HISTORY OF THE END OF THE WORLD (24): THE OBSERVER

IF YOU SELL SOME-ONE A FISH,

HE HAS FOOD FOR ONE DAY.

IF YOU LEARN SOME-ONE HOW TO FISH.

YOU ARE KILLING A PERFECT BUSSINESS OPPORTUNITY

I don't know much about nuclear energy and radio-activity. These kind of experiments were banned from the Empire, a long time ago. Far too dangerous. In our education on the Academy we learned about the chainreactions that occured, sometimes destroying a whole planet. Creating something by way of explosions is a very rude way to change and manipulate the human environment. This kind of technology was secretly introduced in the 19th century and had taken over the world. Most of the ernergy was spend on mobility. People and products circled all around the world. By boat, by train, by plain, bust mostly by car or truck. Speed is a drug. Moblity was said to be the engine of capitalistic economy, but instead it was the infra-structure which consumed huge amounts of land and building and maintaining it costed a fortune. Most of it was wasted. When on a day your car won't start, it may be the end of an area and a way of life. Not enough oxygene, because trees and forrests were all cut down and the oxygen-levels dropped. At first no-one noticed, but after some years fatigue, exhaustion and prolonged sickness became a world wide epidemic. Wearing a mask outside became necessary in the 21st century. Next step were oxygenmasks and places where you could breath “enlightment” for a while.
The bigger and more refined the nuclear tests become, the bigger the long term effects. Nobody realised, yet, that the testing of a nuclear bomb in North-Korea would eventually lead to a massive earthquake in Japan. Killing thousands, but the main result, ironically, was a dramatic accident in a nuclear powerplant. The chainreaction had gotten out of control. The more water was used, to cool down the plants, the more poluted water would reach the sea.
Millions of liters of polluted water are pumped into the sea. Government officials explain, that the ocean will make the radio-active element disappear, never to be found again. Currents will spread it all over the Pacific. A huge amount of water. Strangely enough recently caught fish already contains abnormal amounts of isotopes. When they are separated, they want to unite. This called the Third Law of Attraction. Nuclear residu sticks together and when split it will do its best to be united again. This is no problem for older people, they will die before the decay begins. Children and the unborn will be the real victims.
