During his visit to San Diego yesterday for a speech at the University of California, Harold Keen spoke to Dr. Edward Teller, who pioneered development of the hydrogen bomb. The famous Hungarian born physicist, now on the university faculty, has been one of the most outspoken opponents of any ban on nuclear testing.

The guy who played Teller in Openheimer was great
Benny Safdie, super talented writer and director. Co-wrote and directed Uncut Gems and Good Time. He played an intellectually disabled character in the movie Good Time and knocked that role out of the park. Both films are worth checking out.
@@KetchupOverdose I was wondering who he was - he projected a mixture of arrogance, brilliance, and menace at the same time. I didn't realise Teller actually spoke like that. I kept thinking the film would have been better if they'd concentrated more on Oppenheimer and Teller, and cut out all the stunt casting (does Rami Malek actually speak?).
@@AshleyPomeroywell if you watched the movie you know Rami Malek is key too having Strauss get the boot
Them Safdie Bros are next big thing in Hollywood.
They won't open the gate for me
Who's watching after Oppenheimer
Me lmao
Long before I knew Oppenheimer was coming out!
Nah
Haven't seen it yet. I recently read Teller's autobiography. A movie could be made about his life, as well. Fascinating individual.
His H-Bomb explanation in Oppenheimer was incredible
I'm just waiting for Nolan to make spinoff biopic of Teller, with Safdie reprising his role. Teller's colorful life & career would make another breathtaking 3-hour film, maybe even a 4-hour one. The man lived till 95 after all, and he was extremely active in his career till his very final days!
benny safdie in oppenheimer nailed the accent
Almost, as a hungarian I could tell it’s not a hungarian accent, but it was very close
@@mmuu9744yep, agree 😊
I dunno...I just really like Teller's tone of voice.
A misunderstood man. Famous for his "gruffness". Really no different than other physicists I've worked with.
Me too, he sounds a bit like Dracula.
Lol, I keep hearing Bella Lugosi too!
@@tlpricescope7772 Beacause both of them are Hungarian.
@@tlpricescope7772 Both of them were hungarian.
The actor in Oppenheimer played the character accurately
His reaction when the cameraman shoved the camera in his face was priceless. Clearly taken aback but took it in stride. What a class act!
Thanks for uploading. Fascinating.
Loved him in Oppenheimer.
The actor who played Teller did a great job at his accent
No he didn't. Benny Safdie had a total American accent
@@SponsorShort To say Safdie had a total American accent in the film is just ridiculous. Maybe he didn't nail Teller's accent, but to say it was totally American is objectively incorrect.
gigachad voice did not expect that xD
One of the greatest Hungarian scientists! He and his fellow Hungarian scientists like Leó Szilárd or Eugene Wigner were called as "The Martians" - because our strange language.
I believe they were called "The Martians" because they were so advanced scientifically, intellectually, and mathematically - above and beyond the level of their time. For example, there is the report of John von Neumann where a mathematician stayed up all night trying to perform a calculation and von Neumann did it in his head in a few minutes. Von Neuman also came up with the concept of the electronic computer. The "Martians" are just a few who were saved from the Nazis.
Teller was brilliant but Von Neumann was without equal
@@awestphal9602According to Teller's autobiography, I believe it was both, although yes, it certainly had much to do with their extraordinary achievements in science.
"Mr. Teller, could nuclear explosions be used for baking pastries on a massive scale?" We've come a long way. Currently we're closer than ever to a nuclear war - and we certainly found a way to change the weather.
Now I'm hungry for a pop tart
Teller was a major climate alertist and carried out sound calculations for temperatures rising and polar ice melting due to Carbon dioxide increase. He started his emission estimates from the 1800s. Spot on
not the closest we've ever been lol
@@tear728 Yea, not even close.
That doesn't even make a little bit of sense
This guy reminds me so much of one of those fellas who directed Uncut Gems.
Who’s here after Barbie?
how did you guess?!
Thank you!
That is one epic conversation starter.
You could definitely build canals with nukes. They might be a little radioactive, but it would work 😂
This is my bloodline. Thank you for sharing, it is amazing being able to access parts of his life 💕
He is my favorite scientist. I am from India
@hemant4mech That makes two us!
Deserves way more credit than Oppenheimer
You are Related too Teller?
