      I am afraid that if there is a nuclear war, it could wipe out humankind entirely, so it would really be the last one. Nuclear weapons were less powerful in Einstein’s times.

      If we don’t stop fighting around, we just might. We sadly have the power to wipe out the human race.

      I would like to hope that we never destory our planet so badly that we have to go back to using really basic tools like sticks and stones. But it’s possible that we might, we have the technology to do it.
      Sadly I think the world will never be completely fair, so there will always be wars of some sort.

      What he said was ‘I do not know with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but I know World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones’. We’ve got to the point know where we are capable of mutually assured destruction. It’s a genuine worry, that if there is another large scale war we will only destroy ourselves. Hopefully everyone realises this though and it won’t get that far. I certainly hope so.
