DR. TELLER HAD A DREAM.....
Los Alamos, New Mexico, July 1945
While scientists race to produce a bomb capable of incinerating an entire city, Dr. Teller has a bigger idea.
Sixty years ago, a searing release of heat and light heralded the detonation of the first atomic bomb. Three weeks later, the new weapon brought a decisive end to The Second World War. Even as the post-war world struggled to accept the presence of such unprecedented destructive power, the atomic bomb was obsolete. One of the Manhattan Project's leaders, Dr. Edward Teller, had been working since the beginning of the war on a bomb thousands of times more powerful.

“Had we not pursued the hydrogen bomb, there is a very real threat that we would now all be speaking Russian. I have no regrets.”
