Dedicating your life to scientific pursuits can have countless benefits for humanity, but you have to bear in mind the potential drawbacks. You could study something before its dangerous effects are known, like Marie Curie, invent something monumentally destructive, like J. Robert Oppenheimer, or accidentally fall through a time hole to the court of King Arthur like Dr. Vivian Morgan, the protagonist of the film we're here to talk about today.Luckily, Vivian isn't the sort of person to get bogged down in things like 'trying to understand what happened' and 'attempting to get back to her home time', and instead throws herself wholeheartedly into her two passions: speedrunning the industrial revolution and murdering her rivals at court. But can she truly make life better for the serfs of England? Can Arthur be persuaded that the King's Law isn't always right? And why does Merlin keep spinning in a circle, emitting colourful gas?

The success of the submarine-borne Polaris missile was a critical nuclear deterrent that helped President Kennedy stare down Khruschev during the 1961 Berlin Crisis. Ever since, this weapon has been a key strategic tool of the U.S. Tom Ramos's book "From Berkeley to Berlin," chronicles the scientific journey leading to the development of this and other nuclear weapons and the singular man whose "buoyant optimism spread to everyone around him and accounted for the attainment of many an 'impossible' objective."Founded in 1931 on the U.C. Berkeley campus by famed physicist Ernest Lawrence, (Nobel Prize-winning inventor of the cyclotron in 1938) "The Rad Lab" attracted some of the finest talent in America, including J. Robert Oppenheimer. In 1941, Lawrence challenged his team to deter Joseph Stalin's nuclear program in the USSR. Oppenheimer and Lawrence collaborated for more than a decade, their work together culminating on the Manhattan Project. Lawrence then founded the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, whose team further developed nuclear technology, including the Polaris missile.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

The story of the atomic age began decades before Robert Oppenheimer watched a mushroom cloud form over the New Mexico desert at the Trinity nuclear test in mid 1945. It begins in 1895, with Henri Becquerel’s accidental discovery of radioactivity, setting in motion a series of remarkable and horrifying events. By the early 20th century, a brilliant group of scientists—including Ernest Rutherford, Leo Szilard, Enrico Fermi, and others—were pushing the boundaries of knowledge, seeking to answer fundamental questions about this source of energy that had 2 million times the energy density of oil: What is this mysterious radiation? Could it provide an infinite energy source, where a basketball of it was equal to an oil field? And, ominously, could it be weaponized? Today’s guest is nuclear physicist Frank Close, author of “Destroyer of Worlds: The Deep History of the Nuclear Age.” We look at the complete history of the atomic age, from the initial curiosity about radioactivity to the creation of the hydrogen bomb—a weapon of almost unimaginable destructive potential, capable of eradicating life on Earth. This is an account of the scientific discoveries that unlocked the atom’s power, the ethical dilemmas faced by scientists, and the horrifying realization that this newfound energy could lead to humanity’s undoing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The truism that history is written by its winners reflects the literature about how the bomb came about, with apologetic books most often written by U.S. scholars. The physicist Robert Oppenheimer, the nuke's ‘father', is repeatedly centre stage, as in the case of the recent film about him. These are elitist stories that more often than not ignore the suffering and violence of the bomb to laypeople in general, and to marginalised groups in particular.

Jesse Eisenberg wrote, directed and co-stars in A Real Pain. In the film two mismatched cousins embark on a Holocaust tour through Poland to understand the history of their late grandmother who is a Holocaust survivor. It's a beautiful, honest, poetic and hilarious film that is listed as one of the ten best movies of 2024 by the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and the National Board of Review. As Owen Gleiberman wrote in Variety "Eisenberg has scripted with an ear for the music of ideas and for contrasting voices, he presents the story of these two cousins — how they interact, what they mean to each other, how their past intersects with the present — in a way that's so supple you can touch their reality." I sat down with Jesse at the Ram's Head Inn, a seaside hideaway in Shelter Island. The historic property was the site of several famous physics conferences that hosted J.

