Enrico Fermi ændrede verden to gange. Først da han modtog Nobelprisen for sin banebrydende forskning i atomkernen. Senere da han stod bag verdens første kontrollerede kædereaktion – et gennembrud, der gjorde atomkraft mulig og blev et afgørende skridt mod udviklingen af atombomben. Men Fermi huskes også for et helt andet spørgsmål: Hvis universet vrimler med liv, hvorfor har ingen så banket på? Det her er fortællingen om en mand, hvis forskning kom til at forme både vores forståelse af universet og

A few years ago a satellite speeding through the Van Allen belt in earth orbit raised concerns that it may include a nuclear weapon. An explosion in that orbit would take out much of our global space infrastructure. The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 specifically prohibits such a thing, but it has proven technologically impossible to verify and monitor over the decades. Tom Whipple is joined by Prof Areg Danagoulian, Associate Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT to explore a clever

On July 9, 1955, mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell announced the Russell-Einstein manifesto, which warned the world of the dangers posed by nuclear weapons.
