Note: According to the author's introduction to the 2015 edition of "Fighting Madness", the sequel to this story, the 1974 version of the text referred to then-imaginary "President Clinton". The author changed it to "President Callaghan" in the 2015 edition.
Synopsis: A scientist finds out that there are two different states for the universe. He is able to switch the state in one direction locally around earth, but not back again. The altered state differs in one main detail: the fission reactions of heavy elements won't work.
