Man's ability, on the one hand, to create supreme works, in science and art, in terms of humanization in behavior, and on the other hand, he also carries within himself a "talent" for finding ever more perfect means of self-destruction.

Since then, man's fear for his existence, for the existence of his offspring, of the entire human race and of everything that planet Earth means, has been much more present.
