"For I have become death ... the destroyer of worlds ...."

With that epochal Vedic scripture, Dr. Robert Oppenheimer, head of the top-secret World War II "Manhattan Project," hurled the world into the vast uncertainties of "the Atomic Age" ... 75 years ago this month, July 16, 1945 ....

But what if the United States' breakneck atomic bomb development, followed by the creation of its even more devastating "fusion" follow-on, the dreaded "super hydrogen-device," had, as a quiet side-effect, also revealed a terrifying planetary secret?:

That, just decades in the future -- regardless of the then uncertain outcome of WWII -- civilization itself would be totally destroyed ... not by "global thermonuclear war" -- but, by a once-in-a-million-year, gargantuan thermonuclear explosion--

On the Sun?!

Fortunately, the preceding scenario is total fiction -- from the fertile mind and technical imagination of my guest tonight, award-winning "hard" science-fiction writer, Robert Sawyer.

Or ... is it?
