People bitch and bitch abt the atomic bomb. All documentaries about war are cursing the day when scientists invented the atomic bomb.

Matter of fact is that the main reason we did not face yet the 3rd, 4th and so on world wars is exactly the existence of the atomic bomb. Else, since 1943 till now we would have seen many massive tank battles all over Europe, between the western countries and Russia. Because this huge scarecrow, great powers do not engage in conventional wars toe to toe. If the atomic bomb would have not existed, there would have happened Battle for Kursk reloaded 3 or 4 times till now.

Seems that mankind will never find a definitive answer related to the argue between Alfred Nobel and his lady (who was to be right?), as one of the answers will mean that the civilisation and maybe human race were wiped out, while the 2nd do remain valid and fragile at the same time, in the absence of the opposite.
