There is a great interest everywhere in anti-scientific activities, as evinced by the general
hippy and drop-out culture of the last decade with its bizarre music, resort to drugs and
great interest in the literature of fantasy. A world inhabited by Hobbits, with their dislike of
machines more complicated that a forge-bellows , a watermill or a hand-loom, and by
Dwarfs, Elves, Wizards and terrible creatures of the dark, has more appeal to many of
the younger generation than one in which atoms wend their certain way to unleash ever-
greater power for man over his surroundings.
