worked with him at Los Alamos. They werent buddies but had a working relationship. They all knew exactly what they were doing. Teller and Ulam knew 15 years before Bikini and IVY MIKE what it was capable of.

not saying war is good, but Einstein and the other European physicists knew what they were building, what it would do, and continued to work.

In my educated opinion were fucked..

Through 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 recognise 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.
