Hiroshima in my view was so get the Soviets to bow down to the US. It had nothing in my view to do with a military victory. It shows the start of the cold war.
@mooninquirer Thankyou. I found a copy and read it. Safe to say it makes for a horrible read - really horrible. I found this quote that confirms what I said a week go. ----- Admiral Leahy, from I Was There, "It is my opinion that the use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagaski was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender because of the effective sea blockade and the successful bombing with conventional weapons."
@thantawa the A-Bomb saved the United States from doing a ground invasion, which they were already planning, it saved the US millions of lives. it was a significant part of their military victory. how else would the japs surrendered?
@thantawa Of course one reason for the bomb was to prevent Russia from invading Japan, but I believe that the use of the bomb was primarily to protect our attacking forces, then to protect Japan. The choice was thought out by smart men, and I believe it was the best choice.
yeah sure, the world is full of terrorists! But if I remember correctly, the country which killed more than 100.000 innocent people with nuclear bombs was the U. S.
@Emiins Nope, Hiroshima was a military, industrial and economic hotspot. It was a high priorty target. The Death's of 60,000 people was in the long run worth it. Hitler was the terrorist he killed millions. Millions or 60,000?.....I think Millions makes Hitler a bigger terrorist.
@NANOFORGE Do you realize you just rationalized away 60,000 lives? Yeah, in the long run, who cares if we killed 60,000 lives, I mean we didn't care if millions of indigenous people in North America were decimated, what's 60,000 lives?
@jvl4289 If the bomb was'nt dropped then the war would of lastest alot longer and more would of died plus the US was barely holding it's own against the Japanese empire not to mention the russians and the british were having a hard time too. Dropping this bomb helped defeat a seemingly unstoppable foe.
@NANOFORGE Wow, you seriously need a history lesson. By the time the option to drop the bomb was available, the Japanese were already forced back into their own country and encircled.
The US was doing just great, the British and the Russians had nothing to worry about as Germany already surrendered. The Japanese Empire couldn't do anything offensive by that point.
Epic fail. That "plutonium bomb" was the design of Curveball, who admitted he made up the design to get US into Iraq. The Germans rejected it as an obvious fake, but Tenet didn't care as long as it got the troops rolling.
It's called to summarize something. Obviously, if you don't know how to do it, I doubt you even understand anything about this lecture. Gtfo wanna-be smartass.
This is something that the news media ought to watch, the spread of paranoia by a stupefying lack of knowledge/research doesn't help anyone. Instead of looking into things, people seem to operate on 30-40 year old paranoia because it's easier?

because of this video, i took a nuclear weapons course in college and was able to represent the united states at the student non-proliferation treaty review conference last april. THANK YOU MR. MULLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I attended his classes and you don't find a nuke in my backyard, it's a little more complex than listening to a lecture on YouTube. Why are you on the Internet, after reviewing your favorites you are one of these guys that hops around on YouTube watching a few videos and suddenly a you are an expert in physics. Does Croatia have a nuclear program.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Why is this on the internet? Kim Jong Il comes on you tube and makes a nuclear weapon and then everybody asks themselves how the hell did he do it. He went on youtube people!
You assume Kim Jong II can even understand these videos.
I wonder if even half his class-room understands his lessons. But that's a different debate. I certainly hope we have a future of very bright students so maybe future misunderstandings can be fixed.
Very well aware of that son - As there are books on the subject too, but since everyone in this place writes goofy comments, I decided to write one too--- However, I still have to understand why it received 3 minuses, who in their right mind wouldn't find the irony of that statement funny or at least somewhat amusing?
TruthLogic, why must you stupid conspiracy nuts keep pushing these ideas forward? its about as stupid as the idiots who think we didn't land on the moon or that obama was born in kenya

