Typical of the fundamental scientific problems whose solution should lead to important industrial consequences are, for example, the release of atomic energy, which experiment has shown to exist in quantities millions of times greater than is liberated by combustion.

My first feeling about the paper and the attitude is that it is absurd.

To make the moral achievement implicit in science a source of strength to civilization, the scientist will have to have the cooperation also of the philosopher and the religious teacher.

Science can have no quarrel with a religion which postulates a God to whom men are His children.

If co-operation, is thus the lifeblood of science and technology, it is similarly vital to society as a whole.

Yet is it possible in terms of the motion of atoms to explain how men can invent an electric motor, or design and build a great cathedral? If such achievements represent anything more than the requirements of physical law, it means that science must investigate the additional controlling factors, whatever they may be, in order that the world of nature may be adequately understood.

At your next breath each of you will probably inhale half a dozen or so of the molecules of Caesar’s last breath.
