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.
What do you think he’d say about the world now?
@@holitinne yeah people don't know if they're a man, woman, or something else.
Who is here after Oppenheimer
Well, years before it even started filming! That said, it was an amazing movie, and Christopher Nolan should make a spinoff biopic of Teller with Benny Safdie reprising the title role!
It's amazing how the criticisms towards the ignorance of American society back then are the same ones of today. Remarkable

Wonderful interview. Thanks for Mr Teller and his honest words.
That’s Dr. Teller to you
@@AirCoded1523 🤓🤓🤓
Mr. Teller was, of course, not honest - except he occasionally spoke very openly about the actual truth behind they lies they popagated.
The interviewer is brilliant by the way, just enough interruptions to encourage Teller to drive the conversation, lets be honest we ain't interested in the interviewer and this guy knows it.
Excellent. Thank you!
Pure gold. Thanks for this.
A wonderful interview providing a glimpse into our past and into our future. So interesting !
Holy moly. What a brilliant man.
2:11 It's hard not to laugh when the interviewer says "...There's been an enormous explosion..." in his opening question to the father of the H-Bomb!
And Teller starting his response. There has been an enormous... increase in technology. NOT in science. And the interviewer: Not in PURE science.
That part of the dialogue IS hilarious.
@@u.v.s.5583 tsar bomba rds 220 Soviet 😆😆
Thankfully y'all
I think he is a great hero for his life's work, his patriotism, his diligence, his brilliance - personally he is more inclined to correct and contradict than to be sweetly agreeable. I think this natural tendency must have made it often much harder to persuade others than if his personality had been a smoother one, more easy-going.
If he were smooter he wouln't had been such a good scientist. Science is not about acting good around people, is about finding out the truth and telling them what it is. If they can't handle it they are undeserving of it.
That last statement is also my credo. I never thought I would agree so wholeheartedly with Dr. Teller. Most people who have never experienced the red terror will never never ever ever understand Teller.
Very interesting! Many thanks for uploading!
He went to Teller's desk and just reached atround to the back of the draw where he took put papers and then put them back exactly how he found them and returned to the meeting where he had been discussing the lack of security.He followed Teller back to his office where he ws discussing security with Teller.Teller opened his draw and he turned to Richard and said it's alot easier to find things when someone leaves things alone or somthing like that.Paraphrasing Feynman "
his words resolve doubts.
I loved how he told those two real stories at the end to explain his view...and darn was he right about that.I mean if we think about nuclear energy...on the other hand very dangerous power, but could be one factor we are going to need more and more if we are going to slow down global warming and until we can find some better source of energy (like nuclear fusion, which wouldnt cause nuclear waste like nuclear fission does)
And on other hand nuclear weapons very well could have prevented WW III
money does not buy science... money buys technology
It's hard to play pranks on people as intelligent as Teller.
Is that you Dick?
Are you alive?
What a very prickly individual.
Technology is often misused. I wonder if his death was comfortable for him emotionally. What were the consequences for him personally? 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. My father believed tidal energy should be harnessed
Yeah...were big on tidal energy here in New Mexico...
Also, just as Teller let Oppenheimer down in the trial, Oppenheimer seriously let down his students and even his best friend when he gave the names to the FBI! They all had their careers smashed because of Oppenheimer. But they never went public with that because Oppenheimer was a truly great man. Thinking about it, his paper on the gravitational collapse in stars signaled the birth of black hole physics. He should have gotten the Nobel for that work but I suppose was too entrenched in politics
That paper is literally full of errors...
Büszkének érzem magam, hogy Magyar vagyok, ugyanakkor sajnálom, hogy az olyan nagy emberek mint Teller Ede csak külföldön tudtak érvényesülni. Ahogy Ő is mondta, elhagyták a süllyedő hajót. :(

Link is not about Manhattan Proj specifically, just a very broad and (IMO) important delineation of two types of scientific mind. If you search Teller's name you'll find the para I'm thinking of, and that will indicate whether the rest is worth reading for you.
Isaac Asimov said something similar in an article titled "Catching Up With Newton" in re public awareness of the facts of reality.
At Alamogordo, he donned welding gloves and a welding helmet for the Trinity shot.

The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.
carried a wizard staff.
I didn't know he was a teacher!
After i see an interview with Robert Oppenheimer I must agree with Isidor Rabi who said: "It would have been a better world without Teller"
if he didn't made the bomb someone else would, the point is not about having no bomb. Is about the morality of mankind.
The date of the interviews should be listed...
they are listed. just check the description and they have the tape date :]
And it is still a shipwreck unfortunetly.

Edward Teller..my Hero!!!!
He seems to be reflecting some thoughts of Eric Weinstein today about applying the science instead of arm chairing everything else with General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics
we need science.
Dr. Strangelove ???
🖕👏👏👏
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. At one point in the film, Strangelove mentions commissioning a study from the “BLAND Corporation,” which was a humorous reference to RAND.
@@cinedelasestrellas Agree Kahn and Braun, not others. Kissinger hunted Nazi's with a gun during the Battle of the Bulge and received a Bronze Star for his effort, and Teller fled the Nazis and became an American patriot. Strangelove was SS and a rocket scientist. You may hate Teller and Kissinger, but drawing a Swastika on them is wrong.
@@nuqwestr I never meant to imply that I hate anyone or that Teller and Kissinger were Nazis, just that they had some mannerisms regarding the discussion of nuclear weapons that Peter Sellers used for inspiration in that role. I read that about the role (i.e.mention of those four names) somewhere years ago, though I can't remember where.
@@cinedelasestrellas I recently saw a documentary on the making of the movie, and also other interviews with people who make it clear that it was not Kissinger or Teller, but Kahn and von Braun. Herman Kahn is famous for coming up with "an acceptable number" for losses in the case of all out nuclear war. Kahn's words are actually quoted in the movie: www.wired.com/2018/03/geeks-guide-doctor-strangelove/
Edward teller or Teller Ede? Be the later I might b related!
A pure Genius...but the power of nuclear bombs in his mind was madness...
He testified against Oppenheimer
snd maliciously ruined Oppenheimer's
career and reputation.
He was a loathsome individual.
He just hated communists.
He knew he is doing a weapon of mass destruction, trying to deny responsibility with other stories is pitiful.
There was a possibility that Hitlers' Germany did it first, so you need to see it in a historical context
thanks kindly

