Talking Uranium on The Daily Show

John Stewart did a very interesting interview with Tom Zoellner, author of Uranium: War, Energy, and the Rock that Changed the World. The books speaks about the discovery of Uranium and the multiple uses scientists have found for it. Although, as it pointed out in the excerpt from the interview below, humans have found for more ways to use it for destruction than for saving lives.

Stewart: Why are we so fast when making things that blow up, and so much slower - because this is also used in cancer treatments.

Zoellner: Yes

Stewart: But to much less effect than in bombs.

Zoellner: Correct

Stewart: What's wrong with us?
