... I've spent the last two days (total, maybe 6 hours?) going over this video for a research paper... Pretty sure I got this. Definitely an awesome video, hearing the stories from a primary source is always interesting. I wish that each of the veterans had a bit longer to talk though; I felt like Brian Schwartz kept interrupting the tales of the men in order to make it go by more quickly, which was sad since each of the stories were interesting enough for me to want to keep listening.
stories from the source is not just interesting it is the best kind of source possible. There is nothing like experience in life, you can read Oliver Twist but unless you lived in a group home you can’t fully understand it. Anyways I assume you got your degree how has the last decade been for you? I hope you got a A in your paper.
Doctor Mack, the second orthopedic surgeon to practice in Aspen, Colorado, attended Princeton University. I once, over dinner, asked doctor Mack, “Did you ever have a class with professor Einstein or professor Oppenheimer?” Doctor Mack replied, “No, but professor Oppenheimer & professor Einstein came into a lecture late one afternoon, and they asked, “Can we take these seats…”.” A you Orthopedic fellow, Andrew Bullington, MD, from Fairhope, Alabama, said, “Hank, best cocktail party question I have ever heard!” “I will never forget that!”
A team of British and Canadian scientist had been working throughout the 30s on the device and went over to the states with their results. It is shameful of the US that they were sidelined and agreements with the UK and Canada on sharing from the end of the war on were broken.
@Terence Winters for made that deal with Churchill at the start but for passed away and Truman killed it then the spy thing was exposed but they still got some help unofficially from our scientist when needed thru a back door deal 'the British knew 90% of what was needed anyway FDR AND CHUECHILL IS WHAT I MENT
@@mc6506 When other nations say something is secret it is kept as just that. Britain, France and Canada worked on the idea for years without letting the USA into the secret until much later, when in the teeth of the war. So no, America did not help.

I’m grateful for this film clip
Really quite good! But who is the wholesale goofball at 28:16 with his ridiculous, decades-ago answered question about the bombs' targets?

I’m coming here after the film Oppenheimer and going down the rabbit hole. I am glad the scientists have this testimony

The host of this event drove me nuts with his interrupting these men as they spoke. A real shame.
I felt exactly the same thing, he could be a little more sensitive.
Absolutely correct. He should have checked his ego at the door 😊
Very good perspective on the bomb.
What a great symposium with such brilliant physicists and their discussions about the Manhattan project and the ethics of the atomic bomb...Well done.
Interesting.

Fuchs and pontecorvo and Hall ended that.

But the British classified the computation work during the war of enigma code
@@parimalpandya9645 That work was 100% British.
