The genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Intellectual curiosity drove Einstein to some of the world's most important discoveries.
The atom was unleashed in 1946, right when all this stuff was occurring. And the bomb's incredible release of energy and light may have signalled somebody in a dimension which is sharing space with us very closely.
Hiroshima had a profound effect upon me.
As far as me knowing if Frank was a genius - in those days, I thought Einstein was the only genius around.
What Einstein was able to do was - to use a cliche - think out of the box.
During this time I had the singular good fortune of being able to discuss the problem constantly with Einstein. Some experiments done at Einstein's suggestion yielded no decisively new result.
I think the way to think about the impact of Hiroshima is to think about it as a sudden shift in the balance of power.
I am not sure why, but I have been obsessed by the Atom Bomb ever since it first happened.
But the first the general public learned about the discovery was the news of the destruction of Hiroshima by the atom bomb. A splendid achievement of science and technology had turned malign. Science became identified with death and destruction.
Every positive value has its price in negative terms... the genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.