I wish my father was a scientist.
A hero
Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I was not trying to invalidate your point, just adding my observation. He DOES come across as a prick imo, yet perspective is everything. I would argue that he must have a bit of a tortured soul in the twilight years of his life. Thanks for the link btw. Will definitely check it out. I'm fascinated with the psychology of the scientists involved in the Manhattan Project and admittedly physics is a subject I know little about.
HERO!
Well how could he not be? The man thinks on a level so far beyond most of us that it must be frustrating trying to communicate with people. I don't think Mr. Teller is a prick, just a misfit so to speak.
He was educated by... Heisenberg ?... doing blue moon !
" man baut keine Massenvernichtungswaffen um damit zu Protzen, man baut sie um Massen zu vernichten " EdwardTeller
When Oppenheimer said that Teller was almost a great man, he was not kidding. I have not heard any scientist who comes across so splendidly Spellbinding! No wonder the US govt took him with all seriousness of purpose.
One thing he got so very wrong IMO...that the scientist has no ethical responsibility to consider the possible uses of their discoveries. We keep committing that pathetic error...primates with marvelously developed intellects but not the emotional intelligence to keep pace. It is emotional intelligence in partnership with intellect that gives us adult consciences.
Well said. As it stands we are like monkeys holding an hand grenade
@@imaseeker100 The tragic life of J. Robert Oppenheimer post-WWII is the example to look at here. He realized the disastrous consequences of his having headed up the Manhattan Project even as he watched the first test (his famous Baghavad Gita quote)...but when he tried to warn the rest of the world he was viciously persecuted as "anti-American" and his career, health and life came to an end.
@@rebekahlevy4562 To be honest Oppenheimer never took part on an anti nuke protest, never visited the Pugwash conferences, and wasnt involved in the anti-nuke movement at all. He had a religious follower base like Rabi, who later claimed things which never happened.
@@gaborrajnai6213 Did I say anything at all above regarding Oppenheimer?!? Nope!
Meanwhile the Communist scientists in China are working in the thousands to make sure they are able to defeat the United States in the near future. It'll take another world war to change attitudes again as it did during WWII.

The H-Bomb - the greatest contribution to world peace in history of the human species. Hard to argue that.
It's only governments who start wars, not people.
The cold war was fake.
Easy to argue and win, since there has not been a world war since the creation of the bomb. Mutually assured destruction works.

A válasz az, hogy egyik sem lett informálva.
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.
I believe Frits Haber also worked actively and purposefully on developing mustard gas.
The hydrogen bomb could be used for electricity, look up the pacer reactor. Fusion power.
This guy literally invented "sunshine in a can". Think about that.
He sounds like Dr Strangelove
No, Strangelove was a composite of Herman Kahn and Werner von Braun. Teller has a Hungarian accent, not German, and he was a Nazi hater, so don't hang a Swastika on him, please.
Long live democratic socialism and freedom
18:58 - Amen. This is what set him apart from the communists and fellow travelers of the Manhattan Project and why he rightfully called bullshit on Oppenheimer's security clearance.
@ClamCrunchy Yes, but they can't undo the damage they've done. How they live with that, I don't know. Especially when they are given so many chances to change their ways.
Notice how Edward Teller never said he thought we went to the moon.
Why state the obvious? Of course he knew we went to the moon.
por supuesto@@sananselmospacescienceodys7308
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.
Yes…You are wrong! You have no idea what you are talking about!
Edward Teller 18:02 free speech. 22:51 nylon
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".
He talks about nylon being used in parachutes. His version is creating hydrogen bombs which makes the aliens give us free technology. Civilian utilization of a military invention.
Without this brilliant man we’d all be speaking German or wearing lampshades
There were a great number of people who can and should be given credit for defeating Germany in world war II, to my knowledge, Edward Teller did nothing to deserve the slightest bit of credit for the allied victory. What exactly do you think Teller did?
The United states didn't needed atom bombs to defeat Germany.
1) He had a smaller role in the Manhattan project compared to many others. 2) Germany surrendered BEFORE the nuclear bomb was ready and Japan was almost defeated as well. 3) His main contributions were after the war with the development of hydrogen bombs (thermonuclear bombs). Nazi germany was LOONG gone by then.
It is quite hard to understand your comment.
that's races
keep getting distracted by birdnest eyebrows. But this guy was a bit off, comparing nylon to the H bomb? He knew damn well what was the science going to be used for. No wonder he's the inspiration for Dr. Strangelove.
complet asshole
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.
What experiments on special ed children? I've never heard of any experiments on children. By all of the information I've read, more than anyone else, Oppenheimer felt morally responsible for his part in the development of nuclear weapons, he felt that he had blood on his hands.
@@MarkSudduth1 The information is publicly available on MULTIPLE respected publications. I'm not going to spoonfeed you~~~it's easily found in both libraries and the internet.
@@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.
@@MarkSudduth1 I am on TH-cam for comments like these. Thank you!
A hero of mankind.
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!
Oppenheimer? What fundamentals did he contribute to? Black holes werent a new thing, they were theorized by Schwartshild back in 1916 in a WWI trench.
