The Jesus Freaks Will Hate This

That was the calculations of Edward Teller the guy that designed the hydrogen bomb.

His constant attempts to get support for the "Super," as he called it, were seen by many, including Oppenheimer, as a distraction. He became even more of a distraction when he produced equations that showed the possibility that a fission weapon could ignite the world's atmosphere.

Man. You are the most dishonest person on the internet. You continually think we approach life like you do---just find the blurb that works for you, ignore everything else, and post it like we won't check it for your inevitable quote mine.

Let's look at the rest of the quote from your article:

More important, all but Teller had agreed that the project would narrow its scope toward the construction of a fission bomb. Teller decided that they should go well beyond that toward a thermonuclear device, a fusion bomb.

His constant attempts to get support for the "Super," as he called it, were seen by many, including Oppenheimer, as a distraction. He became even more of a distraction when he produced equations that showed the possibility that a fission weapon could ignite the world's atmosphere. It was later discovered his calculations were wrong -- and a dozen other men made similar mistakes later -- but work stopped until the flaw was found.

(bold mine, showing what you quote mined and what the context was)

Notice how everyone else wanted to go for a fission weapon (Atomic Bomb) and Teller wanted to go for a fusion weapon (H-Bomb) He was the only one. So he produced equations that showed that the weapon that everyone else was pursuing would destroy the world.

So this man made a claim that people tested and proved wrong (you know, science), and you want to make it out like all of "science" thought the fission weapon would destroy the earth.

You dishonest troll.

*Edited to get fission/fusion correct, I put them in here backwards! (Thanks Parkers Tan!)
