You have already talked about how you would learn from scientists, not only in this country but all over the world, about progress in the developments that led to the maser. During the Cold War, meetings like Pugwash and the conversations that were going on between American scientists were critical, actually, in contributing to our understanding of how we could draw the limits to the relationships between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. On one occasion you were involved in discussions on banning weapons in space. Tell us about that. It's quite true that scientists are important in international relations.
Science is a social affair in the sense that everybody interacts, and it's a universal thing.
If you discover the right science, it applies to everybody. People like to try to understand and learn from each other. If somebody over here has discovered something, it's important for you to know that and what it is. And scientists can talk to each other then and trade ideas in a friendly way on scientific problems. This means they're really internationally minded.
