History of Science and Technology Colloquium
in 131 Physics
Speaker: Mark Walker, Department of History, Union College
Subject: Why Do We Care about 'Hitler's Bomb,' and Should We?
Refreshments served in Room 216 Physics at 3:15 p.m.
There is a fascination surrounding "Hitler's Bomb" that transcends and defies both scientific and historical analysis. This talk will briefly survey both the German work on nuclear weapons and how its history has been written in order to try and explain why this topic remains important and controversial.
