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.

#Szilard era ossessionato dalla paura che #Hitler arrivasse all'atomica,e quindi scrutava ossessivamente ogni scoperta scientifica e tutto quello che accadeva intorno a lui.
E' una lezione a guardarci sempre intorno e a scrutare i nemici della democrazia e libertà

"#Fermi è stato infatti uno delle personalità chiave dell’intero progetto: non inventò la bomba atomica, ma lui e #Szilárd hanno sicuramente inventato il reattore nucleare".

Oppenheimer, i fisici e la bomba

L’arma nucleare fu un lavoro collettivo di scienziati come Fermi, Einstein e Szilárd. Se l’obiettivo comune era arrivare al risultato prima dei nazisti, gli esiti non li videro d’accordo

Leo Szilard’s short story The Mark Gable Foundation is a classic. The satire of how-to-retard-science will be familiar to anyone whose work relies on research grants. If you can find a copy of his collection Voice of the Dolphins, get it. The typed manuscript is among his papers available online from #UCSD libraries: https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/object/bb33804055

Came up in conversation the other day, so posting it here for anyone who might be interested.

How an H.G. Wells sci-fi novel predicted Oppenheimer and atomic bombs

Science fiction met nuclear fission when Hungarian physicist Leó Szilárd pondered the explosive potential of nuclear energy.

On this day in 1930 the US granted a #patent, number 1781541, to Albert #Einstein and nuclear physicist Leó #Szilárd for their invention of a #refrigerator with no moving parts. It used an external heat source to cause various fluids (they describe a mix of water, butane and ammonia) to evaporate or be absorbed in one another as they move through its many pipes and chambers.
It is perhaps the most wizardly thing bearing Einstein's name.
