The Atomic Bomb | The Damned Scientist | Episode 2
The Atomic Bomb - A podcast by Lane Votapka
Categories:
The nations of the world mobilize, and the Great War (World War 1) breaks out – and the science of mass, industrialized killing is perfected. The subject of chemistry is wielded by Fritz Haber to make poison gas. After the Great War, the bitterness of defeat sows the seeds for another world war, and young Adolf Hitler forms his ideology.The Atomic Bomb podcast describes the history leading to the discovery of the atomic bomb, as well as its role in World War 2. We also examine the science behind the understanding of the atomic nucleus, how it enables the release of atomic energy, as well as the design and function of nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. We follow the stories of some of the scientists involved – their discoveries, tragedies, and adventures. Lastly, we consider the geopolitical impact that nuclear weapons have made on the world.Credits and Licensing Information:Written, presented, and edited by Lane VotapkaAdditional edits by Gary VotapkaOriginal logo and banner by Inova Enterprise.If you enjoyed this podcast, please consider subscribing or making a donation at https://buymeacoffee.com/lvotapka or by engaging in discussions at my Thinkspot page: https://www.thinkspot.com/forum_type/lane-votapka/author/4WtDOo/author/4WtDOo.Music:"Americana", “Black Vortex”, “Crusade”, “Eastern Thought”, “Egmont Overture”, “Evening Melodrama”, “Fanfare for Space”, “Five Armies”, “Full On”, “Gaslamp Funworks”, “Gregorian Chant”, “Hero Down”, “Industrial Revolution”, “Oppressive Gloom”, “Return of Lazarus”, “Stormfront”, “Tempting Secrets”, “The Descent”, “The Pyre”, “The Sky of Our Ancestors”, “Thunderbird”, “Unlight” by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Sound Effects:“Atomic Explosion and Sub Rumble”GowlerMusic (https://freesound.org/s/265459/)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode“Radio Noise 2”ERH (https://freesound.org/s/30335/)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode“Super 8 mm projector”Eelke (https://freesound.org/s/256647/)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode“Bullroarer Flyby”Benboncan (https://freesound.org/s/91384/)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode“Windy farming land NL 160310_0872”klankbeeld (https://freesound.org/s/339699/)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode“Bf-109 Flyby”Fight2FlyPhoto (https://freesound.org/s/143558/)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode“ModelAHorn”daveincamas (https://freesound.org/s/43801/)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode“Geiger Counter”johnnythesalesman (https://freesound.org/s/423291/)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode“Applause 1”FunWithSound (https://freesound.org/s/381355/)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode“Gun-Pistol(one shot)”Shades (https://freesound.org/s/37236/)Licensed under Creative Commons: Sampling Plus 1.0 Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/sampling+/1.0/legalcode“Crowd Screaming, A”InspectorJ (https://freesound.org/s/421852/)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode“Alien Breath 2”FiveBrosStopMosYT (https://freesound.org/s/537023/)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode“hissing_gas”Taberius (https://freesound.org/s/327534/)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode“dot matrix printer”azumarill (https://freesound.org/s/485468/)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode“thunder”xerana (https://freesound.org/s/199638/)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode
