We all have heard about the nuclear bomb since childhood. We have soaked up the idea of an explosion during history and life safety lessons. Subsequently, we have rethought this phenomenon, thanks to getting acquainted with its reflection in culture. In the town, where the author of the "Bombation" was born, there lived a man who literally saved the world - by doing nothing. Having received the signal of a nuclear missile attack during his night duty while serving in the special unit of Air Defense Forces, he decided not to press the red button. He held on a pause instead, did some calculations, and concluded that the signal was false. This was what the world still needs nowadays - a pause, a reflection, a thought. Several decades have passed by but the world and technological progress are still staying on the foundation built upon the threat of an explosion - probably, more than ever during the last years.
