Hans Bethe quotes

Hans Bethe was a German-American physicist who made major contributions to quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics. Best known for his work on the theory of nuclear reactions, he played a crucial role in explaining how stars produce energy. He also contributed to the development of the atomic bomb during World War II and became a leading advocate for nuclear disarmament. Here are 2 of his quotes:

We have more nuclear warheads than the Russians, and I consider this to be the most important measure of relative strength. In addition, as Dr. Kissinger stressed many years ago, at the present level of strategic armaments superiority in numbers or megatons has no meaning.
