Hypothetical

Every country or its scientists need to understand the basis of physics.  It's not "wishful" thinking to believe that's possible.

Consider a hypothetical scenario (good for a "B" movie plot if nothing else):

• One or more nations or individuals are or aren't respectful of others.
• They wish to be "better enemies" or "worse friends".
• They study "books" or "history" for "clues" or "insight".

• One or more nations desire to be a "superpower" or have "super power".
• They recognize a "dynamo" when they "read" it - even when the "spec" is backward.
• They do or don't need or want "nuclear weapons".

Pursuing the wrong path may or may not be a "dead end".  A misdirection or distraction will or won't delay or hinder.

Backward or "inevitable".
