In A Free World, If It Is

When You See Something That Is Technically Sweet You Go Ahead And Do It.

The History Of Science Is Rich In Example Of The Fruitfulness Of Bringing Two Sets Of Techniques, Two Sets Of Ideas, Developed In Separate Contexts For The Pursuit Of New Truth, Into Touch With One Another.

I Can't Think That It Would Be Terrible Of Me To Say - And It Is Occasionally True - That I Need Physics More Than Friends.

Despite The Vision And Farseeing Wisdom Of Our Wartime Heads Of State, The Physicists Have Felt The Peculiarly Intimate Responsibility For Suggesting, For Supporting, And In The End, In Large Measure, For Achieving The Realization Of Atomic Weapons. Nor Can We Forget That These Weapons As They Were In Fact Used Dramatized So Mercilessly The Inhumanity And Evil Of Modern War. In Some Sort Of Crude Sense Which No Vulgarity, No Humor, No Overstatement Can Quite Extinguish, The Physicists Have Known Sin; And This Is A Knowledge Which They Cannot Lose.

It Is A Profound And Necessary Truth That The Deep Things In Science Are Not Found Because They Are Useful; They Are Found Because It Was Possible To Find Them.
