Verified by Experts

Science is search for truth. If a discovery is of great academic interest but is sure to have dangerous
consequences for the human society, it must be made public. To reveal the truth and the means to prevent
its misuse, both are the responsibilities of the development of an atom bomb, a weapon of mass destruction.
The humanity at large has to be educated to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
