The world-renowned nuclear physicist and nobel peace laureate Joseph Rotblat(1908-2005)
said:"When a small stone is thrown into a pond, the ripples travel widely out from the centre. Though the ripples may become less powerful, they still do not disappear completely. Every person has the power to create ripples that can change society."

It isn't necessarily the so-called great leaders or celebrities who change the times. The ability to bring about change exists within anyone - this was Dr Rotbalt's keen insight. we, too, have the power to transform the times and the world in a positive direction. The power of ordinary people is the greatest of all. So, let's do our best!

In addition, Dr Rotblat stated:"Solidarity is so important. If we unite, we change the world. It might take some time, but viewed from a long-term perspective, the people will be victorious in the end."
