The RPV, using advanced UFO electronics, may represent the right way to re-establish rough equivalence with the kind of technology exhibited in UFOs. Having become a consultant to the new Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in 1952, he served as Associate Director from 1954 to 1958 and as Director from 1958 until 1960, at which time he accepted a joint appointment as a professor of physics at the University of California and Associate Director of the laboratory. He held these posts until his retirement in 1975. He continued as a consultant at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Teller received numerous honours, among them the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Albert Einstein Award, the Enrico Fermi Award, the Harvey Prize from the Technion-Israel Institute, and the National Medal of Science. He was a fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Nuclear Society, and was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Science. Edward Teller's books include Memoirs: A Twentieth-Century Journey in Science and Politics (written with Judith Shoolery, 2001), Conversations on the Dark Secrets of Physics (Plenum Press, 1991), Better a Shield Than a Sword (Free Press, 1987), Pursuit of Simplicity (Pepperdine Press, 1980), and Energy from Heaven and Earth (W.H. Freeman, 1979). FUTURE WEAPONS In thinking about future weapons, most people envision a sophistication of existing weapons. This unimaginative view has not been borne out by development during recent decades in which technology has become ever more important in military...

(Source: Hoover Institution website, Edward Teller Homepage, at http:/www-hoover.stanford.edu/bios/teller.html) Dr Edward Teller (1908-2003) DR EDWARD TELLER - A TRIBUTE from the Hoover Institution website r Edward Teller, a senior research fellow at the Hoover Institution since 1975, where he specialised in international and national policies concerning defence and energy, died on Tuesday, September 9, 2003. He was ninety-five. Teller was most widely known for his significant contributions to the first demonstration of thermonuclear energy; in addition, he added to the knowledge of quantum theory, molecular physics and astrophysics. He served as a member of the General Advisory Committee of the US Atomic Energy Commission from 1956 to 1958 and was chairman of the first Nuclear Reaction Safeguard Committee. He had been concerned with civil defence since the early 1950s. He was a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the US Air Force, a member of the Advisory Board of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and on the White House Science Council. Edward Teller was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1908. He received his university training in Germany and completed his PhD in physics under Werner Heisenberg in 1930 at the University of Leipzig. In 1934, under the auspices of the Jewish Rescue Committee, Teller served as a lecturer at the University of London. He spent two years as a research associate at the University of Gottingen, followed by a year as a Rockefeller fellow with Niels Bohr in Copenhagen. In 1935, Teller and his wife came to the United States, where he held, until 1941, a professorship at George Washington University. The Tellers became US citizens in 1941. In 1942, having served as a consultant to the Briggs committee, Teller joined the Manhattan Project. His efforts during the war years included work on the first nuclear reactor, theoretical calcu- lations of the far-reaching effects of a fission explosion, and research on a potential fusion reaction. In 1946, he became a pro- fessor of physics at the University of Chicago but returned to Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in 1949. 58 = NEXUS Dr Edward Teller (1908-2003) www.nexusmagazi ne.com DECEMBER 2003 — JANUARY 2004
