Text of the day: “The Maharaja was agog. It was at this point that the Lord Krishna shook off the image of the sage, revealing his true identity to the king. ‘Now you are humbled before the power of exponential mathematics.’ A neutron enters an atom… splits it… two further neutrons are released… and what you have is a chain reaction.” (Oppie in Tom Morton-Smith’s Oppenheimer)
