Very instructive and clarifying lecture. It is pity that such an extremely important issue is not receiving the attention it urgently deserves from society.

Extremely interesting video, wish i could have put a name to the face, certainly an intelligent guy. Very interesting points of view and things I have never, ever, thought of, although nuclear arms implications are nearly as hard to fathom as true "light speed" or distance between galaxies, etc. What're ya gonna do, though. Thanks for the upload MIT.

I'd like to think with the advent of the internet and access to information, that we as a species would collectively agree that these weapons shouldn't ever be used on earth.

When Donald Trump takes his oath of office, he will be, 70-years old, 7-months old, and 7-days old. Somehow this doesn't seem like a good sign.
