About this listen
An acceleration of discovery and delivery, exploring the militarisation of scientific life and the move of Oppenheimer’s scientific life from one of borderless theoretical discovery to being the tool of a nation state delivering the practical outcomes he was ordered to. In this second episode, nuclear physicist Dr Laetitia Canete and historian Asst Professor Elizabeth Ingleson take us through how the world leading work of Einstein became out of date moments after discovery and how fission was discovered by Otto Hahn, Fritz Strassmann and Lise Meitner. What were the contributions of individuals like Heisenberg and Pauli, and what were the social and scientific consequences. As ever, the episode is bridged with the inane observations of Extradition Order's Rosie Beard and Alastair Harper.
Whoop.
