Day at Night: Edward Teller, nuclear physicist 

What do you think he’d say about the world now?

@@holitinne yeah people don't know if they're a man, woman, or something else.

Well, years before it even started filming! That said, it was an amazing movie, and Christopher Nolan should make a spinoff biopic of Teller with Benny Safdie reprising the title role!

If we're facing an actual end of the world, massive nuclear war for instance, I expect all the Emergency Broadcast stations to play exactly that music.

That’s Dr. Teller to you

Mr. Teller was, of course, not honest - except he occasionally spoke very openly about the actual truth behind they lies they popagated.

.............................real scientists almost always get "ripped off" by the status quo............!!!

thx kindly

Yes and He gave all what he knew for the Homeland! A one of great hungarians!

@@viragbalazs711 Thanks kindly Sir. Please check out if you're able: www.nosuchthingasterminal.com All about the medicine people like Teller should have gotten but didn't. Esten Veled. Southern

My family is from Bukovina. My name is not Fran. My grandmother's name was Zsok. Thanks again. Best Always Southern

If he were smooter he wouln't had been such a good scientist. Science is not about acting good around people, is about finding out the truth and telling them what it is. If they can't handle it they are undeserving of it.

Indeed, but in this case Teller escaped the "becoming nazi" Hungary of the pre ww2 period, more specifically he never came back to the country that had pushed their jewish citizens but also the others at the edge of a cliff. He never knew red Hungary.

And Teller starting his response. There has been an enormous... increase in technology. NOT in science. And the interviewer: Not in PURE science. That part of the dialogue IS hilarious.

do you want a medal

here you go 🏅

Shit in your hair I will

Word choices means nothing, he's a war monger.

Yeah...were big on tidal energy here in New Mexico...

E. T.

Is that you Dick?

Are you alive?

That paper is literally full of errors...

I don't think he developed the idea very much. One of his greatest regrets was that he dabbled from idea to idea without finishing what he started. Freeman Dyson comforted him regarding this regret while Oppenheimer was on his deathbed

if he didn't made the bomb someone else would, the point is not about having no bomb. Is about the morality of mankind.

they are listed. just check the description and they have the tape date :]

Well said. As it stands we are like monkeys holding an hand grenade

@@imaseeker100 The tragic life of J. Robert Oppenheimer post-WWII is the example to look at here. He realized the disastrous consequences of his having headed up the Manhattan Project even as he watched the first test (his famous Baghavad Gita quote)...but when he tried to warn the rest of the world he was viciously persecuted as "anti-American" and his career, health and life came to an end.

@@rebekahlevy4562 To be honest Oppenheimer never took part on an anti nuke protest, never visited the Pugwash conferences, and wasnt involved in the anti-nuke movement at all. He had a religious follower base like Rabi, who later claimed things which never happened.

@@gaborrajnai6213 Did I say anything at all above regarding Oppenheimer?!? Nope!

Meanwhile the Communist scientists in China are working in the thousands to make sure they are able to defeat the United States in the near future. It'll take another world war to change attitudes again as it did during WWII.

Actually I see it a lot.

There was a possibility that Hitlers' Germany did it first, so you need to see it in a historical context

:)) Hungarian, right.

Because we didn't go to any planets, this demonic individual knows this.

@@user-pg7cx9wo1m I think all the evidence pointed that we went to the moon. It's not a big deal going to the moon. its only 300000 km away.

he said 1935

@@unicornsargood9840 Where did he say that ?

The “Dr. Strangelove” character was actually based in part on Edward Teller. Other influences include Wernher Von Braun, Henry Kissinger, and Herman Kahn. Kahn worked for a government research company called the RAND corporation. At one point in the film, Strangelove mentions commissioning a study from the “BLAND Corporation,” which was a humorous reference to RAND.

@@cinedelasestrellas Agree Kahn and Braun, not others. Kissinger hunted Nazi's with a gun during the Battle of the Bulge and received a Bronze Star for his effort, and Teller fled the Nazis and became an American patriot. Strangelove was SS and a rocket scientist. You may hate Teller and Kissinger, but drawing a Swastika on them is wrong.

@@nuqwestr I never meant to imply that I hate anyone or that Teller and Kissinger were Nazis, just that they had some mannerisms regarding the discussion of nuclear weapons that Peter Sellers used for inspiration in that role. I read that about the role (i.e.mention of those four names) somewhere years ago, though I can't remember where.

@@cinedelasestrellas I recently saw a documentary on the making of the movie, and also other interviews with people who make it clear that it was not Kissinger or Teller, but Kahn and von Braun. Herman Kahn is famous for coming up with "an acceptable number" for losses in the case of all out nuclear war. Kahn's words are actually quoted in the movie: www.wired.com/2018/03/geeks-guide-doctor-strangelove/

Bölcsen elhárította a tudósok felelősségét a bombahasználatról, a demokráciára. "To make the decision which belongs to people whom the decisions affect." Gondolom akkor megkérdezték a japán embereket? Vagy az amerikaiakat talán? A válasz az, hogy egyik sem lett informálva.

أستغفر الله

سبحان الله

He just hated communists.

No, Strangelove was a composite of Herman Kahn and Werner von Braun. Teller has a Hungarian accent, not German, and he was a Nazi hater, so don't hang a Swastika on him, please.

I believe Frits Haber also worked actively and purposefully on developing mustard gas.

The hydrogen bomb could be used for electricity, look up the pacer reactor. Fusion power.

It's only governments who start wars, not people.

The cold war was fake.

