"[F]rom all that has been said about modern science... modern physics is just one... but... characteristic, part of a general historical process... toward a unification and a widening of our... world. This... would... lead to a diminution of... cultural and political tensions that create the great danger... But... forces in the existing cultural communities... try to ensure for their traditional values the largest... role in the final state of unification... and thereby adds to the instability of the transient state. Modern physics... shows that the use of arms... would be disastrous, and... through it openness for all... concepts it raises the hope that in the final state of unification many different cultural traditions may live together and... combine different human endeavors into a new... balance between thought and deed, between activity and meditation."
