In childhood Andrei did not like to learn math and even
stopped going to the mathematical section. He was is a strong
mathematician, but the common style wasn't suitable for
him. Often he solved the task, but could not explain its
decision. Sakharov had amazing intuition, he could foresee
what can happen. In atomic physics there was no strict
equations, mathematics didn't help, therefore intuition was
very important.

5. Since the late 1950s he advocated the cessation of nuclear weapons tests.

6. In 1974 Sakharov predicted the advent of the Internet.
