Nuclear Bombs End Large-Scale Warfare
The last few centuries have seen the world freed from several scourges—slavery, for example; death by torture for heretics; and, most recently, smallpox. I am optimistic enough to believe that the next scourge to disappear will be large-scale warfare—killed by the existence and nonuse of nuclear weapons.
Notes:
An accurate prediction by a physicist who worked on them.
