Internet story is mostly a fairytale, specifically modern stupidity of "fathers" shows this. They were just riding on the wave of something that everyone were experimenting with at that time.
A-bomb was about pulling some people away from academia, not building it by academia.
"Built by academia" result is something we can see with colliders.
- UnFleshedOne 6y agoNext time we need a project the size of A-bomb, we might also pull some people from academia and industry. Then they will take some obscure area of research on Prevalence of Memetics in Mating Habits of Extinct Species of Dung Beetles done 50 years ago by an old fart with tenure (and his 20 underpaid grad students) and build a psychodelic control system that can quickly and efficiently enslave and zombiefy large human populations. TLDR: you never know what you'll need in the future. The only correct way is to research everything and we need a system for that.
