"I don't know what weapons will be used in the Third World War, but the Fourth World War will be with stones and sticks. ”
This is a sentence that Einstein said before he died, and it also makes us intuitively feel that once the third world war breaks out, it may mean that human society will return to the Stone Age.
So why did Einstein say such things before he died?
Why did people have such fears at the time?
How much of a threat is there if World War III breaks out?
1. Unequal social resources.
In human society, in the history of civilization that has survived for a long time, there have actually been many world wars, and these wars were due to the intensification of contradictions in the society at that time, and finally developed into contradictions between countries.
In a big way, this kind of contradiction is actually the contradiction of interests between countries that people have called "between countries" throughout the ages, but the core of this contradiction of interests is the distribution of resources.
In ancient times, the distribution of resources was very uneven, with some countries being rich and others being poor, which led to the intensification of contradictions between different classes in various countries.
In a small way, in some regions and cities, there will be problems in the distribution of resources between different families, and there is a big gap between the education and living standards of children in different families, which leads to a very large gap between various classes in society.
In modern society, people's living standards have been greatly improved, but the problem of resource distribution has not been fundamentally solved, although in some developed countries, the level of economic development is very high, and the people's living standards are also very good, but in some poor countries, people's living standards are still very low.
As a result, in some poor countries, people have a very simple idea, that is, in order to live, they can do whatever it takes to obtain more resources.
In some developed countries, there may be a change in people's perceptions, either as an injustice or as being so frightened by what people in poor countries are doing that they want to protect their country.
This leads to two different perceptions, as well as two different behaviors.
II. The Significance of the World War.
People know that world wars are very cruel, but behind every world war in history, there are some other meanings.
In the development of human society, people will begin to seek new directions for development, and at the same time, they will also begin to change their concepts, which will lead to great differences between countries in terms of concepts.
At the same time, the contradictions between the interests of various countries are also enormous, and this leads to the gradual intensification of contradictions between various strata of society, which eventually evolves into wars between countries.
In every world war, new weapons are presented, which leads to the fact that in the initial stages of the war, the number of casualties is very small, but as the war develops, new weapons appear, which makes the war very brutal.
This cruelty, at the same time, also made people have a sense of consciousness after the war, which led to a change in people's perceptions after the war, which is also another meaning of the world war.
From ancient times to modern times, people's concepts have changed very much, and world wars are part of this change, and every world war will make people conscious, and at the same time, people's concepts will also change in consciousness.
This change is both a form of progress and a form of protection, which allows people to become more united and at the same time more progressive on the new path of development.
It is precisely because of this progress that there is more peace in human society, and at the same time, there is more development in human society, and it is precisely because of the existence of world wars that there has been tremendous development in human society.
At the same time, the world war is also a kind of historical memory, and its existence is a warning and a historical lesson.
III. The Significance of the Fourth World War.
Einstein's words before he died made people feel very worried.
So why did Einstein have such concerns?
What is the meaning of this sentence?
Albert Einstein is a world-famous physicist, and he has made many achievements in the field of physics, but Einstein's wisdom is not only reflected in the field of physics, but also in other aspects.
The reason why Einstein said this sentence is actually for his reasons.
In Einstein's time, nuclear weapons had not yet been born, but Einstein foresaw the existence of nuclear weapons with his own wisdom, and at the same time expressed his own views on the use of nuclear weapons.
What Albert Einstein said during an interview was not taken much seriously at the time, but when the atomic bomb was actually released, people realized how important Einstein's words were.
Albert Einstein said, "I don't know what weapons will be used in World War III, but World War IV will be with stones and sticks." ”
In fact, Einstein's words are also a prophecy of world war.
Although there is nothing new in this sentence, Einstein foresaw the horror of nuclear weapons through this sentence.
Because Albert Einstein once said that the lethality of nuclear weapons is very great, if people really start a nuclear war, then the earth will become an uninhabitable planet, and it will also mean the end of human civilization.
Although Einstein's prediction is not new, it makes people think about how terrible nuclear war really is, and whether nuclear weapons are really so lethal.
What Einstein said was a joke, what he wanted to say was that if there was a nuclear war on the earth, there would be no need to bomb it, and everyone would be killed by nuclear radiation and nuclear dust.
At the same time, nuclear weapons may also become the mainstream weapon, its lethality is very large, a nuclear bomb can destroy a city, once this weapon is used, it will cause the other side to use it, and eventually cause the earth to become a lifeless planet.
This creates fears about nuclear weapons, but also worries about the future.
epilogue
Einstein's remark is both a helpless and a warning, nuclear deterrence has temporarily prevented nuclear war, but this is not a long-term solution.
Nuclear weapons may be used when the existing means are difficult to resolve the contradictions, but in this way, the civilization of the planet will face destruction.
When a nuclear war does break out, the earth's civilization will face destruction, and humanity may return to the Stone Age.
