Prior, wiser Kings and Queens knew it existed and banned even seeking knowledge of it.
The discovery of the incredible amount of energy released by Nuclear Fission and its potential for use in weapons presented a Deplorable Word Scenario for its discoverers. If they kept quiet and burned their research, how long would it be before someone else discovered it? How long would it be before someone used it?
