The Danish Physicist and Nobel Prize laureate Niels Bohr is giving a speech on the subject of “Physics and Men” at the International conference for Nuclear Research in August 1955 in Geneva, Switzerland. On the left sits the president of the nuclear conference Baba from India. Quoted from the original legend: “He declared atom physics as a lesson, going far beyond the scope of the field physics. Science as unification of all menkind cultures is considered to be the longer the more an important role. Close contacts and mutual understanding are urgently needed.”
