If someone is aware that their knowledge is limited, shouldn’t they talk with care and consideration to remain open to the opinions of others?”
The former director of the
Max-Planck Institute for Physics, Hans-Peter Dürr was born in Germany and studied physics in the USA under
Edward Teller, one of the prime movers in the
Manhattan Project and the so-called “father of the H-Bomb”. Appalled by Teller’s enthusiasm for nuclear armament, Dürr became a committed pacifist and has campaigned for decades for an end to the use of both nuclear power and atomic weapons.