NO!
Sloppy is sloppy, period! To convince someone who is not an expert in a given area, how one presents oneself is even more important; so, if you want to convince someone of something, make an effort to present your argument well. If you don't want to convince anyone but yourself, that's a different story, but then, why are you arguing your point here? Believe me, you cannot win the argument, that it is okay to be ungrammatical; except perhaps if the one who is judging happens to be a moron.
One can learn a lot from this series. However, I feel there is a very real chance that there is a definite agenda being pushed here, that is government sponsored to push a pro-nuclear power agenda. After all, the american people have been fooled before. I remember being taught to hide under my desk in the event of a nuclear attack.
I can understand why you have a certain amount of suspicion to what Professor Muller is lecturing about in regard to nuclear material having watched two weeks of network news concerning the death of M. Jackson. It seems to me that the network news is more concerned with sensationalism, not science. In the poetic words of Don Henley, in his song, "Dirty Laundry", from which I quote, ...It's interesting when people die....Get the widow on the set!
Hopefully, you can follow my line of thought. The media doesn't want science but showbiz, that is, drama. You are right that we can learn a lot from Dr. Muller. But, please don't get under your desk again.
BTW, if I have to watch one more thing on TV about Michael Jackson I think I'm going to be ill! Are we really that stupid in America that this can pass as news?
I hope that I am absolutely wrong. It's a wonderful thing to provide this kind of education for free. Nevertheless, I would hope that any future politician would be skeptical of any presentation - no matter how well it's made. I mean, unless one is in the position to experimentally verify what one is told, one is forced to believe experts, and some experts have their own agendas.
It's not whether something can be experimentally verified. Scientists are generally very very careful about that. it is whether someone without scientific training can understand any experimental result. Or what if nature doesn't like to serve their agenda? What Prof. Muller is lecturing here makes common sense to a reasonably good college physics major. To everyone else? I don't know.
I would feel much more confident about what you say if you could actually write grammatically correctly. Is it the case that a good college physics major can get by without a firm grasp of the english language? I don't mean to be rude, but one does need to consider how something is said, as well as what is being said. This is a standard part of critical analysis: considering one's source. A future president should know this.
The ability to write well is, however, necessary to make a convincing argument. Are you as likely to believe someone who has mastered all the liberal arts as someone who has not? Any future president should be sufficiently mindful of the traits of his advisors to spot an illiterate among the educated. Now I do accept that there are idiot savants who have certain skills, but I am more likely to listen seriously to a polymath.
As someone who never thrived as an english student but is incredibly passionate about and interested in the world around us and the further understanding of this world i would totally agree! not being interested in shakespeare or not re reading your youtube comments to make sure they are "grammatically correct" doesn't subtract anything from your ability as a mathematician or indeed a physicist.
Mr Muller's point was that the "Little Boy" uranium gun bomb had not been tested.
He explains (at 21 through 35 minutes)that the reason for this was that there was not enough material to make two of this type of bomb.
The implication is that it is easier to make Plutonium. So you can make enough of them (more than one) to allow a test. And you want to because it is more difficult to make it (fat boy) work correctly.
A gun (uranium) design is dumb and simple. So it will work.
SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO U AT 9:10 SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU OR TALK TO YOU ONLINE AND SAY I LOVE YOU OR ASK YOU OUT BUT HERES THE CATCH Send To 3 vids
I wish i knew as much as this guy , hopefully some day i will. im 15 about to start further education in physics next year. so anyway thanks for uploading these course videos also the ones on psychology. those two are my fav subjects
Very informative, given the overview nature of these lectures. I worked at LNL, had the privilege of working on a couple of Alvarez/ projects, and thoroughly enjoyed the asides.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Yeah Pretty good lecture. Maybe he could have been a little more accurate with a few subject, The Reactor section was a little cowboy and Hypocritical, If you are going to lecture on reactor design then at least know a few fact's, A reactor Breach and meltdown would be catastrophic. The US built reactor's are not a 100% safe - Crack's in the Primary water loop anybody?
What you suggest is that he is pto-n and that's why says what he says. I think he says what he knows, and what he knows makes him pro-n. And he is a famous scientist, so i believe him not you, sorry.
What is more probable is that you are anti-nuclear energy.
good to be skeptical but have a winge about Dams, coal ect there are much worse than Nuclear power ie in NZ many people live in the Direct path of a Dam which has a much larger chance of failure than a modern Water (or Heavy water) nuclear reactor
i don't think we are so much afraid of terrorists making nuclear weapons. i think we are scared of them stealing them. however, even then, they would have to steal a delivery system. eh, i'm sure some guy who's not paying attention to his monitor would be happy to let them slip by ;)
Having gotten a BSc. in physics a few months ago, all I can say is I wish my instructors were as good as Muller. I would have retained so much more. It seems a lot of schools hire profs based simply on research credentials and past accomplishments. It would be nice if public speaking skills actually factored into it.
You are the best phycsics instructor i never had, I have all of your lectures on your podcasts i haved learned a lot form you and now my friends think i am supper smart :)
A network with a million people around the world, and a league of nations can make an h-bomb.That's how France and the UK made their HBOMB. URENCO was an open investment company for such endeavours. Besides the A.Q. Khan network have been making u235 all around the world in secret.

