It's the easiest thing in the world to sit on your moral high horse passing judgement with the assurance of historical hindsight. Everyone likes to think they would have done something better or extraordinary had they been alive there back then. This is a naive morality. Had you had a wife, three beautiful children, a promising career in physics and thus a real opportunity to advance human progress, I'm certain 99. 99999% of people would not have been able to make the choice to throw all of this away to make some vague moral stand. You and your family, your children would be eliminated and MAYBE relegated to a minor footnote in history, for what? All I'm saying is people should really consider the man's position and ponder it thoroughly before passing judgement. If you have kids ask yourself. Would you sacrifice their lives to make a moral stand against a monolithic authoritarian regime? I love my son more than anything in this world so no, I probably wouldn't make that decision. I'd be a pragmatic coward to protect my son and hope to ride out the storm. Those weren't easy times for anybody.

It is possible Heisenberg did much and indeed enough to thwart the Nazi atomic bomb. He cloaked his treachery in robust lies about the success of the Nazi state. To do otherwise would cause suspicion and Germans are big on suspicion. Ive heard that Heydrich visited Heisenberg in his laboratory and asked how much money he needed to continue his work on developing the ultimate weapon. Heisenberg asked for a relatively paltry sum, never intending to really produce an atomic bomb. He may be one of the unsung heroes behind the defeat of the Nazis. A similar thing happen with the head of the German spy agency, the Abwehr, a man named Wilhelm Canaris, who worked to undermine the Nazi war effort and was executed by the Nazis for treason two weeks before his prison was liberated.

many scientist are always missleaded by the corporations they work They are deceive into believe what they are doing is the best foe their country and nations very few realize they are just being used or jas been used to fulfill darker agendas. And the few that outspoke against their sinister agendas wound up dead (suicides, accidentes, etc. I recommend the books.
1. Seed of Destruction By William Engdahl
2. Poisoning in Chief. by Stephen Kinzer
3. Rockefeller Medicine Man by Richard Brown
4. Bitten by Kris Newby.
5 Math Weapons of mass destruction
6. etc

Frankly, this screams of some degree of neurodivergence to me. he seems almost completely lacking of ethical and political intelligence, and of the capability to empatize. and god knows that's a common trait among otherwise exceptionally gifted people. On that premise, no wonder he would let himself stay on that boat and gullibly choose to believe that everything will be better, this can't really be happening time after time. The brain likes to lie to itself to avoid confronting unpleasant facts, you see it around everyday (especially around political dogmas)

First of all, thanks for a great video. It definitely filled in some gaps in my knowledge. Second, I don't think it would have mattered how committed WH was, or why he blabbed to Bohr. Compared to Los Alamos, the German effort was puny. Third, I wish you'd work out (if only for your own credibility) how to pronounce European placenames and peoples' names. It's not that hard. Finally, I hope in your follow-up video, you talk about the Farm Hall conversations. I would be interested in your take.

There were also correspondence between Bohr and Hiesnburg. Bohr escaped Europe in the landing gear compartment of a plane. When he got to America and wrote asking why Hiesnburg would not come, Hiesnburg responded saying the Nazi's were sure to win the war and that he was better served helping them. He was a Nazi in his heart. People don't want to believe it, but he absolutely was

Heisenberg was a smart man. He would have known that there was no possibility of the Nazis completing a bomb. By participating in the Nazi bomb project he gave the project credibility. The bomb project diverted significant (and scarce) resources and manpower from the Nazi war machine. This diversion of resources actually helped the Allies.

Kathy consistently equates working on military applications of nuclear physics to building an atomic bomb. But Heisenberg consistently held that Germany didn't have the resources to build a bomb (possibly because he miscalculated how much U235 was needed) and he mainly directed the Uranium Club to studying nuclear power.

C. S. Lewis coined the phrase chronological snobbery to describe the mentality of spitting on the people in the past. This tendency to disregard past generations as unenlightened idiots. Life can be understood looking backwards, but it must be lived forwards and the present is frought with perilous uncertainty.

After doing genealogical research matched with genetics it appears that both Hermann Goering and David Ben Gurion (Grun) were both carriers of the same y-Chromosome: R-M167 which were the Iberians in the Celtiberian community of the Ebro river. Common ancestor is Ulrich Gering, first to Print in France.

thanks for the good videos Kathy. I can tell you why Hiesenburg stayed in Germany. because he loved his country. Why dont I leave the USA today because a bunch of Nazi like guys have subverted an election and forced a dundering fool into position?
because I love my country good and bad.

In the end it's all just as well the Nazis stifled funding for theoretical physics and drove most of the scientists out of the country. Otherwise they might have won the race to develop the nuclear bomb and we in the US would be speaking German right now.

I'm sorry, should we convict you for war crimes because George bush? This is utter low intelligence bullshtt to focus on anything hitter was doing. Should we call any American theory, or product developed in the Iraq war racist?

Heisenberg was effectively a mole. He didn't need heavy water to make a bomb, to make plutonium you need graphite which is what the Americans used as a neutron moderator. He made sure the Nazis didn't get a bomb.

I am Chinese. I learned from articles on Chinese social media that Germany is still the country with the most racial discrimination against Chinese people in old European countries. Some things will never change

Dont know how I missed this video when first posted but glad YTs algorithm threw it my way today. Its interesting to me more for the political parallels of our time than the theoretical aspects of science.

It has to do with human nature, and Heisenberg's relationship with Bohr, Kathy Loves. I call it ''Our Drive for Mastery'; (New model of the agenda of behaviour) Mark Martens, Accidental Scientist.

Thank you for this revealing presentation. Heisenberg and Schrodinger don't come out looking very good after it. Being great at physics doesn't imply being smart about politics or ethics.
