Is anyone else disturbed by the thought that they have no real idea how they did it, or what to do to contain it? It's like the Manhattan Project- poor Fermi was really freaked when the reaction actually took off, and was not at all sure they could contain it. Theoretically (at the time), the reaction could have kept on going until every atom here on earth and elsewhere was consumed, yet they still gave it a shot. I get the feeling the same mindset is at work here.
