World War III Will Be Fought With Viruses
  + stars: | 2023-07-07 | by ( Richard A. Muller | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Review and Outlook: Beijing’s war hawks are making it harder to improve relations with the U.S. But World War III may not be what you expect. The current paradigm of escalating nuclear conflict was articulated 60 years ago by physicist Herman Kahn , founder of the Hudson institute, but other technologies have come a long way since then. Conventional guns, bombs, missiles or troops may not figure in World War III at all. Biological and computer viruses are likely to be the weapon of choice.

Did My 1967 Experiment Inspire China’s Spy Balloon?
  + stars: | 2023-02-18 | by ( Richard A. Muller | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
China accused the U.S. on Monday of having sent more than 10 large balloons into its airspace over the past few years. I might have been the first to do so—but it was long ago, and if I’m guilty, it was inadvertent. Like China’s balloon that sailed over the U.S. this year, mine was about 200 feet tall and flew at 65,000 feet. Mine was launched in 1967 and bore the name “HAPPE” on the container holding the craft’s data-collection instruments, known as its science package. Is it a coincidence that, according to the Journal, China named its balloon program, begun in the late 1960s or ’70s, the HAPI project?
