A movie on Oppenheimer

Everyone is saying how the new Oppenheimer will be the film of the year and how it could save Hollywood. Some other directors describe it as a kind of horror movie.

I think we should make a movie about Edward Teller instead of Oppenheimer, one that is historically accurate and not a Oppenheimer horror story.

All I know is that Nanos would not have put up with some clown cowboy like Oppenheimer and would shut the 1945 lab down as fast as he could. What was done at Los Alamos that could not be done elsewhere?

As you can see Los Alamos has always been a problem filled with problems and cowboys. Lewis Strauss/Tony Stark is great American hero who like Nanos "got it".

Nanos was on record as saying, “A man like Richard Feynman could not work at (today’s) Los Alamos”. Ironically, it is one of the few true statements Nanos ever made as Director.

This is a hot take that throws some support for Nanos and friends


If Oppenheimer and his associates didn't leak the nuclear bomb secrets to the Soviets, America would have been the only country with a nuclear bomb

America could have potentially pushed the soviets out of eastern europe because it had a nuclear weapon and saved the millions of slavic (and other) people 80 years of crushing communism that they are still catching up from.

After the war, Robert Oppenheimer remarked that the physicists involved in the Manhattan project had "known sin". Von Neumann's response was that "sometimes someone confesses a sin in order to take credit for it." lol

Classic line from Von Neumann: "If you say why not bomb [the Soviets] tomorrow, I say, why not today? If you say today at five o'clock, I say why not one o'clock?"

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
