  12. Science Impacts Thought Modern Physics Einstein: “Certainties must be replaced by probabilities.” Post-modern Physics Richard Feynman: “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.” Nuclear Capabilities Robert Jay Lifton: “There is . . . the specific suggestion of the end of our species, of something on the order of biological extinction.”
