Even in the midst of the World Wars, scientists worked on theories developed by colleagues from warring nations.
For example, the work of British experimentalists and
theorists in the fields of quantum and relativity theories
along with their German counterparts exemplifies the importance
of the social practice of science, which could
transcend political divisions. Similar instances of scientists
drawing on and supporting the work of scientists in
countries which are politically polarized continues even
today. In a way this is ironical, since scientists are also at
the forefront of pioneering weapons technology and are
zealously protected by their States.
