I am surprised that Christopher Nolan missed out not only Oliphant, but also Rutherford, Cavendish (Cambridge) the MAUD committee etc.

Being a Brit himself I can’t believe he forgot about them, but Hollywood being Hollywood was probably told to gloss over the facts so the Good ‘Ol US of A appears to be a knight in shining armour. You know like other Hollywood films where they captured and cracked the Enigma machine or single handedly saved Europe from the Nazis. 

You need to remember according to history, sorry, hollywood, USA invented Colossus, RADAR, The bomb etc etc

What's interesting is that because he'd rescued German physists Frisch and Peierls from the Nazis he couldn't have them help on the development of RADAR, so instead had them spend their time while they waited to become "ënglish" on doing their usual nuclear work.

Which is when they worked out that if you removed U235 from U238 an atomic bomb was possible, and small enough to be delivered by plane. Previously opinion was it would weigh tonnes and not be effective.

That was groundbreaking and again becuase they had no clearance, Oliphant took that first note to the UK people, making MAUD happen, and then when the USA did nothing, Oliphant was sent over to wake them up. 

The USA had been locking up the MAUD reports in a safe as they had been classified as "Top Secret" and not shared with theUSA team responsible for investigating the possible development of a nuclear bomb, 

DUH

The choice of the name of the MAUD committee is quite funny

MAUD was assumed by many to be an acronym, however it is not. The name MAUD came to be in an unusual way. On 9 April 1940, the day Germany invaded Denmark, Niels Bohr had sent a telegram to Frisch. The telegram ended with a strange line "Tell Cockcroft and Maud Ray Kent".^[32][34] At first it was thought to be code regarding radium or other vital atomic-weapons-related information, hidden in an anagram. One suggestion was to replace the "y" with an "i", producing 'radium taken'. When Bohr returned to England in 1943, it was discovered that the message was addressed to John Cockcroft and Bohr's housekeeper Maud Ray, who was from Kent. Thus the committee was named the MAUD Committee.

Maybe it's good I think it's 18

Loved his movies

Good for her! 

I like a bit of fun and a laugh

I was always told Barbie figure wasn't representative of women

Then I went to remote Africa and it was accurate, 

Colour was wrong perhaps

True story of 2 aussies from Adelaide who changed the course of WW2 with 3 crucial inventions/discoveries

I used to love watching the guys making the rockets smoking, 

from a distance

Eventually one blew himself up

Oppenheimer leaves out how Marc Oliphant had to repeatidly kick the Americans to get the Atomic program going

Olipant also invented the microwave radar, which right up till the bomb was dropped was declared the most significant miliatary weapon of WW2

I am proud to say I haven't!

He was a double amputee and I gave him 50baht!

I do like to rise above the low lofe level of this board sometimes

Sinéad O’Connor has died at the age of 56, prompting grief and tributes for a singer who enchanted and at times shocked the world.

O’Connor’s family issued a brief statement on Wednesday evening announcing the death of an artist and activist who remained in the spotlight – often against her wishes – after topping the charts in 1990 with the single Nothing Compares 2 U.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad,” the statement said. “Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.”

The Irish singer’s death came 18 months after her 17-year-old son Shane died after leaving a hospital while on suicide watch. O’Connor had three other children.

The news stunned the music industry and O’Connor’s native Ireland. The taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, expressed sorrow. “Her music was loved around the world and her talent was unmatched and beyond compare. Condolences to her family, her friends and all who loved her music.

Gummigut 

Name from the past

I wonder if there's a bar in Madrid called patpong?

That Spanish monger would love it

And there's your answer

It's not a democracy and people seem to think it is

Past 70 years of politics in thailand people seem to think it's a democracy

Only time it was close was u.der Thakssin who everyone wanted gone

Not seeing the alternative

Sad

Yeah, quite on Facebook too

I kissed Prince Jeffrey,  it is frog Prince 

They are pretty quick to put you on no driving in Oz

I was suspended for a few years until they could sort out why I fainted, 

Over 75 and it's a yearly medical certificate

I'm not close to 75 but still need to produce a yearly medical certificate because of previous issue

Acumen in Chaengwattana, Jasmine Building. I rented space on their large dish for a while

Interesting Thai company 

Old Hippie on a good day?

Fark, all the best man! 

By chance I had a MRI on my brain today.

Nothing serious, just going deaf very fast

The pricing was similar but a little more than Thai prices. 

I seem to remember it was touted as same purity as Thai gold which is 22 or 23k? Can't remember. 

Perhaps Mr Coss has experience in buying Laos Gold

This was over 10 years ago, well over 10 years I suspect 

I assume copper as an additive, 

The point you seem to fail to grasp is the percentage is far less than in your formula

It's not rose gold, you went down that rabbit hole on your own

If you place Thai gold necklace next to a Laos one, going back 10+++ years over a 10 year period, the Laos gold had a rose tint,

I was very careful to say that

How many times Qld has beaten NSW, but I didn't expect you to recognise that
