ts a vicious rumor that was probably started by the vatican itself. in all my readings about the vatican, never have i come across a credible assertion of any pope saving any , even a single, jew. IMO, vatican news dissemination should be given the same credibility as TASS and PRAVDA in the FSU. Ca...

I keep trying to tell Sanjay M not to take that site seriously ... the Leaping Frogs thread is full of excerpts from that site Alokji the last paragraph of that blog may have been addressed to people like you: To make the story even more impressive, the CNN-IBN story in India is rated by the reader...

The Kak's paper appears in the IJTP .. It is same as the preprint except for small formatting changes ..(Paper print version, I believe is still not out, but it is in the latest online version) (BTW, the editor of IJTP, IMO, himself does not have a good reputation) There is a blog by a Harvard strin...

okay guys - I thought only the reporters were ddm types, and was giving the benefit of doubt to Dr. kak - The article in the "prestigious journal" supposed to be this from the arxiv database: http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0605199 (Yeah it had been for about 9 months here with zero citation!...

FWIW: Nandu - From what I understand, (as it is in the NY times story )) Another paper by Dr. Xu and Mr. Butt was supposed to be "independent" paper which " others" don't consider as "independent" (These guys are from the same university (or were there when the paper wa...

Amber G.

would say that all this prof. Subhask Kak has done is to embarrass himself Certainly the reporter who wrote the above piece, shows him/herself as a complete fool (IMO). It's as if someone who has never understood negative numbers writes about some one solving a "paradox" of "(1-3)&qu...

Johann – I do not know much about history, (that’s why I enjoy your posts) but you and others may find it interesting to read the Tsien affair in detail I had some professors who knew him. To call him a brilliant physicist/Engineer would be an understatement He had a prestigious scholarship from MIT...

Amber G.

The Chinese test device in 1964 was was an implosion design using uranium, which came as a surprise to the rest of the world. For many it was not a surprise, After all, thanks to McCarthyism, Tsien was deported from USA - and China got a lot delivered on a silver platter (Not only in missles/rocket...

Amber G.

the claim here is that centrifuges face technical hurdles that are worse than diffusion pipes Alok - As you say, looking at it as a physicist ( deducing from first principle) it is hard to support that claim. FWIW here are my thoughts Unlike involvement of laser (or similar techniques); where you s...

Amber G.

Alok – I think you already know Oak-Ridge Plant employed Diffusion process – Read somewhere that , that and the other (in Washington state) used mega-mega-watts of electricity.. BTW – Russia still has a huge centrifuge industry (Inherited from Soviet Union – their primary way to get HEU was/is centr...

Amber G.

2. How was the HEU for original gun-type fission weapons extracted?

It was electromagnetic separation - (Device was called calutron). Basically it was like a Mass spectrometer - heavy and light uranium ions follow trajectories with different curvatures in a strong magnetic field.

Ok a story about S Chandrasekhar (From an old NY times article): One story in particular illustrates Chandrasekhar's devotion to his science and his students.

Ashok About your comments about SN Bose, I find a few things hard to believe. (Do you have any references for those comments) About Bohr/Bathroom/housekeeper saga : Nice urban legend but most likely not true. AFAIK Bose has visited Paris (Worked with Mme Curie) and Germany (worked with Einstein) and...

is he an SOS or Mush ka Chamcha. Nah.. its just .. May be you are right ... And this from khilafah.com The only reason why these meetings take place is so that the Western powers can order and instruct their subcontractors (the rulers of the Muslims) in order to further their plans to subdue and hu...

Amber G.

Mr Powell said Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf was "as determined as we are" to put an end to nuclear proliferation.

Oh.. my god! Is he our SOS or Mush chamcha?

$7000 per gram?

Price for Pu ( for research purpose etx) is about $15 per gram in open market... If some one is ready to sell it to you.

Amber G.

Congrats. BTW Shiv, : Well - this only proves to me that I have been right in my personal jihad in not allowing BRF to enter into a stupid and needless competition with unmentionable Paki sites. FWIW I was a little skeptic and thought a few times that you are a little more strict than necessary but ...

Amber G.

For what it's worth (again, these are really rough estimates), I think it takes about 200 tons of yellowcake to build 50 bombs worth of HEU. I'll see if I can't track down that source. FWIW - 200 Tons of Yellowcake would give about 120 tons of tuballoy or about 1000 Kg of oralloy.. so 50 bombs seem...

Amber G.

assuming you posted it seriously

GD: What do you think?

Seriously (

), ask any Pak expert here, Just because a book is available in Barns and Noble .. do you really think that a pak govt scientis would know that? Fat chance.

JEM - Too bad there was no google in 1982.. I just did a google on 'barn' and found this web page among many;.. (Honestly I did not know the origin of the word 'barn' During wartime research on the atomic bomb, American physicists who were bouncing neutrons off uranium nuclei described the uranium n...

Amber G.

My understanding was that you had to have a reactor going to generate Pu (that Pu was a fission by-product or processed by-product?) - but that may be wrong, based on what I see everyone saying?? No plutonium expert, (just basic knowledge of Nuclear Physics).. but don't see how one can get Pu (in q...

OK, I will bite. Of course, unlike Tim, I would only give facts (and not opinions) :) based upon solid evidence. Since, unlike N^3 some of the evidence may not be as reliable as being told by an alien, :) I would present the evidence, and the rational for reaching the conclusion I am reaching. So yo...

along with 300 of Pakistan's best nuclear physicists ... Now as a physics grad student (My degree happens to be in Nuclea physics too) around the same time (in 1972 ) I doubt if there were more than 20 (most likely 10) 'nuclear physicst' (say a PhD) in whole of Pakistan. Any one has any stat on how...

No. Maybe. Perhaps. Sometimes. Occassionally. Er. ... The Pakistani general evokes so much mixed emotions...

Amber G.

OK! Everyone rest easy!

The biggest (proliferator) is now gone and so we don't have to worry about proliferation from Mr AQ Khan or his network. And this is a success for the international community,

Yes this is straight from Our SOS (C. Powell's) mouth!
Powell says nuclear ring broken

Sridhar,
Can we translate the Mushy press conf for the benefit of all? Thanks, ramana

Can you? ..Please!!! (I have tried to listen but no luck - the link - for me - does not work -- is there any place where the transcripts are?.. Thanks.

Mr Khan is the tip of the iceberg

You got it all wrong.. according to Qazi-uvach "tip of the iceberg" means it is not only Pakistan but many many other nations are involved.. :whine:

Come on folks - Pakistan has come clean, Yes. How bold and straight-forward Pak is. Now it is Inida's turn and they should start investigating their scientists starting with Kalam. Everyone knows that India is known to be a "terrific" prolifilator and they are the one who are close to Ira...

Since 1947 Pakistan had 13 Commanders-in-Chief/Chiefs of Army Staff.

7. Gen. Tikka Khan (1972-1976) ? A Punjabi

Sorry to show my ignorance, but is he the same Tikka Khan as the 71 mass murderer?