E=mc2, E = energy, M = Mass or the dencity of the atom, C = Contant speed of light which is 670,616,629mph, 2 = 670,616,629mph x670,616,629mph, which equals 449726663091323641 mph

E=mc2, test this speech to what Einstein formulated. Energy = the mass of the Atom multiplied by the speed of light. 670,616,629mph, Multiplied x 670,616,629 mph = 4.49726663 × 10/17 mph. The Atoms must hit at the speed of light to acquire critical mass. Nothing can move faster the the speed of light. So if the particles hit at the same time at the, c= constant speed of light 670,616,629 mph, you get E=mc2. And remember there also is some deception to these sciences. Test this info your self
In a Derrick Jensen book (A Language Older Than Words), at one point he talks about some flyby space probe mission that had some Plutonium-238 on board (which he says is "200 times deadlier than Plutonium-239"), and he made it sound like it was just some random crazy thing that scientists do which, if it crashes, could kill us all, or something like that. I'm glad I now have more support for my belief that the guy is a nut-job, haha.
This is my favourite lecture. I've lost count of how many times I have seen it, and I'm still learning things from it. Thank you so much for uploading these!
When he says "homework is due tonight" I get a sinking feeling and I'm not even in the class. :(

I attended his classes and you don't find a nuke in my backyard, it's a little more complex than listening to a lecture on YouTube. Why are you on the Internet, after reviewing your favorites you are one of these guys that hops around on YouTube watching a few videos and suddenly a you are an expert in physics. Does Croatia have a nuclear program.

Why is this on the internet? Kim Jong Il comes on you tube and makes a nuclear weapon and then everybody asks themselves how the hell did he do it. He went on youtube people!
Cokoholicar 2 years ago
You assume Kim Jong II can even understand these videos.
I wonder if even half his class-room understands his lessons. But that's a different debate. I certainly hope we have a future of very bright students so maybe future misunderstandings can be fixed.

This information has been circulating publicly since at least the 1960s. The cat has been out of the bag for a very long time.
The only non-imaginary deterrence to atomic bomb-building is the ignorance of politicians and religious leaders.

Very well aware of that son - As there are books on the subject too, but since everyone in this place writes goofy comments, I decided to write one too--- However, I still have to understand why it received 3 minuses, who in their right mind wouldn't find the irony of that statement funny or at least somewhat amusing?

Sloppy is sloppy, period! To convince someone who is not an expert in a given area, how one presents oneself is even more important; so, if you want to convince someone of something, make an effort to present your argument well. If you don't want to convince anyone but yourself, that's a different story, but then, why are you arguing your point here? Believe me, you cannot win the argument, that it is okay to be ungrammatical; except perhaps if the one who is judging happens to be a moron.

One can learn a lot from this series. However, I feel there is a very real chance that there is a definite agenda being pushed here, that is government sponsored to push a pro-nuclear power agenda. After all, the american people have been fooled before. I remember being taught to hide under my desk in the event of a nuclear attack.
bmikesci 2 years ago
I can understand why you have a certain amount of suspicion to what Professor Muller is lecturing about in regard to nuclear material having watched two weeks of network news concerning the death of M. Jackson. It seems to me that the network news is more concerned with sensationalism, not science. In the poetic words of Don Henley, in his song, "Dirty Laundry", from which I quote, ...It's interesting when people die....Get the widow on the set!
rkaupert 2 years ago
Hopefully, you can follow my line of thought. The media doesn't want science but showbiz, that is, drama. You are right that we can learn a lot from Dr. Muller. But, please don't get under your desk again.

BTW, if I have to watch one more thing on TV about Michael Jackson I think I'm going to be ill! Are we really that stupid in America that this can pass as news?

