  1. To make gigantic.

    There is no necessity to gigantify atoms in order to excite our admiration, for they are more wonderful considered in their comparative minuteness; to equalize their description with the hugest animals of the earth is nothing but to render their real feebleness contemptible.

    The basic premise was, of course, stupid: since irradiated marigold seeds, for instance, could yield humongous blossoms, then atomic testing could transform and gigantify anything, like a technological gypsy curse.
