        Eh, I don’t even want to give credence to Carlson’s garbage by repeating it. But even if we imagine Otto Frisch was somehow there alone making drawings in the snow, we still know when it happened.

    Been a lot of “demon” talk from him lately. Tucker’s literally turning into Alex Jones before our very eyes.

        Marie Curie didn’t discover fission; that was Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Frisch and colleague Otto Hahn. But yeah, same problem. Meitner was left out of the publications and overlooked for a Nobel Prize.

        People aren’t atheist because they have no personal experience proving the existence of a god.

        Atheism isn’t a belief system.

        The lack of evidence for a god isnwhy atheists exists.

        Personal experience and evidence are two different things.

        Well you have the guy who found uranium, the guy who ran electrical checks through a vacuum, the guy who found pitchblende, and then Marie Curie who did the experiments with refined pitchblende to create X-ray machines.

        If you want to talk specifically about nuclear energy and weapons then you’re probably looking for Rutherford. But he wouldn’t even be conducting those experiments without Curie, Röntgen, and Becquerel.

      He’s talking to evangelicals who react when you use the word “demonic” about anything. They hold great political sway. Case in point, watch them get in line to vote for Trump today, despite him being the antithesis of evangelical behavior.

  • RunawayFixer@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’ve got the impression that Tucker Carlson is going after Alex Jones his audience. Tucker Carlson peddling crazy conspiracy theories right when the chickens are coming home to roost for Alex Jones, imo that’s no coincidence. Tucker never was stupid, he just has no morals, so he never had a problem with publicly stating stuff that he personally didn’t believe in. Grifters gonna grift.

      That’s my initial thought as well. The weird thing though is he’s already rich, he could bugger off into obscurity and live a life of luxury, but it seems like he just craves attention.

    Wasn’t there a big budget biopic on Oppenheimer that released last year?

    I can’t recall the name of it… But it was for sure centered on Oppenheimer while he helped develop nuclear fission weapons.

    If anyone can remember the name of that biopic that focused on Oppenheimer, please let me know, it’s killing me.

      The splitting of the atom was only referenced in a single line in that movie and it wasn’t Oppenheimer who did it. Oppenheimer developed the nuclear bomb specifically.

    Richard Rhodes’ The Making of the Atomic Bomb is a great book that kind of explains all that in detail…

    but i would say it is either the Curie’s experiments, discovering the neutron, splitting the atom, Fermi’s reactor, or the tests during the Manhattan project; all really well documented.
