Sky-High Radiation Found in Fukushima Fish

[longship]

29. It didn't come off like that.

And I apologize if you took my post wrongly. Possibly you read the title, but not the post.

Regardless, the problems at Fukushima are not science problems, but the applications of science, which is an entirely different thing. For instance, Leo Szilard, the physicist who first realized that radioactivity might give rise to a weapon of incredible destruction, attempted to put that knowledge under a veil of secrecy. He attempted a patent in the UK. He knew what it meant and he did what he could to stop it. Even while FDR was dying, Szilard and others were attempting to stop the use of the monster he had first thought up, and which he, every step of the way, attempted to prevent.

If one actually reads my post, and maybe views the video, one may see the demarcation. I am passionate about science. But I am also very passionate about humanism. I don't know that one can separate one from the other. I do not think anybody could put it more succinctly or with such passion as Bronowski's final sentence in that essay.

We have to touch people!

Possibly you missed that part of the message. Maybe you ought to view the entire episode. Perspective is important here. Facts are important. Questions are important, even those which may never be answered. But we must keep on asking them, nonetheless.

View the video and maybe you'll see things differently.
