the release of atomic energy, our generation has brought into the world
the most revolutionary force since prehistoric man's discovery of fire.
This basic force of the universe cannot be fitted into the outmoded concept of narrow nationalisms. For there is no secret and there is no defense; there is no possibility of control except through the aroused understanding and insistence of the peoples of the world. We scientists recognize our inescapable responsibility to carry to our fellow citizens an understanding of atomic energy and its implication for society. In this lies our only security and our only hope - we believe that an informed citizenry will act for life and not for death. I do not know with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones. A. EinsteinT |
