Abstract |
Science and technology are fundamental pillars of modern societies and have an impact on aspects such as industrial and economic growth, among others. While they are not the cause of wars themselves, thanks to scientists and technologists, the destructive power of weapons has increased continuously. It is worth remembering that Athena was the goddess of both knowledge and war. In this article we will briefly look at the role and attitudes of physicists in developing nuclear weaponry (atomic and hydrogen bombs) and some implications of the Cold War for physics-as recounted by some of the most prominent individuals involved. |
