“Nuclear weapons give an attacking nation a devastating advantage over any feasible defense. New sciences will soon empower small groups, even individuals, with similar leverage over society.”
Martin Rees, Our Final Century
“Things are hard to understand because they are complex, not because they are big. The challenge of fully elucidating how atoms assembled themselves...into living beings intricate enough to ponder their origins is more daunting than anything in cosmology. For just that reason, I don't think it is presumptuous to aspire to understand our large-scale universe.”
Martin Rees, Just Six NUmbers, The Deep Forces That Shape the Universe
“Almost any applicable discovery has a potential for evil as well as for good.”
Martin Rees
