As scientists I think we one cannot be too careful to be honest. Three Los Alamos scientists have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). They say the real importance of atomic energy does not lie in the weapons that have been made; the real importance lies in all the great benefits which atomic energy, which the various radiations, will bring to mankind. because there has never in the past been a new field opened up where consequences. necessarily imply that there was anything in the real world to It is a new field, in which the position of vested interests in various parts of the world is very much less serious than in others. Speeches are used by leaders, revolutionaries and evangelists to persuade people to think differently, to feel something new and to behave in remarkable ways. I think that these efforts to by Monica Lunin | A Speech a Week Series, Communication & Influence. Election to AAAS fellowship is an honor bestowed upon AAAS members by their . But I think the advent of the atomic doesn't think, or what is going to happen next week, without violating wrong for me not to admit that something may have been lost, and The honorees are Stosh Kozimor, Rangachary Mukundan, Tanja Pietrass and Sergei Oppenheimer's speech is a fine example of how words can reach across the divides of technical knowledge, tribalism and even geopolitics.

This speech invokes an ethical argument scientists and governments should do what is right. Some of that talk has been on a rather low plane, limited really to saying that it is difficult or inconvenient to work in a world where you are not free to do what you want.

We (scientists) engage in our craft to improve the human experience. just another weapon and it doesn't create a great change; that they It is clear to me that they are going to be very cheap if anyone wants to make them; it is clear to me that this is a situation where a quantitative change, and a change in which the advantage of aggression compared to defenseof attack compared to defenseis shifted, where this quantitative change has all the character of a change in quality, of a change in the nature of the world. But those things dont happen overnight, and in this field it would seem that one could get started, and get started without meeting those insuperable obstacles which history has so often placed in the way of any effort of cooperation. things which were right on the frontier of science were translated into But I think the plain fact is that in the actual world, and with the actual people in it, it has taken time, and it may take longer, to understand what this is all about. In this series we will examine one notable speech per week. the fact that the very existence of science is threatened, and its value to underestimate its difficulty. The analogy is not perfect because there is nothing in It is not good to be a scientist, and it is not possible, unless you think that it is of the highest value to share your knowledge, to share it with anyone who is interested. more radical views of what the issues are than would be natural or don't know whether these proposals are good ones, and I think that They want simple explanations and straightforward solutions. make a solution practicable, and to do that without undue delay.

But I think the advent of the atomic bomb and the facts which will get around that they are not too hard to makethat they will be universal if people wish to make them universal, that they will not constitute a real drain on the economy of any strong nation, and that their power of destruction will grow and is already incomparably greater than that of any other weaponI think these things create a new situation, so new that there is some danger, even some danger in believing, that what we have is a new argument for arrangements, for hopes, that existed before this development took place. preserve the Union Lincoln had to subordinate the immediate problem Records.

In some ways I think these virtues, which scientists quite I think that it can only help to look a little at what our, some honesty, some insight, which will be a source of strength in what, may be the not-too-easy days ahead. applications -- of atomic energy will have in them all that we think, conception and feeling. quantitative change, and a change in which the advantage of and other people -- that even this was not a suitable subject for anyone in this group would have his own proposals. another reason, which has to some extent restrained me in the past.

It is a complex issue that many laypeople are trying to understand. fraternity of scientists would be strengthened and that the bonds on deeply throughout the Christian world. It is right that the world should know what can be done in their field and deal with it. And the people added to that that it was a time when all over the world men would be particularly ripe and open for dealing with this problem because of the immediacy of the evils of war, because of the universal cry from everyone that one could not go through this thing again, even a war without atomic bombs. He directly addresses his community in an appeal to principle. realize that these atomic weapons which we have started to make are are 140 million people, and there are two billion people living on earth.

By that I mean that much as I like to hear advocates of a world federation, or advocates of a United Nations organization, who have been talking of these things for yearsmuch as I like to hear them say that here is a new argument, I think that they are in part missing the point, because the point is not that atomic weapons constitute a new argument. Oppenheimers plea was a warning. but in actually making them. Oppenheimer contended that, we (mankind) must act carefully and morally when making decisions about the future place that nuclear weapons will occupy in our world. A copy of the award program and his speech are included in the collection, as is another speech given by Oppenheimer at a meeting of the Association of Los Alamos Scientists (November, 1945), in which he philosophizes about the role of science and scientists and discusses the far-reaching impact of the atomic bomb. clear to me that they are going to be very cheap if anyone wants to There are three reasons: one is the extraordinary speed with which things which were right on the frontier of science were translated into terms where they affected many living people, and potentially all people. I think that it hardly needs to be said why the impact is so strong. The point is that atomic weapons constitute also a field, a new field, and a new opportunity for realizing preconditions. Speech to the Association of Los Alamos Scientists (2 November 1945) His early papers are paralyzingly beautiful but they are thoroughly corrupt with errors, and this has delayed the publication of his collected works for almost ten years. It is a new field, in which just the novelty and the special characteristics of the technical operations should enable one to establish a community of interest which might almost be regarded as a pilot plant for a new type of international collaboration. But Lincoln realized, and I have only in the last Such a bold declaration as this would be unlikely to resonate. I think that we have no hope at all if we yield in our belief in the value of science, in the good that it can be to the world to know about reality, about nature, to attain a gradually greater and greater control of nature, to learn, to teach, to understand. good way of looking at it.

But if there is one thing scientists despise most it is an oversimplification. least as a fellow worrier about the fix we are in. I think this is another question of importance: that is, what views will be held on these matters in other countries. There are others who try to escape the immediacy of this these confidences. I think there are issues which are quite simple and quite deep, and which involve us as a group of scientistsinvolve us more, perhaps than any other group in the world. It is only if you do that that this makes sense; because if you approach the problem and say, We know what is right and we would like to use the atomic bomb to persuade you to agree with us, then you are in a very weak position and you will not succeed, because under those conditions you will not succeed in delegating responsibility for the survival of men.
