is a continuous count of seconds based on atomic clocks all around the world, known as the international atomic time. Why does it matter that we keep track of time? Well, time regulates our daily lives and makes it possible to accurately communicate with people

We've currently touched the atomic level, though our control remains limited. But we potentially could go much smaller in the future. To get a sense of the extent to which that's true, the observable universe is 26 orders of magnitude larger than a human body.

Quote examples
Robert Kennedy
American Politician
Yesterday, we fought wars which destroyed cities. Today, we are concerned with avoiding a war which will destroy the earth. We can adapt atomic energy to produce electricity and move ships, but can we control its use in anger?
Quote examples
Richard P. Feynman
American Physicist
Working out another system to replace Newton's laws took a long time because phenomena at the atomic level were quite strange. One had to lose one's common sense in order to perceive what was happening at the atomic level.
Quote examples
Mordechai Vanunu
Israeli Scientist
Second point is no one here could predict or know that Israel was involved or started producing the hydrogen bomb - the most advanced and powerful atomic bomb that can kill millions of people.
Quote examples
Mahatma Gandhi
Indian Leader
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.
Quote examples
Albert Einstein
German Physicist
I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.
Quote examples
Harry Browne
American Writer
There was no military reason to drop atomic bombs on Japan. They were used as terrorist weapons - killing innocent people to influence other people.
Quote examples
Willard Libby
American Scientist
The future of the world, dependent as it is upon atomic energy, requires more understanding and knowledge about the atom.
Quote examples
Werner Heisenberg
German Physicist
If we made atomic bombs, we would bring about a terrible change in the world. Who knows what would happen from this?

David Means
American Writer
Alice Munro is an atomic writer blasting doors into narrative time.
