- gus_massa 3y ago> Would you flag an article of Einstein saying nuclear power is dangerous back in 1939? Great physicist. His ability to predict society changes is more difficult to evaluate. We are (sadly) more use to things that explode, so it may be easier to compare nuclear bombs with conventional bombs. Anyway, some people claim that nuclear bombs and MAD prevented WWIII, so perhaps nuclear weapons are good (if they don't explode over your head). Anyway, in spite a hundred Einsteins had signed a petition to stop nuclear weapons, the governments would have ignored it. Conclusion: I would not flag it, but I would ignore that thread. PS: He was wrong about Quantum Mechanics... Smart doesn't mean that he was never wrong https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein%E2%80%93Podolsky%E2%80%93Rosen_paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein%E2%80%93Podolsky%E2%8...
- arisAlexis 3y agoYou went around a thousand miles in your argument. You would ignore Eintein saying that we can build nukes and that they will change the world in 1939? I mean people make huge mistakes yes :) both these things happen. You wrote an essay about Einstein and his failures and missed the hard fact of my argument.
