A very famous and renowned author‚ by the name of Ray Bradbury‚ once claimed that‚ and I quote‚ “Man’s mechanical aptitude‚ his ability to pry open the secrets of the universe‚ may be his fatal flaw.” I disagree with the quote of this very famous author‚ and I have found evidence to prove my point in several stories written by Mr. Bradbury himself.
