Summary "Worlds Within Worlds: The Story of Nuclear Energy, Volume 3 (of 3)" by Isaac Asimov is a scientific publication written in the late 20th century. This book serves as a comprehensive examination of nuclear energy, specifically focusing on nuclear fission, fusion, and the potential future advancements in energy generation beyond fusion. It is the final volume in Asimov’s trilogy dedicated to explaining the science and implications of atomic energy and its applications. In this volume, Asimov delves into the discovery and mechanics of nuclear fission, explaining how it became the basis for both nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons. He describes significant historical experiments and breakthrough discoveries by renowned physicists like Enrico Fermi and Lise Meitner, ultimately leading to the development of the atomic bomb during WWII. The book also explores nuclear fusion, the process that powers the sun, and discusses the challenges of achieving controlled fusion on Earth, such as maintaining extreme temperatures and pressures. Finally, Asimov speculates on future energy sources like antimatter and emphasizes the importance of understanding nuclear energy as a crucial part of modern society.