En el capítulo 11 del Bhagavad-Gita, un texto sagrado del hinduismo, el dios Krishna revela su forma divina al guerrero Arjuna, y el pasaje describe su presencia con estas palabras: "Si el resplandor de mil soles estallara de repente en el cielo, sería como el esplendor del todopoderoso." Años después, se relacionó al científico estadounidense Robert Oppenheimer con la frase "más brillante que mil soles", alegando que la mencionó poco después de contemplar los efectos de la prueba Trinity, en la que los Estados Unidos utilizaron por primera vez un arma nuclear en el desierto e Nuevo México, el 16 de julio de 1945. No se sabe con seguridad si la dijo en aquel instante. Sin embargo, la frase se asociaría en los años posteriores a las explosiones nucleares, especialmente después de que el físico alemán Robert Jungk la usara como título de uno de sus libro de 1956, donde narraba los pormenores del desarrollo científico de la bomba. En una entrevista de 1965 Oppenheimer declaró: "Supimos que el mundo no volvería a ser el mismo. Algunas personas se rieron, otras lloraron. La mayoría permaneció en silencio. Recordé la frase de la escritura hindú, el Bhagavad-Gita: cuando Visnú está tratando de persuadir al Príncipe de que debe cumplir con su deber y, para impresionarlo, adopta su forma de múltiples brazos y dice: "Ahora me he convertido en la Muerte, el destructor de mundos".

Known for its lush landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs, St. John is also steeped in stories of the supernatural. The island is a blend of paradise and mystery, with its history marked by dark events that have left an indelible imprint on its landscape. Our exploration begins with the infamous Jumbles, a series of ghostly occurrences tied to the island's storied past. The Jumbles are said to be a place where the spirits of the past linger, their restless souls wandering among the trees and ruins. The history of St. John includes times of upheaval, with its indigenous populations, colonial influences, and even tales of piracy all contributing to the island's unsettling atmosphere. Locals claim to have witnessed strange happenings around the Jumbles, where the air turns cold and whispers echo through the dense forest. These phenomena are believed to be tied to both the island's dark history and the unresolved conflicts that occurred there. Some say the spirits of those who died in battle or of unnatural causes never left, forever bound to the land they once occupied. The next chilling tale we unravel is that of Robert Oppenheimer's haunted beach, a place that seems to carry an energy that cannot be explained by science or reason. Oppenheimer, best known as one of the key figures behind the development of the atomic bomb, had a significant connection to St. John, where he spent time on the island. This particular beach, however, has become the center of paranormal activities. Visitors to the site report feelings of being watched, strange sounds that seem to come from nowhere, and an overwhelming sense of dread that falls over them unexpectedly. As we delve deeper into the story, it becomes clear that Oppenheimer's connection to the island may have left behind more than just physical footprints in the sand. Some believe that the spirits of those affected by the devastating consequences of the atomic bomb are somehow tethered to this place, and their energies have coalesced around the beach. Others suggest that Oppenheimer himself, with his profound moral struggles and the weight of his scientific contributions, may have inadvertently brought a curse with him to the island. The unsettling occurrences have intrigued both locals and paranormal investigators, many of whom have attempted to document the strange happenings. Whether it is the whispers of ghosts or the echoes of a past shrouded in secrecy, the hauntings on St. John continue to captivate the imagination. In this episode, we also explore the broader history of the island, from its days as a plantation hub to its status as a national park today. As we uncover the hidden stories behind these haunted sites, it becomes clear that St. John is much more than just a picturesque island—it is a place where history, the supernatural, and the unexplained collide. We invite our listeners to keep an open mind as we share these chilling encounters and encourage them to explore the mysteries of St. John for themselves, as you never know what you might encounter on this enigmatic island.   Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural.