I hope that I am absolutely wrong. It's a wonderful thing to provide this kind of education for free. Nevertheless, I would hope that any future politician would be skeptical of any presentation - no matter how well it's made. I mean, unless one is in the position to experimentally verify what one is told, one is forced to believe experts, and some experts have their own agendas.
bmikesci 2 years ago
It's not whether something can be experimentally verified. Scientists are generally very very careful about that. it is whether someone without scientific training can understand any experimental result. Or what if nature doesn't like to serve their agenda? What Prof. Muller is lecturing here makes common sense to a reasonably good college physics major. To everyone else? I don't know.
mathfeel 2 years ago
I would feel much more confident about what you say if you could actually write grammatically correctly. Is it the case that a good college physics major can get by without a firm grasp of the english language? I don't mean to be rude, but one does need to consider how something is said, as well as what is being said. This is a standard part of critical analysis: considering one's source. A future president should know this.
bmikesci 2 years ago
The abillty to write in grammatically correct english isn't required to be good at physics.
mickeyboy1a 2 years ago 4
The ability to write well is, however, necessary to make a convincing argument. Are you as likely to believe someone who has mastered all the liberal arts as someone who has not? Any future president should be sufficiently mindful of the traits of his advisors to spot an illiterate among the educated. Now I do accept that there are idiot savants who have certain skills, but I am more likely to listen seriously to a polymath.
bmikesci 2 years ago
As someone who never thrived as an english student but is incredibly passionate about and interested in the world around us and the further understanding of this world i would totally agree! not being interested in shakespeare or not re reading your youtube comments to make sure they are "grammatically correct" doesn't subtract anything from your ability as a mathematician or indeed a physicist.

"Nuclear power" has nothing in common with "nuclear weapons".
Nuclear power isn't just a way forward, it's the only legitimate way forward.
Nuclear weapons, well, that's another debate.

stopindecentvidremov 2 years ago
Mr Muller's point was that the "Little Boy" uranium gun bomb had not been tested.
He explains (at 21 through 35 minutes)that the reason for this was that there was not enough material to make two of this type of bomb.
The implication is that it is easier to make Plutonium. So you can make enough of them (more than one) to allow a test. And you want to because it is more difficult to make it (fat boy) work correctly.
A gun (uranium) design is dumb and simple. So it will work.

Yeah Pretty good lecture. Maybe he could have been a little more accurate with a few subject, The Reactor section was a little cowboy and Hypocritical, If you are going to lecture on reactor design then at least know a few fact's, A reactor Breach and meltdown would be catastrophic. The US built reactor's are not a 100% safe - Crack's in the Primary water loop anybody?
You can tell he's pro Nuclear Energy.

What you suggest is that he is pto-n and that's why says what he says. I think he says what he knows, and what he knows makes him pro-n. And he is a famous scientist, so i believe him not you, sorry.
What is more probable is that you are anti-nuclear energy.

good to be skeptical but have a winge about Dams, coal ect there are much worse than Nuclear power ie in NZ many people live in the Direct path of a Dam which has a much larger chance of failure than a modern Water (or Heavy water) nuclear reactor

i don't think we are so much afraid of terrorists making nuclear weapons. i think we are scared of them stealing them. however, even then, they would have to steal a delivery system. eh, i'm sure some guy who's not paying attention to his monitor would be happy to let them slip by ;)

Having gotten a BSc. in physics a few months ago, all I can say is I wish my instructors were as good as Muller. I would have retained so much more. It seems a lot of schools hire profs based simply on research credentials and past accomplishments. It would be nice if public speaking skills actually factored into it.

A network with a million people around the world, and a league of nations can make an h-bomb.That's how France and the UK made their HBOMB. URENCO was an open investment company for such endeavours. Besides the A.Q. Khan network have been making u235 all around the world in secret.

E=mc2, test this speech to what Einstein formulated. Energy = the mass of the Atom multiplied by the speed of light. 670,616,629mph, Multiplied x 670,616,629 mph = 4.49726663 × 10/17 mph. The Atoms must hit at the speed of light to acquire critical mass. Nothing can move faster the the speed of light. So if the particles hit at the same time at the, c= constant speed of light 670,616,629 mph, you get E=mc2. And remember there also is some deception to these sciences. Test this info your self

In a Derrick Jensen book (A Language Older Than Words), at one point he talks about some flyby space probe mission that had some Plutonium-238 on board (which he says is "200 times deadlier than Plutonium-239"), and he made it sound like it was just some random crazy thing that scientists do which, if it crashes, could kill us all, or something like that. I'm glad I now have more support for my belief that the guy is a nut-job, haha.
