Science is arguably one of the most pivotal disciplines we as
humankind have at our disposal. I am grateful to have had good
grounding and practice in it, as I labored at my PhD in clinical
psychology at Northwestern University. It has a prominent place in my
Theory of Algorithms and in The Tripartite Model in particular. So, for this week's articles, I share my posts on
Google+ about a household-name scientist and his
not-so-household-name colleague and how their fateful collaboration
staked a horrific pivot in human history. I had posted these as a
linear narrative, but here I thought I'd do so more (I hope) as a serial
drama, that is, in five parts.
Ironically Einstein was excluded from the Manhattan Project, while Szilárd was involved but tightly monitored.
The US dropped A-Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, in retaliation for the Pearl Harbor attack.