Todos hemos escuchado sobre el Incidente de Roswell en 1947, pero ¿sabías que solo un año después, en 1948, ocurrió otro evento aún más misterioso en Nuevo México? Nos referimos al Incidente OVNI de Aztec, conocido como 'El Roswell Olvidado'. En este documental, exploramos la increíble historia de la recuperación de un OVNI de 30 metros de diámetro y los supuestos cuerpos alienígenas encontrados por el gobierno estadounidense en las cercanías de Aztec, Nuevo México. Este caso, que algunos consideran más impactante que Roswell, ha estado rodeado de encubrimientos, teorías conspirativas y testimonios inquietantes. ¿Qué descubrieron figuras como Robert Oppenheimer, el padre de la bomba atómica, el cual estuvo el interior de la misteriosa nave? ¿Podría esta nave recuperada haber influido en los avances científicos y militares de mediados del siglo XX? Al igual que Roswell, el caso Aztec está cargado de misterio: desde los documentos clasificados hasta las preguntas sobre por qué este incidente ha permanecido en las sombras durante tanto tiempo." En este video analizamos: - Las similitudes y diferencias entre Roswell y Aztec. - Cómo el gobierno pudo haber encubierto el hallazgo del OVNI de 1948. - La autopsia profunda que fue realizada a esos extraños seres extraterrestres y los resultados. - El papel que jugó la figura de Robert Oppenheimer en este caso, el cual se adentró en la misteriosa nave y encontró algo asombroso. - ¿Qué tecnología alienígena fue supuestamente extraída de este incidente?

Oppenheimer is a 2023 epic biographical thriller film[5][6][7] written, directed and co-produced by Christopher Nolan.[8] It stars Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, the American theoretical physicist credited with being the "father of the atomic bomb" for his role in the Manhattan Project—the World War II undertaking that developed the first nuclear weapons. Based on the 2005 biography American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, the film chronicles the career of Oppenheimer, with the story predominantly focusing on his studies, his direction of the Manhattan Project during World War II, and his eventual fall from grace due to his 1954 security hearing. The film also stars Emily Blunt as Oppenheimer's wife "Kitty", Matt Damon as head of the Manhattan Project Leslie Groves, Robert Downey Jr. as United States Atomic Energy Commission member Lewis Strauss, and Florence Pugh as Oppenheimer's communist lover Jean Tatlock. The ensemble supporting cast includes Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek, and Kenneth Branagh.

After the BRICS meeting in Kazan, a picture of a bundle of fake BRICS banknotes began to circulate online. Right up to a picture of Putin holding one, like a mobster holds a cigar. The intent was mocking. But while the end goal of the kind of paper that rappers shove into g-strings is still a long way off - in the background, the bureaucratic elves of BRICS were chipping away at the dense, dull, paperwork of a new payments system. This was never going to be a big bang. More like popping the world's biggest roll of bubble wrap. After all, like the nuclear secrets themselves, the mechanism for making a new international method for the settlement of accounts is an obscure and technical thing. And it is eighty years since anyone tried to do it from scratch. Few people are better placed to be the Robert Oppenheimer to this kind of project than Warwick Powell.

On this episode, the first in Season 9, we get stuck into the vast and sprawling history of The Manhattan Project and the creation of the atomic bomb. The creation and utilisation of such an unbelievably powerful weapon changed the dynamics of power globally and the results are still being felt today. The Manhattan Project was a WWII initiative which brought together the most brilliant of minds to conceptualise and then develop a weapon formidable enough to compel the Axis powers to capitulate. Spearheaded by the now infamous J. Robert Oppenheimer and his macho military counterpart General Leslie Groves, the project mobilised an extensive team of globally reknowned physicists at a secret encampment in New Mexico called Los Alamos. There they collaborated on their own theories and advanced human knowledge leaps and bounds in such a short time; focussing primarily on the new school of their craft, quantum physics and then more practically the design and production of weapons-grade nuclear materials and a mean by which to blow them up! All this was being done amidst fears of Nazi Germany's parallel efforts, the Allied forces hastened to pioneer this groundbreaking technology and have it ready to fire before the lads got their shot off somewhere. Unfortunately for the more trigger happy of the US military elite, Germany's surrender before the bomb was battle-ready meant that the remaining Japanese Imperial forces faced the consequences, with Hiroshima and Nagasaki suffering atomic attacks in August 1945. These bombings, which abruptly ended the war after years of massive conventional bombardments, underscored the terrifying potency of nuclear arms and marked the apex of scientific ingenuity yielding the most destructive force known to humanity.

