That evening, at a state banquet in Copenhagen's Christian-borg Castle, Dr. Schweitzer met another Nobelman, Denmark's aging (74) Atomic Physicist Niels Bohr, for the first time. Seated together, the two talked seriously, reportedly found themselves in complete agreement that nuclear test explosions should be stopped...
...Danes stood their ground. Their Atomic Energy Commission, which includes Nobel Laureate Niels Bohr, Denmark's grand old man of nuclear physics, had bluntly warned its government that should the Skate have a serious accident in the Copenhagen harbor, dangerous radioactive materials might be released. "If only one-fourth of the radioactivity aboard got out," said one physicist darkly, "all human beings within a mile around would perish." Suddenly Premier Hansen did not stand alone: it turned out that the British had also had qualms about the recent visit of the Nautilus. Sure enough, when asked, Her Majesty...
...former charwoman, Olga Lepeshinkaya, who insisted that a certain 1% soda solution could arrest the aging process, but most real scientists simply ignored her. The party denounced the Einstein theory, the Copenhagen school of quantum mechanics, and cybernetics as "idealistic." But the scientists used the work of Einstein and Bohr to develop Russia's atomic bomb, and the Soviet began turning out calculators as fast as it could. Physicist Peter Kapitsa, who was placed under arrest for refusing to work on the atom bomb, is now back in favor and heads a research institute...
...instance, the ideas of Plato are of considerable relevance today even though they are not included in the work of modern theorists, this is not the case in the natural sciences. Modern quantum theory contains a great deal of the older work of Newton, Laplace, Poisson, Hamilton, Jacobi, and Bohr. Indeed, a present concept of the physical truth is but a modification, reforming, and improvement of older ideas...
