I had the pleasure of knowing men of that generation and of that caliber in my boyhood. None that highly placed, but certainly of that character. Thank you for reminding us of that goodness.
I knew much of the Los Alamos story and history before viewing this presentation. But seeing and hearing a very great (but unfortunately little known) American sel-effacingly reprise his history there and his great contribution to national security, is touching and humbling. To recall Churchill: Never have so many owed so much to so few.
Great video and great history. Bradbury and a lot of other great scientists seemed to be very down to warth plain spoken and a lot of common sense that could make difficult subjects comprehensible to the average person. On the H-Bomb i like how he gives Teller full credit without mentioning the breakthrough idea of Ulam which made it feasible. But a picture of Ulam is shown without explanation. Draw your own conclusions. One final thought he was also a visionary who wanted the eventual elimination of nuclear weapons but also that Los Alamos most important mission would be towards the environment.
My dad went to UC Berkeley and first job was at Lawrence Lab . He spent a lot of time at Los Alamos. I wonder if Dr. Bradbury knew DrTeller. My dad worked under Dr. Teller.
Most people in California are going to work, going to school, raising their families, contributing to society - like anywhere else in America. Have you ever even been to California, or anywhere but the stagnant backwater marshland you’re from? I’d sooner live somewhere that isn’t a testament to alcoholism, illiteracy, and multi-generational inbreeding
@@mmal7982It’s the fifth largest economy on the planet. Let’s talk about all the wonderful benefits of living in your state, champ: the racism, the homophobia, religious bigotry, teen pregnancy, dropout rate, suicide rate, bankruptcies, domestic violence, unemployment, substance abuse, gambling addiction, hurricanes/flooding/wildfires, foreclosures, birth defects etc etc
A little dry, but a nice little story from Dr Norris Bradbury

What a dream state 1945-1980. Now its a marxist province.
