Cambridge Scientists Anti-War Group

The Cambridge Scientists Anti-War Group (CSAWG) was a left wing pacifist group set up in 1932.[1]

In 1937 responding to concerns about the use of poison gas bombs, the CSAWG organised an experiment in the Trinity College room of John Fremlin to determine the rate at which a gas might leak into a sealed room. However Jack Haldane queried the rigour of the scientific methodology.[2]

Notable members of CSAWG
gollark: Stop with the metadebate, it helps nobody.
gollark: The "p2p" would basically just consist of "nodes pass on messages to other nodes".
gollark: I mean, you could do that anyway, on top of skynet, but nobody would care.
gollark: It doesn't need to be secure, it just needs to be possible to transfer messages between them.
gollark: Eventually if I make it distributed we'll end up with the whole "consensus protocol" mess, but for now you just run a node and that's that.
