Things That Go Bang Required Texts and Supplies

`A physical experiment which makes a bang is always worth more than a quiet one. Therefore a man cannot strongly enough ask of Heaven: if it wants to let him discover something, may it be something that makes a bang. It will resound into eternity.`

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg 1742-1799
