Grazie,
vedo che il nipote di Robert Oppenheimer cita il nonno, che dice
accomiatandosi dallo staff che coordinò nei laboratori di Los Alamos:
“If you are a scientist you believe that it is good to find out how the
world works; that it is good to find out what the realities are; that it
is good to turn over to mankind at large the greatest possible power to
control the world and to deal with it according to its lights and its
values.”
Sono belle parole, forse un poco retoriche, alle quali andrebbero
affiancate anche altre sue parole, dette quasi 10 anni dopo, sulle quali
forse è bene riflettere nel contesto attuale:
«when you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do
it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your
technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb. I do not
think anybody opposed asking it; there were some debates about what to
do with it after it was made. I cannot very well imagine if we had known
in late 1949 what we go to know by early 1951 that the tone of our
report would have been the same.» [1]
