Multiple choice - public poll.
An ethics question, borrowing a quote from Oppenheimer.
Ethics question:
As a fluke, you stumble across a potential new weapon of unthinkable destructive power capable of wiping out entire cities and even countries without the radiation and other environmental bite-back of nuclear weapons - making it more usable than nuclear weapons - nor would any country dare attack us. But on the other hand, maybe it would make warfare truly obsolete as no one can possibly win because it only a matter of time before other countries will have it too.
Do you proceed? Or do you destroy all your notes and records, saying nothing leaving it undiscovered?
