Network of nuclear muscles


“The second nuclear era, unlike the dawn of the first nuclear age in 1945, is characterized by a world of porous national borders, rapid communications that facilitate the spread of technical knowledge, and expanded commerce in potentially dangerous dual-use technologies and materials.” Board of Directors, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The sharing and increase of information and knowledge of human beings, for good or for bad, is an inevitable trend, and the constituted blurred network will make necessary a new way of dealing with the human quest and values.
