Kuuntelin viime yönä #YleMondo lta #BBCworld in dokkarisarjan #TheBomb ekan osan. Kyseessä on sarja, jossa seurataan #ydinase en keksimistä. Sitä on ollut tekemässä yhden keksijän, #LeoSzilard in lapsenlapsi #EmilyStrasser.

Muutoinkin todella hyvä, mutta kiinnitti huomiota, mitä sanottiin #Szilard in kahuistelleen, kun #natsismi nousi #Saksa ssa:

Ei #fasismi n suosion kasvua, vaan vastarinnan vaimeutta.

Tässä on tähän aikaan kovin tärkeä viesti.

A little-known scientist discovers something that will change the course of human history

BBC

It’s actually good, if you read it in Darla’s voice. The reporter, #ElizabethWeil, isn’t comfortable with #SamAltman’s characterization of himself as #Oppenheimer.

And, honestly, the character mainly left out of this, as in the Oppenheimer movie, is #LeoSzilard, the person who was prescient enough to get a classified patent on the chain reaction so that he could get the attention of the Brits & Americans to the true danger. I’d say that #DAIR is the Szilard in this story.

2.8.1939: #AlbertEinstein unterzeichnet einen von dem Physiker #LeóSzilárd verfassten Brief an US-Präsident Franklin D. #Roosevelt, in dem vor der Gefahr durch das nationalsozialistische #Deutschland gewarnt und die Entwicklung von #Kernwaffen angeregt wird. #OTD #OnThisDay

Primo esperimento al Mondo di un ordigno nucleare. "Morte, distruttore di mondi". Il Trinity Test e la prima bomba atomica. Gadget, la prima bomba atomica della storia, segna la svolta della Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Una creazione della quale lo stesso padre, Robert Oppenheimer, era spaventato.
Il 16 luglio 1945 esplose la prima bomba atomica.
