2 days ago · Oppenheimer's former colleague, Edward Teller, testified against Oppenheimer at his security hearing in 1954. [256] One of the key elements in this hearing was Oppenheimer's earliest testimony about George Eltenton's approach to various Los Alamos scientists, a story that Oppenheimer confessed he had fabricated to protect his friend ...
1 day ago · Italian-American physicist Enrico Fermi's name is associated with the paradox because of a casual conversation in the summer of 1950 with fellow physicists Edward Teller, Herbert York, and Emil Konopinski.
5 days ago · Physicist Edward Teller suggested that because the material was compressed, less of it would be needed. By late 1943 the implosion method was being given a higher priority, and by July 1944 it had become clear that an efficient gun-assembly device could not be built with plutonium.

5 days ago · The Fermi paradox emerged from a conversation between physicists Enrico Fermi, Edward Teller, Emil Konopinski, and Herbert York at Los Alamos in the summer of 1950 about flying saucers and the likelihood of faster-than-light interstellar travel.
4 days ago · There he studied for his Ph.D. with Edward Teller and after receiving it in 1948, remained for a year as an assistant to Enrico Fermi, a famous physicist. In 1949 he moved to the Harvard-affiliated Radcliffe's Institute for Advanced Study and in 1965 to New York's Stony Brook University, where he worked until 1999.
