Progress in quantum mechanics and the Theory of Relativity led to the discovery of a power which, for the first time, was stronger than the forces of nature - nuclear power. This nuclear power settled the problem of energy and resource exhaustion, and was regarded as a gift from the heavens. However, nuclear power was a two-sided coin, and brought the creation of the first mass killing weapon capable of destruction on a planet-scale along with its good uses.