Easy to argue and win, since there has not been a world war since the creation of the bomb. Mutually assured destruction works.

Why state the obvious? Of course he knew we went to the moon.

por supuesto@@sananselmospacescienceodys7308

What experiments on special ed children? I've never heard of any experiments on children. By all of the information I've read, more than anyone else, Oppenheimer felt morally responsible for his part in the development of nuclear weapons, he felt that he had blood on his hands.

@@MarkSudduth1 The information is publicly available on MULTIPLE respected publications. I'm not going to spoonfeed you~~~it's easily found in both libraries and the internet.

@@Rubin4749 My purpose in asking where I could find such information was not to be spoon-fed, rather it was in the hope that you might actually look for the reference and read it and discover that you have falsely accused Oppenheimer of unethical medical testing on mentally handicapped children. Your reference is almost certainly going to be the book “ The Plutonium Files: America's secret medical experiments in the Cold War” or if not the book directly then your reference would reference this book because this book documented several unethical experiments that were done without the patients' knowledge or consent, including an experiment where 57 developmentally disabled children were fed oatmeal laced with radioactive tracers in an experiment sponsored by MIT and the Quaker Oats Company. Oppenheimer never worked at MIT or for the Quaker Oats Company, furthermore, the nature of the experiments was medical and experimental, and Oppenheimer never worked in medical physics and he was strictly a theorist, never in Oppenheimer’s life did he do any work in experimental physics. Oppenheimer was the director of Los Alamos for 2 yrs from Nov. 1943 to Nov 1945. As the Director he was directly responsible for the health and safety conditions at Los Alamos and he was understandably very concerned because they would be handling the recently discovered radioactive element, Plutonium 238. The effects from exposure to Plutonium was a complete unknown from toxicity to radiation exposure, so he brought in one of the few experts in the field of the health effects of radiation on humans, Dr. Louis H. Hempelmann MD, Ph.D., to run the health and safety department at Los Alamos. Hempelmann soon proposed experimental studies to document the effect of Plutonium injected in rats with the ultimate goal of eventually moving on to studies on Humans. Oppenheimer authorized the experiments to begin immediately but stressed that the resources at Los Alamos were stretched very thin and he could afford to give him no more than 10 scientists to work on the project. Oppenheimer suggested that he collaborate with the medical experts at the other Manhatten Project sites such as Oak Ridge, Hanford, Rochester, and the Chicago lab because they would have the same health and safety concerns as Los Alamos and would likely have more resources and be better equipped to conduct such experiments. After approximately 1 year of experiments on rats, Hempelmann decided they needed to begin experimental research on human test subjects and Oppenheimer authorized the studies to begin with humans. It is important to state exactly what “authorized” means in this context, it only means to grant permission to Hempelman to begin the experiments and use the resources of Los Alamos which were limited to providing a small amount of Plutonium to Oak Ridge and Rochester where the actual experiments were conducted. Oppenheimer was not involved in planning out the details of the experiments nor was he responsible for ensuring that that was in line with medical ethics guidelines, indeed Oppenheimer was not even qualified or educated or trained in medicine, he was NOT a medical doctor. It was Hempelman who was responsible for the experiments to be performed in an ethical manner and it was Hempelman who would be directly involved in the experiments, NOT Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer’s involvement was to essentially say, YES do the experiments…that’s all nothing more. Oppenheimer was not involved in injecting patients with Plutonium without informed consent. He wasn’t even at Los Alamos when the actual experiments were performed because he resigned soon after. Was Oppenheimer responsible for the serious ethics violation that occurred in these studies that went on for years after his departure? I don’t see how he could be, but yeah, let us blame Oppenheimer for what Hempelman did and while we’re at it lets also tack on the experiments done on mentally handicapped children by researchers at MIT and Quacker oats. There, I spoon-fed you all of the details because god forbid you should provide a single reference to back up your accusations and discover that you got the story completely and utterly wrong and called a peaceful man with high moral convictions an immoral piece of shit. Shame on you.

@@MarkSudduth1 I am on RU-vid for comments like these. Thank you!

Yes…You are wrong! You have no idea what you are talking about!

There were a great number of people who can and should be given credit for defeating Germany in world war II, to my knowledge, Edward Teller did nothing to deserve the slightest bit of credit for the allied victory. What exactly do you think Teller did?

The United states didn't needed atom bombs to defeat Germany.

1) He had a smaller role in the Manhattan project compared to many others. 2) Germany surrendered BEFORE the nuclear bomb was ready and Japan was almost defeated as well. 3) His main contributions were after the war with the development of hydrogen bombs (thermonuclear bombs). Nazi germany was LOONG gone by then. It is quite hard to understand your comment.

complet asshole

Oppenheimer? What fundamentals did he contribute to? Black holes werent a new thing, they were theorized by Schwartshild back in 1916 in a WWI trench.

So...?

jewish hungarian. Like majority of great scientistst of the mid 20th century.

Like who?

Hungarian fater and Jewish mother.

the original Dr. Strangelove

It's a matter of accent, not bad English.

@@ARBB1 ok Captain Obvious. I'm the same nationality as him...

@@kbuss10 Then why say it's bad English? Non sense comment

@@ARBB1 because even I speak better English. The only one who doesn't make sense is you. I was referring to the fact that geniuses can be weirdly bad in certain things

@@kbuss10 Teller only started speaking English after he was 20 years old, in a time without continuous exposure to the language. The fact you speak well means nothing to Teller's situation, as well as to other scientists of the same time, who spoke just like him.

Tf? 😂

shame on you!

Norwegianization you are a dangerous moron.
