The Scientist Behind the Atomic Bomb



When the US government launched the Manhattan Project during World War II, they went all out to recruit the best scientists available. That's how they found J. Robert Oppenheimer and why there's a movie about him now. But the untold story involves a scientist you may know who was right there in New Mexico already. Alternative Cuts in not afraid to tell the story of how Walter White lent his expertise to the making of the atomic bomb, quite enthusiastically, as it turns out. White was omitted from the history books because he's shy and really didn't want the publicity. (via Laughing Squid)
