This seminar will compare and contrast the nuclear programs in the United States and in Nazi Germany during World War II. Why did the United States succeed in building the bomb? Why did Nazi Germany fail? What scientific, political, cultural or personal factors explain this different outcome? And what were the scientific and historical consequences of this different outcome? Co-taught by a physicist and a historian, the seminar will approach these questions from the combined perspectives of the sciences and the humanities.
