This is some page I found on the vaste interwebbe a long time ago. It looks like instructions for building a nuclear fission bomb, but I guess I'm not sure of that. To me it feels like something we'd send off to alien races to prove we knew how to blow the shit out of each other or something.
At the bottom appears to be diagrams involving the theory of nuclear fission. Fissionable material spewing forth neutrons to split further fissionable atoms or something.
The numbers don't seem to correspond to anything built into the diagram. Perhaps there was explanitory text that went along with it originally?
In any case, I thought it looked real cool, so I put a copy of it here.
