The heroes of this collection — the most wasteful people in the world, because they afford such a luxury, but a luxury of human communication, as would say Antoine de Saint-exupéry — the only luxury in the world.

4. Unwanted child of Robert Oppenheimer
Robert Oppenheimer
"I am death, destroyer of worlds" — such a high-sounding phrase would be awesome for any sci-Fi movie, but unfortunately, the person who uttered it was not a movie writer and I meant it, speaking of himself these terrible words.
The exceptional research by American physicist Robert Oppenheimer is known as one of the greatest scientists of XX-th century, but also they made his name forever cursed by mankind. Oppenheimer was engaged in studying black holes, quantum electrodynamics, spectroscopy and many other important problems in physics, but the most fame he received in the course of work on the so-called Manhattan project — a program to create nuclear weapons.
As you know, the United States in 1945, the year used is developed with the direct participation of Oppenheimer atomic bomb against the civilian population of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Years later, in the 1960s, the scientist told about his feelings during the observation of the first nuclear test: "I remembered the line from the Holy book of Hindus "Bhagavad-Gita": I am become death, the destroyer of worlds". Critically, Mr. Oppenheimer, but it's true.

Give up, because if I take the Sparta by force, if I break them gates when I get through with her rams the wall, then ruthlessly destroy the entire population and razed the city to the ground!". The answer of the Spartans was very brief (from the Greek region of Laconia, whose capital was Sparta): "If". After thinking about the message that Philip had abandoned his plan and never tried to attack Sparta, his son Alexander in his campaigns also avoided the side Laconia
