Abstract
Whenever there’s a scientific or technological invention, people learn – later – to incorporate it within their social lives. While cars, computers, televisions, airplanes etc. were developed first, the social and legal frameworks to regulate and govern their use were developed later. In the case of computers, the entire world is still working to define its acceptable and unacceptable uses. Nuclear weapons are no different. While the P-5 developed nuclear weapons in the mid-40s, Pakistan demonstrated the same capability about half a century later.
