There’s no honorable way to kill, no gentle way to destroy.
There is nothing good in war. Except its ending.
A. Lincoln
Our foundation “Science for Peace. EU” strives to convey the message that war must be condemned no matter what. We hope that our heartfelt request to eliminate all weapons, dismantle arsenals and abolish the lobby of weapons is heard all over the world.
We want to start this article with the words of Gino Strada, a great man, who died recently, and whom we all love and admire: "War is liked by politicians who do not know it ... war is liked by those who have economic interests, who stay far from where the war takes place ... ... for whatever reason it takes place, every war has a constant: 90% of the victims are civilians, people who have never picked up a rifle and who don't even know why a bomb is thrown at them and who have no faults. This is why war is wrong in itself …… Wars are declared by the rich and powerful, who then send the children of the poor to die ”.

"The ethics of knowledge, creator of the modern world, is the only one compatible with the modern world, the only one capable, once understood and accepted, of guiding its evolution".
J. Monod
Science, by definition, makes progresses by trials and mistakes. It is never dogmatic, but through the method of experimental research, it produces the solid building blocks of knowledge with which to build a better future. Each brick of scientific knowledge follows the ethics of transparency to allow other scientists to reproduce scientific research and make new discovery. Science is based on hypothesis (from the Greek, hypo – below - and thesis – position), that is a supposition that preludes scientific reasoning. The hypothesis is therefore the pivot of scientific research, largely determining its progress: we are used to accepting the "provisional" nature of any scientific theory, based on a momentary hypothesis, of which we cannot establish with certainty the veracity and that we know, or should know, is subject to change.
