Science goes from question to question; big questions, and little, tentative answers. The questions as they age grow ever broader, the answers are seen to be more limited.
From George Wald
Our business is with life, not death.
Nuclear weapons offer us nothing but a balance of terror, and a balance of terror is still terror.
It's not good enough to give it tender, loving care, to supply it with breakfast foods, to buy it expensive educations. Those things don't mean anything unless this generation has a future. And we're not sure that it does.
In fact, death seems to have been a rather late invention in evolution. One can go a long way in evolution before encountering an authentic corpse.
I think all of you know there is no adequate defense against massive nuclear attack.
