Trinitarian Ironies

A little bit of irony centred around my college Trinity, Cambridge (UK). A few years ago, there was a report in one of the university newspapers alleging that Trinity owns shares in a company producing guns and other types of armament. A Trinitarian of the last century, G.F.Hardy (1877 - 1947) was one of the greatest pure mathematicians the world has ever known. He was a pacifist and claimed that one good thing about pure mathematics is that it can never be used to harm anybody. Sigh : Hardy would be horrified to know that today his work on the theory of prime numbers is used by governments in encrypting military secrets!
