Smallpox was a devastating illness, but it was also vulnerable to human ingenuity because:

1. It only infected people...it couldn't hide in animals.
2. It's a DNA virus, which makes its genome much more stable, and its mutation rate slower.
3. It was very clear when someone had smallpox.

It’s weird when a calculation involving astronomical quantities unexpectedly gives a suspiciously normal number like “6”

Remember, there are no nuclear-energy free zones on earth because the sun's radiation is everywhere and comes from nuclear fusion.
