Robert Oppenheimer, "Speech to There are many people who try to wiggle out of this. You may even wish to think of the days in the last century when the theories of evolution seemed a threat to the values by which men lived.

The only unique end can be a world that is united, and a world in which war will not occur. talk of the fact that this is not only a great peril, but a great hope, this regarded as an insoluble one. He clearly hoped his message would reach beyond the scientific community to provoke concern and right action for English and American policymakers.

Members have been awarded this honor by AAAS because of their scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications. perhaps you will regard it as justified -- as a fellow scientist, and at a quite different way. Others had more political arguments and said, Well, we know that atomic weapons are in principle possible, and it is not right that the threat of their unrealized possibility should hang over the world. As far as I can tell in the world outside there are many people just as quick to see the gravity of the situation, and to understand it in terms not so different from those I have tried to outline. terms where they affected many living people, and potentially all Worked on quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics.

They say the real importance of atomic energy does not lie in the weapons that have been made; the real importance lies in all the great benefits which atomic energy, which the various radiations, will bring to mankind. The point is that atomic weapons constitute also a field, a new field, that reality.
