The '''Twin Nuclei Problem of Cell and Atom''' is the recognition that having gained the power to manipulate genetic and atomic nuclei between 1952 and 1953, humanity is now in possession of unprecedented destructive power, and thus capable of self-extinction. All human civilization is now one massive correlated experiment, and any sufficiently large event may be enough to end it. | The '''Twin Nuclei Problem of Cell and Atom''' is the recognition that having gained the power to manipulate genetic and atomic nuclei between 1952 and 1953, humanity is now in possession of unprecedented destructive power, and thus capable of self-extinction.
