Day at Night: Edward Teller, nuclear physicist

Ойын-сауық

CUNY TV is proud to re-broadcast newly digitized episodes of DAY AT NIGHT, the popular public television series hosted by the late James Day. Day was a true pioneer of public television: co-founder of KQED in San Francisco, president of WNET upon the merger of National Educational Television (NET) and television station WNDT/Channel 13, and most recently, Chairman of the CUNY TV Advisory Board. The series features fascinating interviews with notable cultural and political figures conducted in the mid 1970's. (Taped:05/08/74)

    I met Dr. Teller. I was 17 at the time and had won a mathematics competition and one of the perks was to be able to sit at the same table with this man and some others during lunch. I don't remember the others but I remember Dr. Teller. We talked about the shape of space, nuclear reactors, and nuclear war and America's enemies. It shaped me in many ways going forward. He was a patriot. I don't think anyone I can think of loved America more or had more respect for her role as THE defender of freedom than Dr. Teller. I did not know at the time that he was one of the folks who went and talked to Einstein about writing a letter to President Roosevelt. Awesome experience.

We know the negative consequences of his advocacy for nuclear energy development, a strong nuclear arsenal & a vigorous nuclear testing program. As an aside, my father was a mechanical engineer, an antique glass buyer, seller, repairer & a composer of jazz and was born on the same day (not year) of Teller.

    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.

    First, prickly =/= prick. Second, yes I'm sure he *thinks* he thinks on a level beyond most of us, that certainly is plain enough. Third, for a different viewpoint on his psychology vis-a-vis that of some other scientists, google "Cultural Enzymes, Charismatic Academies, and Routine Institutions".

    What he says about Fritz and his discovery which leads to the production of nitrogen fertilizers is a great one but lets be honest Teller knew the consequences of his work. His work was to build a Hydrogen bomb, that was the end goal.

    Here's my picture of Teller in my head: Don't you all think that the person who redefined/rewrote the word "Peace" deserved the Nobel Peace Prize? I thought that, until I've learned about Teller's brainfart of elaborating five thermonuclear devices to evaporate a chunk of Alaska in order to create an artificial harbour. That's over the top. In his times, even dropping 10 thousand warheads on USSR was proving to be more rational and necessary than disappearing a few square miles of Alaska.

    There's no denying Teller was overall a great man, one of the greatest minds EVER, and a hero in some senses for encouraging America to build an atom bomb before Germany. The problem arises though in his false attacks on Stanislaw Ulam (why??) and overly vigorous attacks on Oppenheimer. Yes Oppenheimer was a piece of crap for his experiments with radiation on special ed children. There's no denying Oppenheimer was amoral in some senses. But it seems the real problem Teller had with Oppenheimer was that Oppenheimer controlled the Manhattan Project, and got more attention than Teller. None of these things diminish Teller's intelligence, but the ego and extreme contentiousness do diminish Teller's humanity.

    @@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.

Nazi germany was LOONG gone by then. It is quite hard to understand your comment.

    No, he did not. I agree with what you are saying but he did not and possibly was not interested in any fundamental work as Feynman or Oppie were. He was a student of Heisenberg's, so that in itself is a biggie. He was more interested in the application of physics to weapons of war. More so, I think he was interested in the trappings of power than in University profession. I think the H-Bomb propelled him to power from which there was no return. He was also in awe of politicians I think!
