Well since you're bringing up the possibility of
action by "higher powers", I must confess I have
often mused on whether or not the withholding of
the knowledge needed to use water as fuel didn't
have some diabolical dimension. You have to admit
it's very much in the Devil's interest (and that
of his acolytes the oil barons) to steer
mankind towards making an infernal pact with
atomic power.
Maybe he knows that in our orbit around the
galaxy we are shortly due to run up against a
Beta-atmosphere discontinuity which will
destabilise atomic reactors with Chernobyl type
consequences, a possibility I pointed out in my
note on Iterative Hierarchical Mechanics [N103/87]
where I wrote:
========================================
Unfortunately the writer's experience
of past system failures suggests that
it will probably take a nation or more
to be annihilated by synchronous and
inexplicable nuclear accidents before
the basic philosophical concepts on
which the operation of fission reactors
ultimately depend are given the serious
attention that their importance demands.

But perhaps I had better stop there before
some whiner complains I'm trying to subvert
his naive atheism. ;-)
