Summary/Abstract: The man is a rational being, but its role is increasing in the area of not only the Earth, but the near universe as well, becoming more pronounced and more important. If, until recently, he could not produce the effects that could be seen from space, the modern era has opened up about that possibility as well. The melting ice cover, forest fires, especially armed conflicts, atomic weapons probes, and certainly other types of weapons that interfere with well-established principles of nature are now more than obvious. The man increasingly feels like a ruler, like “the master of nature”. If something is understood as external law unwinding certain phenomena, can we say that we know and the occurrence itself. If we found a curtain over the atoms using the most accurate microscope available, can we say that we have mastered all the secrets of the atom or the infinity of the universe? The arrogance of man was visible immediately after he, or his social group, feel independent. Then comes the competition about merit, and it produces the illusion of progress. The entire previous history is the history of the various conflicts and manifestations of violence.
