There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.

  • -- Thomas Alva Edison 托马斯·阿尔瓦·爱迪生

总有一天,科学的头脑中会涌现出一种机器或一种力量,它的潜力是那么可怕,那么绝对可怕,甚至连敢于用酷刑和死亡来制造酷刑和死亡的战士,也会感到震惊,从而永远放弃战争。
