History of Hydrogen Bomb

Edward Teller Ede Teller was born in Budapest, Austria-Hungary, January 15, 1908, is the inventor of the hydrogen bomb. In 1939, Teller was one of three scientists who encouraged Albert Einstein to alert President Franklin D. Roosevelt that the power of nuclear fission-fragment an atomic nucleus-can be used to form a new weapon that destroys. In 1941, before the first atomic bomb was born, scientist colleague, Enrico Fermi, argues that nuclear fusion could be more awesome.

Subsequent work, he developed a hydrogen bomb which was then attached to his identity. Its main role in the development of thermonuclear weapons (hydrogen bombs) is very famous. However, he also made a remarkable contribution to the development of ballistic missiles launched from submarines (basic nuclear deterrence) and missile defense

The idea was developed Teller. He went on to make a bomb like that, so managed to get the title of "father of the hydrogen bomb". However, reportedly, he hates the term. Powered megaton hydrogen bomb (million tonnes) was blown up first in 1952, although no one ever used in war. As a comparison, the bomb dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki just weighing dozen kilotons.

Teller is a powerful adviser for applied science, in addition to one of the most influential leaders in the engineering of national defense since World War II until today. His advice was also very influential in the strategic defense initiative missile system, dubbed as the "Star Wars".

Teller received many awards in her long career, including the Albert Einstein Award, the Enrico Fermi Award, and the National Medal of Science. Earlier this year, was born in Budapest, Hungary, was awarded the Presidential Freedom Medal, the highest award in the U.S..

Dr Edward Teller role is very strategic in U.S. weapons strategy, starting the atomic bomb during World War II to the concept during President Reagan's Star Wars. With Einstein, he was "aware" of President Roosevelt against nuclear power. In the last years of his life he was widely known for its controversial recommendation technology solutions in civil and military issues, including the planned excavation artificial harbor in Alaska using thermonuclear explosives. Experts "doomsday bomb" was surrendered due to stroke which attacked a few days ago. Teller died on 9 September 2003 at the age of 95 years at his home on the campus of Stanford University, California.
