More ominous still was the global radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons tests , alongside scientists ' warnings that a nuclear war could wreck the entire planet . Elihu Boldt , Stephen Holt , and Robert Becker could observe the entire spectrum at once , measuring the energy of each photon that hit the silicon germanium crystal at the heart of the detector . In other words , if you could take the entire domestic oil industry and somehow distill it and condense it into one city of 106,000 people , you would have essence of oil , or Midland , Texas .

Indonesia , always a U.S. ally in regional forums , was headed toward a collapse that could destabilize the entire region . Its advantage was that it could observe the entire spectrum at once , measuring the energy of each photon hitting the crystal , whereas the Focal Plane Crystal Spectrometer could examine only a small band of energies at any one setting of the crystal tunes . It 's tugging at a thread that could unravel the entire 19-million acre Arctic refuge , and a lot else as well , " she said last year . Elevated to the rank of strategic doctrine , NATO 's transition to the practice of using military force outside its zone of responsibility and without UN Security Council sanction could destabilize the entire global strategic situation .
