With technology becoming
1. Exponentially more powerful
2. Exponentially cheaper to produce
3. Exponentially more widely available and attainable
It is inevitable that at some point it will be possible for anyone to construct a weapon of mass destruction in the privacy of their own homes and use it to set off a chain reaction which will start world war 3.
Comments?
Pooh, science can destroy nothing, it is intangible. People can misuse science to destroy, just like they can use anything to destroy.
Me, I ain't giving up science, I like my flush toilet too much.
