Weapon and peace among nations Is it possible?
Nobel, Einstein and Sakharov were not indifferent to the future of their inventions and hoped that people would use them for their benefits. They thought that wars could be prevented with the help of weapon.
“My dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions. As soon as men will find that, in one instant, whole armies can be utterly destroyed, they surely will abide by golden peace”
Einstein encouraged the President Roosevelt to begin atomic weapon research. He felt uneasy about the rise in power of Nazi Germany.
Einstein sent a second letter to President Roosevelt warning him of the cataclysmic and destructive outcome that would result if an atomic bomb were ever actually used. President Roosevelt died on April 12, 1945 and the letter lay on his desk, unopened!
“I could burn my fingers that wrote that first letter to President Roosevelt”
“I made one mistake in my life when I signed that letter to President Roosevelt advocating that the atomic bomb should be built”
“But perhaps I can be forgiven because we all felt that there was a high probability that the Germans were working on this problem and would use the atomic bomb to become the master race. ”
Andrei Sakharov played a key role in the development of the hydrogen bomb.
Sakharov believed that nuclear weapon can only be a deterrent against nuclear wars. One can’t intend to win a nuclear war.
“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones” A. Einstein
"If we don't end war, war will end us“ H. G. Wells
