Автор: Brown L.
Аннотация:
This book is about science and war. These are unquestionably the two most dissimilar manifestations of the behaviors that distinguish man from beast. Science—allow
it here to mean all elements of our search to understand the universe and put that understanding to use—is the most remarkable of human occupations. It is also the
most important. For us not to strive to understand the universe would be as foolish as for castaways not to explore the island on which they find themselves. Science,
like art and literature, draws from the mind those inner, intangible feelings which we flatter ourselves give us our station on Earth. It discloses to us things of
unparalleled beauty and wonder—the mathematical beauty of the laws of physics, the wonder that life is understandable. War is the negation of all this. It is a disease,
like smallpox, that must be eradicated.
