Mankind spends much more on training pilots of aircraft than it does to train the nuclear reactor operators.

I am a particle physicist, which is the nearest branch to nuclear physics. So in that sense I was the sort of right connection with the subject of nuclear energy and so on.

Personally I would like to see that the nuclear age, in terms of power, does come, because there's no long-term future for developing countries without nuclear power.

This sense of wonder leads most scientists to a Superior Being - der Alte, the Old One, as Einstein affectionately called the Deity - a Superior Intelligence, the Lord of all Creation and Natural Law.

I'm afraid there's a big confusion in the world between nuclear power and nuclear arms.

Politicians - well, first of all, they should get rid of nuclear weapons, I think.

In this respect, the history of science, like the history of all civilization, has gone through cycles.
