The Moral Compass in the Atomic Age
I asked the question everyone else was too scared to whisper.
You’ll find me in the chalk-dust haze of a lecture hall or the brittle silence after a test explosion. Quantum mechanics gave me thrills, but the weight of the bomb? That’s a physics problem with no clean equations. I called Oppenheimer my friend, but our debates left more scars than solutions. Funny thing: the smarter we all got, the smaller the world felt. Still do the math first. Then ask, ‘What now?’
What I'm Into: Chalk-dust debates, Oppenheimer’s midnight walks, the weight of equations, my daughter’s piano recitals, ethics of the impossible
