The preeminent transnational community in our culture is science. With the release of nuclear energy in the first half of the twentieth century that model commonwealth decisively challenged the power of the nation-state. — Richard Rhodes As quoted in Book Review titled 'The Men Who Made the ...
Austrian-Swedish physicist Lise Meitner is known for leading a group of scientists, along with Otto Hahn, who were the first to discover that when it absorbed an extra neutron, there was a nuclear fission of uranium. The process they discovered is the process that was the basis for nuclear ...
The distinctive Western character begins with the Greeks, who invented the habit of deductive reasoning and the science of geometry. — Bertrand Russell In 'Western Civilization', collected in In Praise of Idleness and Other Essays (1935), 161. ...
Scrapbooks containing material on the Tizard mission (1940) which gave the Americans, on Churchill’s orders, our scientific secrets regarding the possibility of making an atomic bomb and the newly invented cavity magnetron. Sir Henry Tizard led the mission with John Cockcroft as his deputy. ...
1966. The cause of this crash is not known for certain. It is believed to have been the work of assassins that killed the Indian physicist Bhaba, who was then head of the nuclear energy program and was also on the plane." A year later, Art's mother found that she could not live wi...
who translates faster and better? why the average human couldn't drive an f1 car atomic expert explains "oppenheimer" bomb scenes every 'useless' body part explained from head to toe how pilots and scientists are thinking about the future of air travel how to max out at every fantasy ...
My observations of the young physicists who seem to be most like me and the friends I describe in this book tell me that they feel as we would if we had been chained to those same oars. Our young counterparts aren’t going into nuclear or particle physics (they tell me it’s too ...
Strassmann have discovered a new type of nuclear reaction, the splitting into two smaller nuclei of the nuclei of uranium and thorium under neutron bombardment. Thus they demonstrated the production of nuclei of barium, lanthanum, strontium, yttrium, and, more recently, of xenon and caesium. It ...
