The guy was Manne Siegbahn, Nobel Prize winner physics 1923. I explain it at... Very popular! Manne just gave me advice.
But he never uttered the words "atomic bombs don't work", did he?
Correct.
Glad to hear that. Now stop bringing him up as evidence that atomic bombs don't work.
?? The Swedish government asked Manne Siegbahn 1945 to build an A-Bomb. And Siegbahn agreed subject all info was made public. But no, it had to be secret.
Of course Siegbahn had no knowledge of or background in A-Bomb building. He was just a clever physics expert of structure of materials at atomic levels. He was a good friend of Niels Bohr, another physicist that could never explain fission, i.e. how atoms may suddenly split into other atoms. But various governments thought these simple physicists could build nuclear weapons of mass destruction and that it must be SECRET.
It was all a question of an atom fission chain reaction at explosive speed = the SECRET of nuclear WMDs. I assume Manne and Niels agreed it wasn't possible ... so it had to be kept SECRET. And Siegbahn recommended that I did something more interesting. Which I did. And then I met Japanese that told me about the false A-Bombs of Hiroshisma and Nagasaki 1945 that I noted and forgot. And then 1999 I met E whose father had assisted Stalin to build a fake A-Bomb 1947/58. It convinced me that atomic bombs don't work.
Why do you get so upset about it? That I met Ms E in a bar? It was the meeting place at this hotel at Mombasa, Kenya, I stayed at 1999. Ever been to Kenya?
