"But I remember being in New York with my mother in a restaurant, immediately after, and thinking about New York, and I knew how big the bomb in Hiroshima was, how big an area it covered and so on, and I realised from where we were - I don't know, 59th Street - that to drop one of the 34th Street, it would spread all the way out here and all these people would be killed and all the things would be killed. And there wasn't only one bomb available, but it was easy to continue to make them, and therefore that things were sort of doomed because already it appeared to me - very early, earlier than to others who were more optimistic - that international relations and the way people were behaving were no different than they had ever been before and that it was just going to go on the same way as any other thing and I was sure that it was going, therefore, to be used very soon. So I felt uncomfortable, and thought, really believed, that it was silly: I would see people building a bridge and I would say "they don't understand." I really believed that it was senseless to make anything because it would all be destroyed very soon anyway,..." --Richard Feynman
