Opposing views are held by scientists as to the probable con sequence of the distintegration of the atom. According to one school the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons of each atom is the cohesive force which welds the entire universe together. If one atom broke apart every other atom would do the same and the world would explode like a bomb. The other school main- tain that the disintegration of one atom would not affect others, and that in fact, otems have frequently split.
