Inventions?

Greatest invention

     The world’s greatest invention would be the atomic bomb. The atomic bomb is seen as the world’s most powerful and destructive weapon of its kind, capable of wiping out an entire city within seconds and the ability to leave lasting effects of radiation within that area. The reason why I see this bomb as the greatest invention is because it enables the wielder of the technology to be the “top dog”, as Theodore Roosevelt once said “Walk softly, but carry a big stick”. This is the perfect reason why the atomic bomb is the greatest invention, because it is the “biggest stick” anyone can possess. Yes, it will instill fear in everyone who does not have the technology but though another reliable source we find that it is better to rule in fear than in love and compassion (The Prince by: Machiavelli), because not everyone will have the ability to love you but everyone has the ability to hate you, man is inherently evil. The atomic bomb is a one shot one kill thing, it leaves no time for the victim to retaliate and the immediate and after affects are so devastating they will think twice before attacking again. What are the possibilities that another country can possess such thing? Well protecting such weapon in secrecy is not easy. Either put a monopoly on all the parts that are needed to make such weapon, destroy any facility that has the ability to manufacture the chemicals needed for the weapon, or threaten the country until it gives in to stop manufacturing the bomb.  Yes there will be millions of innocent people who will be killed in the process, but that is why you do not attack those countries that are bigger or close to the same size as the wielder. Everyone needs a friend. Besides there are people all over the world saying that there are way too many people on this earth and that we have a problem of food shortages creating world hunger. This is the solution to world hunger, if we are taking much more than we can produce, take less. Simply getting rid of something that is a threat or a parasite, such as the people who are attacking you, we find it completely normal to dispose of the people. It is human nature to get rid of the weakest link, ones that have some sort of illusion that they can take down a person with a far superior weapon or strength. If we do not reinforce this matter we are interfering with the flow of nature..
