The big nuclear chimney is a modern version of the old alchemist pan. For the alchemists, transformation of matter, in a nuclear level, was a dream. For us this is a daily event. The problem is to know if what we can do nowadays, in scientific terms, is better of not for us, who are a mix of scientific minds, old dreams, natural bodies and many other physical and not physical things and processes.
Above one can see an upset pollard willow tree, being pressed by a `nuclear dream’ .
