| Now the whole of existence on this earth is collapsing – because of the politician and the scientist. And they both are together. The atom bomb became possible because Albert Einstein and Roosevelt joined together. It would not have been possible if Roosevelt had wanted it alone. It would not have been possible if Albert Einstein had wanted it alone. It becomes possible only when politics and science meet.

They have been helping each other... --Osho The First Principle, ch. 2 |
