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. What
man's mind can create, man's character can control.
-- Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931), newspaper interview, August 22, 1921
US Inventor
