Sorry, too late.

Once you get to the price/demand curve, you can stop. If the price of a global thermonuclear war is too great, the demand falls off very rapidly.

Don’t stop yet at splitting the atom and inventing a fission bomb. Wait until we reach the invention of Jewish Space lasers! I wanna see what they look like.

Yes . . . the resonant wavelength looks like a very good place to stop.

It was a sine of the times.

Easier said than done.

There’s a long time between 3 and 4, and next to none comparatively speaking for the rest.

I vote for stopping before vector analysis.

If only.

Old sci fi story in which an alien race stops the ability of uranium/plutonium to be used in this fashion until/unless mankind changes so use of such weapons is no longer considered.

Nah, some of the worst atrocities happened when the cutting-edge technology was still swords and catapults. A lot of wonderful things came along with the jets and atom bombs, or later.

That’s the oldest trig in the book.

I think the big question, especially with nuclear weapons being part of the world forever more, is “how do we deal with the underlying problem of national aggression?” 95 years ago, US Secretary of State Frank Kellogg and French foreign minister Aristide Briand wrote the “General Treaty for Renunciation of War as an Instrument of National Policy” a.k.a. the Pact of Paris or the Kellogg-Briand pact. In essence, it outlawed aggressive war – wars of conquest. China happily signed, and a couple years later invaded Manchuria. Germany and Japan signed, and within a decade broke the treaty to ignite WW2. Lies outrank promises.

It appears the worst threats at any particular time are happy to assure everybody they are no threat at all. The sucker punch is a prelude to so many wars. Right, Mr. Putin?

Can’t put the Gennie back in the cave.

Once carved in stone, never to be erased, ignored, or avoided.

Stop at fire.

The sophistication of the artwork mushrooms as at progresses.

He left out steam power between 1+1=2 and E= mc²

E= mc² should go just before the nuclear blast.

In HHGG it’s posited that even coming down out of the trees was a mistake

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Albert Einstein

If we’re getting picky you might want to swap the positions of the sine wave and general relativity.

Without making ANY assumptions or circular logic, prove 1+1=2. It does because we say it does. We have built a civilization that rests on an unprovable assumption. That might be why we are in such a mess? Perhaps 1+1= Kumquat, would have been better???

The RMS calculation seems to be a bit off in your wave. Still, well time lined.

But the writing is on the wall.

He’s HAM-ing it up a bit, like this Amateur … and how would I have gotten to those countless meetings all over the U.S.?

I’s like to hear him whistle that frequency, including its DC component … I phase you not.

Funny…

Human nature being what it is, once Pandora’s Box is opened, there’s no stopping it. Someone is going to take it and run with it.

If only we had stopped there.

Too late, yip yip yip yip yip

About a million Allied soldiers or would-have-been soldiers would heavily disagree with this strip.
