Kubrick film from 1964, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying <strong>and</strong> Love the<br />

Bomb. It is also a main topic of the movie Beneath the Planet of the Apes, in parallel with the<br />

species extermination theme. Most such models either rely on the fact that hydrogen bombs<br />

can be made arbitrarily large (see Teller-Ulam design) or that they can be "salted" with<br />

materials designed to create long-lasting <strong>and</strong> hazardous fallout (e.g.; a cobalt bomb).<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are many unconfirmed, anecdotal reports of a Soviet doomsday device involving a<br />

200-megaton hydrogen bomb sheathed in (or, alternately, "salted" with) a highly radioactive<br />

material, usually said to be cobalt, of sufficient quantity to saturate the earth's atmosphere<br />

with deadly fallout should the device be detonated. Details regarding this device vary<br />

according to the source, but enough similarities in the dozens of different stories exist to<br />

suggest at least some basis in truth. According to various sources, at some point between<br />

1967 <strong>and</strong> 1985, the device was designed but never constructed; built but never activated;<br />

built <strong>and</strong> activated, but dismantled at the end of the cold war; or designed <strong>and</strong> constructed in<br />

such a manner that it can never be de-activated, <strong>and</strong> is still in existence today. Tales of its<br />

location <strong>and</strong> means of operation are equally diverse: it was in an underground bunker west<br />

of Moscow, Siberia, the Ukraine, etc.; it was installed on a special rocket booster that would<br />

deliver it to the upper atmosphere upon activation; it was actually a series of bombs placed<br />

at intervals along the western border of the USSR; it was to be detonated upon comm<strong>and</strong><br />

from the Kremlin, automatically by a special computer, a seismic trigger, or upon detection of<br />

incoming missiles. Many more versions exist, such as one with the device being<br />

permanently installed in the hold of an unmarked tramp freighter, steaming r<strong>and</strong>omly from<br />

port to port in the North Sea."<br />

218 "... paradigm..."<br />

"Historian of science Thomas Kuhn gave this word its contemporary meaning when he<br />

adopted it to refer to the set of practices that define a scientific discipline during a particular<br />

period of time. Kuhn himself came to prefer the terms exemplar <strong>and</strong> normal science, which<br />

have more exact philosophical meanings. However, in his book <strong>The</strong> Structure of Scientific<br />

Revolutions Kuhn defines a scientific paradigm as:<br />

• what is to be observed <strong>and</strong> scrutinized<br />

• the kind of questions that are supposed to be asked <strong>and</strong> probed for answers in<br />

relation to this subject<br />

• how these questions are to be structured<br />

• how the results of scientific investigations should be interpreted<br />

Alternatively, the Oxford English Dictionary defines paradigm as "a pattern or model, an<br />

exemplar."<br />

219 "...Nicola Tesla..."<br />

"Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was an inventor, physicist, mechanical<br />

engineer, <strong>and</strong> electrical engineer. Born in Smiljan, Croatian Krajina, Military Frontier, he was<br />

an ethnic Serb subject of the Austrian Empire <strong>and</strong> later became an American citizen. Tesla<br />

is best known for his many revolutionary contributions to the discipline of electricity <strong>and</strong><br />

magnetism in the late 19th <strong>and</strong> early 20th century. Tesla's patents <strong>and</strong> theoretical work<br />
