Russell and Einstein

So, there's this really excellent blog called Letters of Note that posts a new piece of correspondence every weekday. The writers and recipients of the letters range everywhere from Franz Kafka to Marilyn Monroe to Zach Galifianakis to the CEO of the now defunct Tiger Oil Company. If you feel like it, you should browse through some of the letters, they're really neat.

Anyways, they just posted a letter from Bertrand Russell to Albert Einstein concerning their manifesto (which deals with nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction). Click here to read the letters.

It's not exactly news since it's obviously something that happened a long time ago, but I think it's really interesting to see a scientists personal thoughts about science instead of just, well, science.
