摘要

The term "Big Science" is attributed to Alvin Weinberg, the former head of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The Clinton Laboratories, ORNL's original name during the Manhattan Project, had produced materials for the first atomic bombs; later, the renamed ORNL supplied the materials for the growing nuclear arsenal. Despite his role at the helm of the massive lab, Weinberg was conflicted about Big Science, a term that encapsulated the trend toward larger-than-life projects staffed by thousands of scientists and requiring large government investments. The pyramids of ancient Egypt and the cathedrals of medieval Europe had proved shining symbols of their eras, according to remarks he made in 1961, but Big Science would serve merely to "placate what ex-President Eisenhower suggested could become a dominant scientific caste."
