It contributed to the broader movement for nuclear disarmament and influenced subsequent efforts, such as the establishment of the United Nations Atomic Energy Commission and the negotiation of treaties like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
The collaborative effort by Einstein, Urey, and their colleagues in creating “One World or None” underscores the profound impact that scientists can have on public policy and global security when they engage with ethical and societal issues beyond the confines of their laboratories.