 Just as big pharma has recently discovered a simple mechanism to reverse weight gain and obesity, it is highly likely that soon, we will discover something equally simple that triggers the onset of aging, postulates Joel Geiderman, a distinguished physician and professor at Cedars-Sinai and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA who is considered one of the pioneers of emergency medicine. It could be as simple as a protein we can block. And with AI speeding up research, Geiderman firmly believes the day we “cure” aging is not far off. This entirely plausible concept is the basis for his novel, The Plasma Cell Report. But then what?   Geiderman cautions that so much could go wrong, and that society and our planet are simply not ready for nature's course to change.   He'd be happy to chat with you about this. Among the concerns he points to are:An ever-expanding population that will skew increasingly toward older people and could ostensibly double in number every twenty years.Uncertainty around whether Earth really has the natural resources - from energy to water and food - to support this ongoing population growth.Doubt about how to meet the increased need for infrastructure -- everything from transportation and housing to education and healthcare facilities.Questions over social issues such as entitlements such as social security and how to finance them as the number of retired people grows as a share of the population.Matters of equity: who would have access to the new treatments? What about those left behind?Moral issues such as: would we be interfering with a divine plan? Doesn't nature know best? And in times like these, we must also consider:The risk of older generations maintaining a grip on top leadership positions to the detriment of change and renewal; andThe potential dangers of lifetime terms for people in public office (e.g., the Supreme Court). As the father of the atomic bomb Robert Oppenheimer said, “The deep things in science are not found because they are useful; they are found because it is possible to find them.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.

J. Robert Oppenheimer (nacido el 22 de abril de 1904 en Nueva York, Nueva York, EE. UU.; fallecido el 18 de febrero de 1967 en Princeton, Nueva Jersey) fue un físico teórico y administrador científico estadounidense, conocido por ser director del Laboratorio de Los Álamos (1943-1945) durante el desarrollo de la bomba atómica y director del Instituto de Estudios Avanzados de Princeton (1947-1966). Las acusaciones de deslealtad condujeron a una audiencia gubernamental que resultó en la pérdida de su autorización de seguridad y de su puesto como asesor de los más altos niveles del gobierno de los EE. UU. El caso se convirtió en una causa célebre en el mundo de la ciencia debido a sus implicaciones en relación con cuestiones políticas y morales relacionadas con el papel de los científicos en el gobierno.

Following the success of the Manhattan Project, the U.S. sought to develop a potentially more powerful and deadly weapon – the Hydrogen Bomb. Despite having led the team at Los Alamos, J. Robert Oppenheimer became an outspoken opponent of the H-Bomb. His stance made him enemies who sought to undermine his influence, and soon his security clearance came into question. Today Lindsay is joined by Pulitzer prize-winning biographer, Kai Bird, to examine Oppenheimer's life, and eventual fall from grace. His book, American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J.

In Spring of 1945, the tides of World War 2 turned. Germany surrendered to the Allies, but Japan vowed to keep fighting. To prevent further casualties, America knew they would have to demonstrate their power, and force Japan to surrender quickly. At Los Alamos, J. Robert Oppenheimer and his team raced to get ready for the first physical test of an atomic bomb. But as the scientists grew closer to seeing their creation in action, new questions arose about how, and if, such a powerful weapon should be used. Unleashing their creation might deliver a critical turning point in the war, but could also open the door to a dangerous and complicated new era for humanity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In Spring of 1943, hundreds of scientists and technicians moved to a remote location in the mountains of New Mexico to work at a secret laboratory. Under the guidance of their leader, J. Robert Oppenheimer, they rushed to figure out how to channel the power of an atomic chain reaction to create a bomb. Meanwhile, secret plants in Tennessee and Washington sprung up overnight to produce the uranium and plutonium that would fuel the weapon.But the leaders of the Manhattan Project faced another challenge: how to keep such a sprawling enterprise hidden from enemies and prevent the designs from falling into the wrong hands.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
