Edward Teller
Edward Teller was a Hungarian-American physicist known as the 'father of the hydrogen bomb' for his pivotal role in its development during the Cold War. Born on January 15, 1908, he made significant contributions to nuclear physics and was a prominent advocate for nuclear energy as well as a controversial figure for his support of the arms race. Teller's work spanned several decades, and he was involved in various scientific and policy discussions around nuclear weapons, energy, and space exploration. He also had a lasting impact on the field of astrophysics, contributing to discussions about extraterrestrial life and the implications of Fermi's Paradox, which questions why humanity has not yet encountered intelligent alien civilizations.
