First of all i was talking off the top of my head, secondly I had already established that the calculations were proven wrong.... that was the main point I was making, that scientists sometime get things wrong.
So unless you're trying to say that they don't, what point are you trying to make?
Oh no you don't, you dishonest fuck. Your point wasn't that scientists sometimes get things wrong. That goes without saying, and no one would argue with that. Scientists spend their whole careers trying to prove themselves wrong.

Must I go through all the cases where science has proven to be wrong?You were trying to discredit science by saying science backtracked from a consensus.
If the Bible backtracked as much as "science" does, I defiantly wouldn't believe in it.
Your whole point was that science thought the H-Bomb was going to destroy the world, and you posted that blurb to prove that point.
The rest of the blurb revealed with clarity that "science" did not in fact accept that hypothesis. One man made a claim and his colleagues tested it and proved it wrong. Moreover Teller's motivation for making that hypothesis was a very real part of his assertion.
One scientist being wrong happens every day, and pointing that out does absolutely nothing to serve your original point.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
