Oppenheimer's Impact on Nuclear Power, World Government, and AI Explored
TL;DR Summary
The Nazis failed to develop a nuclear bomb due to a combination of factors. Germany was losing scientists, with many fleeing persecution and joining the Manhattan Project in the US. Wartime pressure and resource scarcity also hindered progress. Additionally, Hitler's lack of understanding and support for the project limited its resources and budget. The German scientists themselves were morally opposed to the atomic bomb and secretly sabotaged the effort. Ultimately, the German nuclear program shifted focus to building a nuclear reactor, but it never achieved a successful chain reaction.
