I love this stuff- it reminds me of when I first heard of oppenhiemer quoting from the Bhagavad-Gita "...now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds..." and his colleague, Ken Bainbridge, put it in another way when he leaned close to Oppenheimer and whispered, “Now we are all sons of bitches.”
When I was little I wanted to be a scientist, because in my childish enthusiasm I decided that since it was scientists that may bring about the end of the world only a scientist could save it. Then I realized just how much math was involved.
