Lesson 45-4     Of men and galaxies

Twenty or thirtypages of information handed to any of the major world powers around the year1925 would have been sufficient to change the course of world history. It is astrange thought, but I believe a correct one, that twenty or thirty pages ofideas and information would be capable of turning the present-day world upsidedown, or even destroying it. I have often tried to conceive of what those pagesmight contain, but of course I cannot do so because I am a prisoner of thepresent-day world, just as all of you are. We cannot think outside theparticular patterns that our brains are conditioned to, or, to be moreaccurate, we can think only a very little way outside, and then only if we arevery original.
