Beleiver29 Posted July 6, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Einstein said that with all the new nuclear weapons and bombs being made there will be a huge war on earth and that man will be blasted back to the stone age. DO you beleive this? and do u beleive this could ve happened with other alien cultures? but instead of being blasted into the stone age they blasted their planet to nothingless? maybe that happened with mars what do u think? o by the way im new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isis-999 Posted July 6, 2005 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2005 hey welcome to um, i do not believe we will blow this planet back into the stone age,i think Einstein felt bad about he's part in nuclear weapons and wanted people to understand the true danger in using then, as far as other alien races i doubt they have done this either, but i think they are worried about what we will do; about mars we do not even know if there was ever a race of people there so we can not say what could have become of them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Quinn Posted July 6, 2005 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Its certainly a possibility, but I worry more about biological WMD's than nukes. A global conflict with our world's current weapons technology would be a disasterous event for the human race and civilization as we know it.

Eugene Lipschitz Posted July 6, 2005 #4 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I don't think we will blow ourselves back into the stone age unless there are very few survivors. Even then, most people know the basic concepts of fire, wheels, etc, etc. I can't really see other life in this solar system, but I think there is a lot of potential elsewhere. We might not even be able to recognize other life based on our preconceived ideas of it. As far as intelligent life, have we actually ever seen any?

Pinowawa1 Posted July 6, 2005 #5 Share Posted July 6, 2005 'Blasted Back To The Stone Age' - I think Einstein is trying to convey a message through this as a *metaphore* From our Weapons, there will be a creation of a major war in the future (I believe the birth of this war was two years ago) - This will greatly influence everything in world- the way things operate will be changed... but I believe the changes will be good and bad! I think we are taking this Einstein theory too literally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplos Posted July 6, 2005 #7 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Einstein's quote -- "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." I find it hard to believe that there will be a war that encompasses the entire earth. Somewhere there will still be an outlet that works and someone who knows how to use it.

Stixxman Posted July 6, 2005 #8 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I think conventional war is dead, what we will see are small unit surgical strikes to effect change. Large armies will be nutrilized by superior technology and bio warfare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ed Posted July 6, 2005 #9 Share Posted July 6, 2005 I didn't think he said that, maybe he did. What he did say was something like: 'I don't know how WW3 will be fought, but WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones'. Something like that anyway. There will never be a nuclear war anyway as a result of MAD, don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongyu Posted July 6, 2005 #10 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Well uranium is radio-active for a reason.. So we won't be able to touch it. But, than again.. We went ahead! Haha sticks and stones.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ed Posted July 6, 2005 #11 Share Posted July 6, 2005 A very wise thing to say from Einstein. It is also very true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unforgiven Posted July 7, 2005 #12 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Maybe the next world war won't just destroy life on earth, but the earth itself. Maybe what we know as an asteroid belt is really just one REALLY huge jigsaw puzzle that was the result of a planet being obliberated. Who knows?

STIX Posted July 7, 2005 #13 Share Posted July 7, 2005 This is one of the main hurdles an infant technological society must overcome to survive and progress, it's natures way of saying that we must embrace equality as a society in order to progress into the next level of society. Another hurdle may be avoiding natural disasters, this is natures way of saying we must co-exist with our environment and embrace it in order to survive and progress into a futuristic era. There are all these limiting factors which focus the path of life and I suspect they produce a certain type of conciousness, as if our universe, because of our laws of physics and nature, is designed to filter "life energy" to evolve over time in a certain way in order to produce a certain 'frequency' or variation of "life energy".

smallpackage Posted July 7, 2005 #15 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Unless a nuclear bomb destroyed all documents, Computers, Servers, and all of the human population that has knowledge in an engineering/math/science/history..blah blah blah... field, We wouldn't be completely back into the stone age. I really don't think our technology is that advanced considering we still run on fossil fuels and the government doesn't seem to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stixxman Posted July 7, 2005 #20 Share Posted July 7, 2005 It would take the entire nuclear arsenal to kick up enough debris to block the sun. It would be fallout that would irradiate most of the landscape, and that stufff doesn't just disapate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krishneelz Posted July 11, 2005 #25 Share Posted July 11, 2005 if you combine all the worlds nuclear weapons it would be able to take out a country the size of japan. Which isnt that big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
