| Description | Asks if science can ever be free of politics - and if not, where the dividing line can be drawn. Gives the example of atomic physics which 'may result in knowledge that...may give rise to atomic disintegration with explosive violence' and the theory that such an explosion could destroy 'the terrestrial globe'. Raises questions about the morality of scientists involved in such work. Finds that party lines are as clearly drawn among scientists as others, and would like to have a proper investigation into this matter. |
