Nuclear astrophysicists at war

“…At this meeting, Hans Bethe presented his ideas on stellar hydrogen burning using 12 C as a catalyst 22 . Similar ideas were also pursued by von Weizsäcker in Germany at the time 23 …”

“…This was driven by an intellectual interest that also connected them with Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker in Germany, who attempted to identify the sequence of nuclear reactions that could serve simultaneously as a stellar energy source and the mechanism to build up the elements in the Universe. 21 Assuming that stars are made nearly exclusively from hydrogen, Weizsäcker identified proton captures as the main reaction mechanism, but realized that at the temperatures assumed to exist in the stellar core, a sequence of proton captures can only synthesize elements up to oxygen due to the increasing Coulomb repulsion. Hence, he argued, the heavier elements should be made by neutron capture where the neutrons must be set free in the star by proton-induced reactions.…”

“…22 Similar ideas were also pursued by von Weizsäcker in Germany at the time. 23 It is little appreciated that this virtual quasi-collaboration between the brilliant young nobleman von Weizsäcker, shown in Figure 4, who was attracted by the ideas of German superiority represented by the Nazi movement and wanted to create a new world, [24][25][26] and the equally brilliant young Bethe of Jewish descent, shown in Figure 4, who stood up for the old liberals of the science world, 27 catalyzed by the ‡ In 1982, Willy Fowler told one of the authors that he believed that von Weizsäcker's work was not appreciated in the United States as it would deserve and that this was due to the fact that it only existed in German. Fowler then asked a graduate student at the Kellogg Radiation Laboratory to translate von Weizsäcker's papers into English.…”

The Importance of Ethical Guidelines in Medicine Today

“…In contrast to an object, a subject is not at another persons disposal. This means that an individual cannot be used as a means to an end, neither by another person nor by himself, instead the individual must be seen as an end in himself and must be respected for himself (8).…”
