Wow. He refers to the security clearance as a “mistake” but with all I’ve investigated it comes across as things went exactly as designed by a select few. I love how he does not allow the interviewer to interrupt or derail him or what he has to say. ..”we should not drop the bomb on Japan with out first demonstrating it to the Japanese”❤ man.. the weight he feels, it’s heavy in his voice. “To call is Starwars is nonsense.” “ .. it has many components here in Earth.” This is a quite intriguing statement he makes as to his deeper knowledge and beliefs.

Edward Teller was an interesting fellow. thanks for this film clip, David Hoffman "Could we have avoided the tragedy of Hiroshima? Could we have started the atomic age with clean hands? No one knows. No one can find out." Edward Teller January 15, 1908 - September 9, 2003
Maybe Oppenheimer WAS too chatty to be trusted with secrets. But Teller's still mad because Oppenheimer complained about him playing the piano at 3 am in Los Alamos. Lol! Fun fact! (Teller was also angry because Oppeheimer had a bathtub, and he didn't!)
Good afternoon David, I saw the movie this year in theaters and they had the documentary on MSNBC the same day I went on a Friday.😊 The bomb 💣 this is interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing this. Have a super Sunday.🎞️🎥👍
Some of their colleagues said their working relationship was tense at times because Teller wanted to be in charge and was envious of Oppenheimer because he did not get that position; and that Oppenheimer was brilliant enought to allow Teller to develop hydrogen bomb on the side. I think after witnessing the level of human destruction and ability to destroy the human race Oppenheimer realized the genie could not be put back in the bottle and felt the emotional weight of that responsibility.
Brings us back to the days where people lived "in hard reality" instead of the soft-bellied leftism of today. Dropping the A Bomb was in general undesirable, but arguably had to be done in order for humans to witness its disruption upon humans-themselves. One of the best ways for a society like ours to come to grips with reality is for it to go through a calamity like war. Completely undesirable though, but it's sad that's what it actually takes for us to come to our senses and reality.
I'm very grateful for this video. Thank you. I don't really get the headline, though. Where in this interview did Teller say not to trust Oppenheimer with classified info? Here Teller seems to be distancing himself from the consequences of his testimony, not being critical of Oppenheimer. In fact, in this interview, he seems surprisingly sympathetic to Oppenheimer.
He did not say it in the video but he did refer to it when asked the question about his testimony against Oppenheimer having security clearance. David Hoffman filmmaker
Oppenheimer saw his creation's ultimate end & Teller never saw his reach its end. It's much easier for Teller to sleep at night & play games of "what if", deal in the theoretical, dance between the words, etc. While close in time, the ultimate playground was very different for these two (similar) men.
Teller was bitter man, and often conflicted with Oppie in public and in person because he pushed aside Teller's H-bomb ideas and design. Oppenheimer was a wise and practical man who understood the importance of time to implement the A-bomb to prevent further casualties of the war with Japan. So, this interview simply represents the ego of a scientist who did not want to comply, but searched for ways to get back to Oppenheimer.
I remember watching a video with Sam Cohen, the inventor of the Neutron Bomb, and his very matter-of-fact way in which he describes what the neutron bomb's affects on human bodies are and how he says it's not moral or even rational but it is effective was pretty chilling.
No one created the neutron bomb. Every nuclear weapon is a neutron bomb. You’re referring to a lo yield weapon that disperses neutrons instead of focusing them for a larger detonation. There are/were only 2 bombs that could’ve been classified as a neutron bomb in the US 🇺🇸 arsenal and one was a maybe. Try doing a lil reading on the subject.
@@RogerLewis-ey2tt I agree. I don't know the actual data, of any, to support this, but I tend to believe only a small percentage of people would be capable of designing a device that could end humanity. I believe it would take a very distinct type of personality (and traits) in the same way that serial killers have distinct commonalities in personality.
BUT, we cannot dismiss that other nations were also working hard to develop this type of warfare. I'm sure it takes a certain type of personality to develop something that could end the human race in a matter of minutes. I don't believe most people are capable of separating their moral conscience and science, or the job, if you will. I would imagine it's a very small percentage of the population that's capable of doing this -- just as a very small percentage of the population has the type of personality to become serial killers.

The reason why Oppenheimer didn’t want a hydrogen bomb getting developed was either a moral one or related to his ego about the fission bomb ownership that he had as a director of the Manhattan project.The hydrogen bomb was far superior in energy release due to fission fusion feedback loop Teller invented.

He totally betrayed Oppenheimer. Bright guy but unethical. Also, he definitely had some personality disorder as many at Los Alamos didn’t get along with Teller.
This guy was an unimaginably vicious warmonger. He saw what Oppenheimer was involved in creating and decided to make an even bigger weapon. Oppenheimer knew the whole thing was a big mistake from the start.

Benny Safdie, the actor for Teller in Oppenheimer, did a very good job matching Edward Teller's voice. That's some great acting that goes unnoticed.

"Politics is the worst, because whether or not you succeed, you are always sorry about it." 15:15

The quotes this man, Dr. Teller, gives us … an interview unlike nearly any you would get today.

I think the Soviets got the bomb from Fuchs who copied it and gave it to them. They wouldn’t have gotten it otherwise.
