Comment on "Learning to Build the Bomb"

Abstract

According to Alisa Carrigan's opinion in Physics Today Dec 2007, to prevent proliferation of nuclear weapons, certain rules should be set to prevent the spread of a particular kind of knowledge. Here, I argue that a knowledge blockade does not work, and it is not a suitable means to establish a sustainable peace.
