Highly interesting topic discussing the formation of "strange" ideas into weapons and the process of when and how a weapon becomes a weapon, rather than just a strange idea.

It is hard to believe the CIA really has funded psychic work for the defense industry. This is news to me. Weinberger tracing of the hafnium bomb is frightening and intriguing. These are the types of things we never hear about and when we learn them, we just want to learn more. Psychics, the Jasons, a secret society of scientists, and the underworld of scientific study. It all sounds like science fiction. Her detail of the politicalization of scientific funding is also surprising. While the isomer testing had repeatedly been proven to be inconclusive, and unstable, Carl Collins still receives millions of dollars per year in funding, when Nobel Prize winning scientists say that a million is a generous amount. ?
