Oppenheimer's Controversial Legacy
D
5:53Dagogo AltraideHOST
All that he got was probation and an order to seek a counsellor.
D
6:00Dagogo AltraideHOST
Things would improve however when he moved to Göttingen University in 1926.
D
6:05Dagogo AltraideHOST
Here, he would come into contact with the legendary Max Born, who himself had recently coined the term quantum mechanics.
D
6:13Dagogo AltraideHOST
For context, at the time, Born would mentor Werner Heisenberg of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and Enrico Fermi of the Fermi Paradox.
11. Special and General Relativity (cont.)
C
37:42Charles BailynHOST
In fact, Einstein was not the world's greatest mathematician, and it took him until 1917 to get all this worked out.
C
37:49Charles BailynHOST
He had to go and get himself some math tutoring at the University of Göttingen, so that he could understand the geometric properties.
C
37:56Charles BailynHOST
So, yeah, there's a big mathematical theory behind it.
C
37:58Charles BailynHOST
Yes?

How Sex Hormones Shape the Male & Female Brain | Sarah E. Hill & David Puts | #18
D
37:18David PutsGUEST
So a better designed study, and do they prefer more masculine voices at the fertile time when estrogen is high and progesterone is low? No.
D
37:26David PutsGUEST
I did not find that, and I also, you know, was talking to collaborators at University of Göttingen in Germany, who d- also did a nice study.
D
37:35David PutsGUEST
They measured women, fewer women, but still a good sample.
D
37:39David PutsGUEST
I think it was maybe 100 and something, 120, 140, something like that, but four times in the cycle, and also had hormones, and also found no change.
Early Hanoverians-Edward Ellis Morris
P
179:44Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
It is usual to speak contemptuously of George II and especially of his indifference to literature and culture.
P
179:51Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
It is only fair to remember that acting upon the advice of his Hanoverian ministers, he was the founder of the University of Göttingen, which is properly called after him Georgia Augusta.
P
180:04Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
For a long time Göttingen held the highest rank among the universities of Germany, and though not now the first, is still of considerable importance.
P
180:14Pamela NagamiNARRATOR
The university was founded in order to prevent the Hanoverians going elsewhere for university education, but to prevent the deadening influence of the clergy, those who drew up the scheme of the foundation determined to keep the appointment of all professors in the hands of the government.
Scientists Capture Molecular Orbitals in 3D for the First Time
S
4:47speaker_2HOST
You force the fan blade to freeze in one random spot, and you entirely lose the shape of the blur.
S
4:53speaker_3HOST
Okay, let's unpack this then because today we are exploring a massive breakthrough from an interdisciplinary team at the University of Göttingen, published in Nature Communications, where they actually managed to image the complete three-dimensional wave function of a nanometer-sized organic molecule.
S
5:10speaker_2HOST
Which is just a staggering achievement.
S
5:12speaker_3HOST
It really is because they didn't just run some computer simulation.
Enclosing Caste with Rupa Viswanath and Joel Lee

Rupa is professor at the Center for Modern Indian Studies at the University of Göttingen and a fellow of Lucy Cavendish College at the University of Cambridge.
A
2:20Ajanta SubramanianHOST
Her research interests include histories of slavery in South Asia and the politics of its historiography, the political economy of caste, and comparative racialization.

Joel is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Williams College.
Public education was built on this key concept — now it's gone

days.Alexander went to the mining academy and became a mining engineer and actually did finish his degree in Freiberg in Saxony.
P

Oppenheimer - Destroyer of Worlds Documentary
J
5:00Juan NaulaNARRATOR
For instance, it was Rutherford who first discovered and explained what nuclear half-life and the radiation associated with it were, an achievement which Rutherford was awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for in 1908.

Towards the end of his first year at Cambridge, Oppenheimer, whose abilities were beginning to attract considerable attention amongst European physicists, accepted an offer from the German physicist Max Born to study under him at the University of Göttingen in Germany, one of Europe's great centers of learning.
J
5:33Juan NaulaNARRATOR
There, Oppenheimer studied with a number of contemporaries who would become giants of the study of theoretical physics during the 20th century, notably Werner Heisenberg, Enrico Fermi, and Edward Teller, several of whom Oppenheimer would work alongside during the Manhattan Project in the midst of the Second World War.
J
5:52Juan NaulaNARRATOR
Remarkably, Oppenheimer was awarded his PhD in physics in the spring of 1927, less than a year after
