Optimism or Fatalism

Optimism is a favorite attitude and is characteristics or any one engaged in a research of any kind. But here is an exception to this rule .Optimism in the case of atomic energy in reference to radiation falls into the category of fatalism. To allow the use of a thing like atomic energy in the hope of someday finding the protective and curative means to ward off the peculiar and particular hazards of atomic energy is to mistake fatalism for optimism in complete forgetfulness of the unique hazards of radiation. What way is there to account for the genetic hazards. what if all the hope of scientists respecting the discovery of protective and curative means prove false , or even if in case they come ,they come too late and after the Radio-die  of mankind has been cast and man’s nuclear destiny has been spun. The most reasonable conduct of the scientist the existing circumstances ought, instead of a vaguely venture-some and dimly hopeful attitude to have been to declare to the world in most explicit and clear-cut manner,” Brother! ,we find our self in a unique consider it our sacred duty to declare to you, that we have not been able hitherto the either any means of universal protection against atomic radiation, nor we found as yet any sure cure for radiation injury. Nor yet is any in sight. Judging from the Complex of extreme difficulty of the subject we can give no hopes of any kind. We therefore regret to tell you that in circumstances such as these we cannot recommend or permit the use of the atomic energy in any way, to wit , neither for nor even for peace ,since the hazards of the venture are great , so much so that the advantages accured from the enterprise cannot be even imagined to atone for the damages that might surely be incurred in mankind in due course .we will , however , keep up our struggle in the field , and will never flinch from our duty and will grudge no sacrifice , in our endeavour to discover some mean of protection against  radiation and some sure cure for radiation injures , if ,however ,someone is adamant ,and would take up the course of atomic energy in spite of our warnings we cannot stop  him from doing so but him expect no cooperation   from our side .”And indeed, there would have been nothings new in a statement of this kind. Einstein and most of the leading scientist of America have issued similarly statement. And were Einstein alive today, I am assured in my mind that he could have most graciously condescended as to endorse a statement like the one, that quoted above, in treatment of the subject, reader can finds a sufficient reason for surprise in the fact that all the inevitability of the hazards of atomic radiations has been shown by the scientist himself as the result of his scientific inquiry and experimentation. Discovery in an established form appears to scientifically establish the ruinous aspects and the disastrous consequences of the atomic energy and thus saves us from resorting to any valedictory kind of utterances that perhaps might have proved of negligible effect. Ascertained facts and established theories of science in this context do most unambiguously prove our adverse opinion about the atomic energy.  Leaving the matter therefore entirely to the scientist himself we will resort to a sad reverie in order to judge the effects of this discussion on mankind in general and more than that on the scientist himself. It is a painful matter to deprive mankind of a means of potential energy, but dangers of such a potential being un-proportionally great, the truth has to be told anyhow. To adopt atomic energy is just like sowing fiery winds only with expectations of reaping fiery whirlwinds. They have sowed atomic energy and they already have reaped atomic bomb. They will sow atomic-energy-for-peace and they will reap complete annihilation of life on earth due to the atomic radiation in process of slow, systematic decay.
