War attitude change urged
Biology head wants
weapons' extinction
By Michael Dolce
Of the Emerald
Now there is no time to wait
No time to think it over
Take the path, believe the math
You'll tell me when it's over
— Crosby, Stills and Nash
"WarCames"
Scientists feared it would rain on July 16, 1945,
near Los Alamos, N.M. Thunderclouds threatened
the sky.
But as dawn broke, so did the clouds. The day
was perfect for a scientific experiment of un
precedented scale.
Spawned by the “war psychosis" of World War II
— the daily body counts from overseas and the threat
of a Nazi empire — Americian scientists were racing
against time to develop the nuclear fission bomb.
As Aaron Novick, University biology department
head and Manhattan Project participant, recalled on
Friday, that first nuclear explosion was "awesome".
"First, there was an enormous flash of light,"
Novick told a SEARCH class studying the nuclear
arms race. "And that was quickly followed by intense
physical radiation.
"Then came the shockwaves that tore things
apart and swept them away.
"And then came the fallout. Dust clouds of radia
tion filled the sky."
Novick said the group of scientists who
developed the bomb did not fully understand their
creation until the Hiroshima and Nagasaki
bombings.
"We were awed by the energy released by the
bomb during the tests," he said. "We were shocked
by the death it caused."
Immediately after the bombings, Novick said
many scientists became ill. He complained of
stomach pains.
And all the scientists were "very bothered” and
dedicated themselves to the control of nuclear
weapons, Novick said.
"It was a sin to continue with the project after the
surrender of Germany," he said. "Now the bomb will
be with us the rest of our lives."
Once developed, its production could not be
kept secret. Building a nuclear bomb became shared
knowledge among major powers, Novick said.
And there is no defense against the bomb
because it is so destructive, he said. "You have got to
stop every dang one."
Aaron Novick
The Soviet Union and the bomb threaten world
survival. Politicians must strike a balance between
these forces, Novick said.
And the public must learn what the different
nuclear war positions really mean.
"Until very recently, people were seriously talk
ing about surviving a first-strike offensive," Novick
said. "This was used as an argument to build more
weapons.
"But only a mad man would believe that he could
survive a first-strike."
Novick said deploying nuclear weapons in
Western Europe does not help our national security.
One Trident nuclear submarine could destroy the
Soviet Union, he said.
Adding to the stockpile of weapons just makes
the whole system more unstable, Novick said.
The idea that there can be "Star Wars"-style bat
tles in space is "utter nonsense," he said. Politicians
supporting this scenario as an alternative to nuclear
war are playing a "cruel trick on the public," Novick
said.
All nuclear weapons must be destroyed and the
traditional view of war must be changed to avert
nuclear war, he said.
"If you want to have human civilizations, you
cannot have war," Novick said."World security must
somehow depend on people having this
understanding."
