Velikof smiled. "Now you believe."
"I'd never believe it possible."
Newton smiled self-confidently. "We'll have plenty of time to see what makes it tick," he said.
"But where does the activity go?" asked Mangler.
"It is changed into harmless radiations of mere light, a bit of electrostatic discharge, and a burst of magnetic field," said Velikof. "All energy has an equivalent wavelength; by inserting the proper equivalent wavelength artificially and exciting the material properly, the energetic radiation is heterodyned into harmless energy which can be dissipated easily."
"Amazing! Have you another sample?"
"No, unfortunately. Radioisotopes cost money. Why?"
"I'd like to try it again."
"You may do it at your laboratory. This machine is now yours."
"Then let's take it out of here—quick! I've got work to do!"
