「早知如此,我寧願當鎖匠好了。」-愛因斯坦 (1945)

1945年的原子彈爆炸開展了一個新時代。科學,賦予人們前所未有的能力。科學,使超過十萬人在廣島及長崎瞬間死亡。科學,使人類有能力輕易摧毀世界!
物理系朱明中教授將簡介開創這個時代的科學大師們,如愛因思坦(Einstein)、奥本海默(Oppenheimer)、貝特(Bethe)等人,對戰爭及武器的反思。

"If I had known, I would be a locksmith"
- A. Einstein, on hearing that the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.

In 1945, the atomic bomb opened up a new era. Science has granted people a power never existed before. Science brought over 100 thousand deaths in instance in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Science has given the man kind the ability to destroy the world with little efforts.
Prof. Chu will briefly introduce the scientists who contribute to the founding of this era, and their reflections on war and weapons.
