Science is the bomb
The academic-military-industrial complex produced the age of “big science” by the war continuing to develop and advancements that had to keep up with the developments of war. I think there is a general fear of who has the control over science… but the military that is scary (just my opinion). Let’s say there was aContinue reading “Science is the bomb”
