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.

Before Chernobyl or without Chernobyl the nuclear power was the safe thing.

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

Soon I knew the craft of experimental physics was beyond me - it was the sublime quality of patience - patience in accumulating data, patience with recalcitrant equipment - which I sadly lacked.

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.

Scientific thought and its creation is the common and shared heritage of mankind.
