The Founders were engaged in a secret project to understand the fundamental particles which make up the universe. This project was originally designed to help understand The Truth and learn the power of The One. Initial theoretial research showed this to have awesome potential power. The first lab tests showed the research to underestimate the power available by several orders of magnitude. It should be noted that The Founders do not dispute that we were researching this with the possibility of creating a deterrent powerful enough to end the war.
However, the evidence provided by scotland shows a picture from a scottish spy plane in the northern oceanic passage (

The practical research into this project never reached such a dramatic conclusion and no detonations were ever carried out in the northern oceanic passage as alleged by the photograph.
It is also noticeable that the picture is in black and white - far easier to manipulate than colour pictures - despite the known fact that colour pictures have been available to scottish intelligence for some time.