Just deceivers on the world stage
This guy was unfathomably based and far ahead of his time.
too bad he was kind of a genocidal maniac
@@swaggyyankee1627 how so?
@@freeaboo6185 He wanted to blow up an area in Alaska with nuclear bombs in order to create a harbor. This would've affected the lives of native people in the area, decimating wildlife and potentially poisoning many natives. Yet he championed the project.
@@swaggyyankee1627 calling him a genocidal maniac because of that is a bit much, he didn’t want to do it because of the consequences but most likely to show the new untouched uses of nuclear power. Also, teller is known for his wacky and insubordinate ideas and designs, so I mean, kinda part of his academic personality.
@@swaggyyankee1627 genocidal maniac is a bit much I mean the man literally opposed the dropping of the bomb on Japan 😂
"Animals could be bred and slaughtered!"
Hahahaha
"There would be no shocking memories, and the prevailing emotion will be one of nostalgia for those left behind, COMBINED... WITH THE SPIRIT OF THE BOLD CURIOSITY FOR THE ADVENTURE AHEAD! HA!!"
You'll never shake Kitty's hand
1 hydrogen bomb ah ah ah
2 hydrogen bombs ah ah ah
3 hydrogen bombs ah ah ah
Ho-hi-ho, the hydrogen bomb
Blast if off, oh let it off!
Ho-hi-ho, thr hydrogen bomb
May God have mercy of me!
They didn't know for sure if an atomic explosion could be contained or if it would lead to a chain reaction that could blow up everything, but yet they decided to do it, and all in the name of science. And if something had gone wrong during Operation Argus in which nuclear explosives were detonated high up in the atmosphere, we wouldn't have been informed about it.
That was a great exaggeration and dramatisation in the movie Oppenheimer.
In reality they did know that it wouldn't cause a chain reaction that would ignite the atmosphere. It was not a relevant possibility to consider
Greater energies and temperatures than those released in atomic bombs happened many times in the atmosphere from meteors, extreme weather events, stellar wind and other cosmic particles, etc. If the temperatures released in an atom bomb could ignite the atmosphere then the atmosphere would already have been ignited many times in the past from asteroid impacts like the tunguska event.
They did the calculations just in case, and showed that the energy was insufficient. Virtually nobody cares about the calculation anyway because of the above mentioned reasons why the atmosphere wouldn't ignite. The show dramatized that groups calculations as being "a small probability" of igniting the atmosphere and being a big deal to Oppenheimer (which was fine in order to make the dramatic comparison to potential nuclear war also destroying the world, but definitely didn't happen in real life)
As far as other effects, like smaller environmental concerns and electromagnetic effects in the upper atmosphere; sure governments often didn't do due diligence to protect against those smaller effects. But that's very different from thinking there was an actual chance of destroying the world
Teller should do a Bela Lugosi impression.
He's one of the Martians from Hungary.
I am very impressed how he humored this interviewer and his stupid questions.
Christopher Nolan sent Benny Safdie here to learn the accent. now im here.
Really? How do you know?
@@cbs8sandiego Benny said in. Podcast he Peard on a few weeks before premier
the bella lugosi of theorists
I can hear his Hungarian accent. He once said that he acquired most of his knowledge here in Budapest not at the University of Technology but at the famous Evangelical High School, and if Hungarian were not his mother tongue, he would not have been able to think so logically.
Can you please explain how an evangelical high school can produce logical mind? I'm not trying to be cynical here. I swear
@@SponsorShorthe meant that his knowledge the way his brain works is not because where and what he studied but because his mother language is Hungarian. There is a plenty of Hungarian scientists and Nobel prized. Basically (not only Hungarian tho) people who speak extremely hard languages have a better system to find solutions to resolve a problem. Because the language is so complex and hard your brain ( like muscles when you working out every day makes you stronger) is working 0-24 to put the words and sentences together wit extremely hard rules its all the time solving like puzzles in your head. It makes you react quicker and to find the easiest solutions to solve a problem. So basically he learned the theoretical rules of physics in the schools but he was able to find an answer, solution because his brain was already in a state since he was born that it was solving extremely hard puzzles. Our languages actually have a big impact on our brain and the way it’s works. The harder your brain has to work like your muscles the stronger it is.
@@SponsorShortThat is not what he said.
