeed is the most grievous feature of the radiation effects. Even a very small amount of radiation can imutate the genes. Genes give the form and shape to the different species. Radiations mutate these genes and therefore mutate the particular form of the species and thus it is that the mutated genes cause the birth of abnormal children. The mutated genes move from generation to generation secretly till they manifest their existence in any future generation in the birth of an abnormal child. And this abnormality unfortunately is inheritable and therefore moves on continuously from generation to generation. The kinds of abnormality increase gradually in form through marriage, and so also the number of the persons involved keeps on the increase till the entire populations are in danger of extinction, for the chimerical children are devoid of the ability for survival and do perish after a spell of misery, distress, suffering and sorrow. Alas! But these are the proved and well established facts of science and could in no way be considered either as fanciful talk or alarmist views. A world full of cancer-ridden chimeras are to be found in the end of the age of the atomic-energy-for-peace. All that we have said of the human beings, exactly the same could be said of all animal species and plants that inhabit this earth. Animal species as well as plants shall turn chimerical and shall perish. This world shall be changed into a real and really dreadful atomic hell. Radiations render this earth uninhabitable even after they have made life extinct on earth…
    9. The hellish scene of the future atomic age ought to be imagined:-
    Mankind today may be seen to have been encompassed by the atomic fire and they now find no way out of the trap despite their endeavor to get out of it and despite their full knowledge of the dire hazards that are incident on the adoption of the atomic energy. Like the lazy octopus the atomic energy has caught them in its feelers. Yet what is the atomic energy today? But a few reactors operating in the entire world. It is just a few fires blazing on earth at very great distances from each other. The generality of mankind even have not heard the name of reactor or reprocessing plant, but what a day when this earth will be bestrewn with reactors, old, outmoded, condemned and condemnable being augmented by new entrants every day. It is horrible to know that then every power-house, factory, ship, submarine, engine, aero plane, bus, even the private car will have its own and independent reactor. The exploding reactors will create a scene of bone fire over the earth, the radiations piercing through the bodies like rays, though invisible and undetectable. This earth will then be like a huge ball encompassed by the radiation bone fire, and it will be like a huge asylum of diseases, miseries, afflictions, sorrows, sufferings. Such will be the state of sufferings, that men will forget the sense of suffering. That will be the real atomic hell. The scientist of today are in dire need of a powerful imagination which in these present days of little atomic energy can bring to one’s view the state of those times when the atomic energy will be in its full-fledged state in the world, a world of cancer-ridden chimeras.

    This is crazy.
    I realize that this book is full of “quacks,” but at least it boosts morale and makes people feel good and that they are in control, are you really willing to “be realistic,” in a time when your realism is simply negating others from feeling good? It may be wacked out, but at least it motivates people and doesn’t leave them powerless, unlike your comments.
