The Dropping Of The Atomic Bomb Is

The Dropping Of The Atomic Bomb Is A Very Deep Problem... Instead Of Commemorating Hiroshima We Should Celebrate... Man's Triumph Over The Problem [of Transmutation], And Not Its First Misuse By Politicians And Military Authorities.

The Laws Expressing The Relations Between Energy And Matter Are, However, Not Solely Of Importance In Pure Science. They Necessarily Come First In Order ... In The Whole Record Of Human Experience, And They Control, In The Last Resort, The Rise Or Fall Of Political Systems, The Freedom Or Bondage Of Nations, The Movements Of Commerce And Industry, The Origin Of Wealth And Poverty, And The General Physical Welfare Of The Race.

Man Cannot Influence In This Respect The Atomic Forces Of Nature.

Nature Is In Austere Mood, Even Terrifying, Withal Majestically Beautiful.

The Real Value Of Science Is In The Getting, And Those Who Have Tasted The Pleasure Of Discovery Alone Know What Science Is. A Problem Solved Is Dead. A World Without Problems To Be Solved Would Be Devoid Of Science.