@@SponsorShort It isn't evangelical in the same sense as you may think today (American evangelical) it refers to a Lutheran school in Budapest, the Minta Gymnasium. It was a top-class Christian school, teaching Hungarian and German language and literature, Latin and Greek, religion and ethics, philosophy, geography, natural history, representative geometry, mathematics, physics, and art. It produced many top class scientists and mathematicians.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minta_Gymnasium
As an aside, the idea that religiosity is somehow incompatible with scientific excellence is just plain naive and historically ignorant (To name a few prominent examples of famous religious and very logical academics in history: Kant, Descartes, Mendel, Lemaitre, Boyle, Kierkegaard, Euler, Faraday, Maxwell, Compton, Riemann, Gibbs, Dalton, Gauss, Ernest Walton, Thompson, Pascal, Heisenberg, Nicholas Steno, Eccles, etc.)
Many people have said that a certain language (usually their native tongue) is superior for art/logic/etc. The French said it, the Germans said it, the English said it, almost all cultures have had some self serving intellectuals that have said it.
There isn't really any evidence to back up those claims
Fracking causes earthquakes
Of course it does. Water affects ground tectonics.
In California the area that is the Salton Sea was much larger. It was called Lake Cahuila. This lake affected massive earthquakes around it. Since the lake has disappeared so has much tectonic activity.
Then south towards Niland CA on the southern end of the Salton Sea there’s earthquake swarms in the loamy silty soil that is likely due to water intrusion into faults.
Sounds like he's from Transylvania. "I vant to irradiate your bloooood!"
--Frankenstein, 1931
Well yes. He was Hungarian. Most people in Transylvania speak Hungarian. Same accent.
@@bigymara Naw, they spoke what Dracula spoke. That and Gypsy.
He is called Dr. Acula
@@RaptorFromWeegee dracula's actor in the 1931 movie (Bela Lugosi) was also hungarian that's why they accents match
@@RaptorFromWeegee Hungary and Transylvania has nothing in common. Transylvania = gypsies though.
Definitely see the Dr. Strangelove coming out here
Those on the know know very welll that it was Stanilaw Ulam who made the correct calculation for the H-Bomb to work but which Teller tried to minimize,. Ulam is the real father of the H-bomb while Teller is just the mother who carried the "baby" to birth.
I only understood 1/3 of what he said
That’s 1/3 more than I understood
@@Ryan-ix2zx lol
LOL. Yeah. Very special man.
that's honesty
how?
Era un pazzo…
Gigachad bomb like 1000 mt?
Its youh job Telleeeh
let him go… hee’s a prrimuhdonna!
He was hungarian 🙂
It’s your job teller
He was the same guy that hired bob Lazar at Area 51 lol Then to deny he ever talked to him after Bob went public.
Well a man who was deeply involved in black ⚫️ ops scientific research and SAP's.
Dracula made the H bomb.
Weather... we now blame it all on Climate Change.
Interestingly Teller was also one of the earliest propagators of the idea man-made climate change
Trump suggested we try to use nukes to "blow up" hurricanes.
Damn Edward Teller or HANNs or maybe VOn Bremmen sounds very german to me Edward Teller nahh not to German ???
He was Hungarian
@@gergelylukats3167 Thanks 6 and one half dozen of the other---😏LOL
@@gergelylukats3167Austrian mother though, so he grew up speaking both Hungarian and German
Sounds Israeli😂
Why?
most eastern european jews escaped to america from the anti jewish pogroms in the 1930s-1940s
He was Hungarian. Nothing to do with jews.
@@adam_jackson
You mean nothing to do with Israelis, right? Teller *was* a Jew.
@@adam_jackson He was a hungarian jew though.
Ulam was the one who did a lot of the work and teller tried to take all the credit.
Not shocked. Can you expand on that?
He can't because it's bullshit. @@hqef616
One of the most despicable people to have lived.
BLAH BLAH BLAH
This is my bloodline. Thank you for sharing, it is amazing being able to access parts of his life 💕
Really?
Idolized him as a child. Still do!
@@kgiessen2964 He is the real Dr. Strangelove.
He was one of the worst people for not supporting Oppenheimer.
My father is an Argentinian quantum chemist who studied in the US, he met him in more than one occasion. He says he should've killed him, he was a cold warrior with no empathy for human lives
