Abstract

I have already visited Nagoya several times, but I have not previously talked about energy. As a nuclear physicist, I am well aware that today is the 60th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. I think that it was the worst tragedy in the history of mankind. As a member of the human race, I believe that nuclear weapons should never be used. We must find a way to overcome these problems.

Dr. Hans-Peter Dürr †, Director Emeritus, Max Planck Institute for Physics and Astrophysics, Germany; Professor Emeritus, Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Germany.
