S01E24: A Christmas Story Christmas, Werner Heisenberg, Stuck In The Middle
In Physics and Philosophy, Werner Heisenberg correctly speculated that the availability of nuclear weapons would not make war obsolete. Instead, "the absurdity of warfare by means of thermonuclear weapons may, in a first approximation, act as an incentive for war on a small scale," and further, that this situation, in turn, could induce some nations to feel that "in the case of small wars inflicted upon them by aggressors, they would actually have recourse to the nuclear weapons" (p. 165). In other words, the then newer technological means of destruction exacerbates danger, especially given how what may seem justified or...
