"I donıt know what kind of weapons will be used in the third world
war, assuming there will be a third world war. But I can tell you what the fourth world war will be fought with-stone clubs," stated Albert Einstein.
Albert Einstein is a man ahead of his time. He described truth and a present issue.
Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, on March 14, 1879. He spent his younger years in two different secondary schools. He graduated in
1900 as a secondary school teacher of mathematics and physics. In 1911 Albert Einstein was given a full professorship at the German University in
Prague, all the while he had been working on his special Theory of Relativity. Throughout Albert Einsteinıs life, of seventy-six years, he
accomplished many great achievements in science. In 1922 he won the Noble Prize in physics. He even created a new Theory of Gravity. Albert
Einstein changed the scientific world forever. Many scientists in the 21st
century are still baffled by his discoveries.
Albert Einsteinıs quote is very relevant today. Many people agree with his statement and have stated it in their own way. "The world is very
different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of poverty and all forms of human life," stated John Fitzgerald
Kennedy. The weapons used in another world war would be very advanced. Albert Einstein lived until the 1950ıs. Many of the weapons we have now
had not been invented yet. He knew that technology would become so advanced that a single bomb or missile could destroy huge areas.
The world has been changing greatly in emotion and self-esteem since Einsteinıs life. There have been a lot of horrible wars in the world. The
generation growing up seems to not have an emotional grip on war and what can happen because of war. A serious war has not taken place for many
years. With the technology we have, people would take war too lightly and more human lives would be lost than need be. If a third world war took
place, we would use our vast range of weaponry and probably go over
board in our attack. The result could be very devastating.
Now more than ever, individuals are giving themselves to a cause of religious affiliation. Many of the circumstances involved are done in
violence and the termination of others. For example, if a religious third world war took place, I believe that much of the human population would be
ceased. A religious war asks that everyone take a side if the people do not, they usually end up dead. A countryıs pride would determine how much
effort he would put into the war. Because of their pride they will go to far and even with all the technology in the world, we will not be able to save
ourselves from the inevitable.
As Einstein said, we will end up fighting the fourth world war with stone clubs, is a good point. The third world war will be so horrible
that it will terminate all the technology sources we have. As a human race, we will be taken back in time to the stone ages. The vast destruction from
our own pride will take us there.
Wars are breaking out all over the world at this present time. What happened on September 11, 2001, has changed the world and our lives
forever. Albert Einsteinıs quote or theory may very well come true and all to soon. Maybe Einstein had psychic powers to predict the very
occurrence of what will probably take place. "Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind," said John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
J.F.K was not misled when he said this. Mankind is very powerful, and the most powerful weapon we have is our minds. Our own emotions and self-
esteem can determine the outcome to a game, war, and our lives.
Albert Einstein could see the potential that human beings have. He also knew the evil that lurks around in the world and the hearts of men.
Smart people with evil thoughts always equals trouble. A third world war may or may not come; I pray it does not.
