Even now, your scientists are working on a way to harness the sun's rays.
1:04:04
The rays of sunlight are minute particles.
1:04:07
Is it so far from your imagination they cannot do as I have suggested?
1:04:11
Why a particle of sunlight can't even be seen or measured.
1:04:14
Can you see or measure an atom ? Yet you can explode one.
1:04:19
A ray of sunlight is made up many atoms.
1:04:21
So what if we do developed this solaronite bomb ? We'd be even a stronger nation than now.
1:04:26
Stronger. You see ? You see ? Your stupid minds...stupid ! Stupid !!
1:04:32
-That's all I'm taking from you !
-Get back here you jerk !

1:04:35
Let him finish.
1:04:44
It's because of men like you that all must be destroyed.
1:04:47
Headstrong, violent ! No use of the mind God gave you.

1:04:55

1:05:02
You, who wear the uniform of your country. You see, I wear the uniform of my country.
1:05:10
Yes, we've had to use drastic means to get to you, but you left us no alternative.
1:05:16
When you have the solaronite, you have nothing. Nor, does the universe.
1:05:24
You speak of solaronite, but just what is it ?
1:05:29
Take a can of your gasoline. Say this can of gasoline is the sun.
1:05:36
Now you spread a thin a line of it to a ball, representing the Earth.
1:05:42
Now, the gasoline represents the sunlight, the sun particles.
1:05:47
Here we saturate the ball with the gasoline, the sunlight.
1:05:52
Then we put a flame to the ball. The flame will speedily travel around the Earth,
1:05:57
back along the line of gasoline to can,
