On Stanislaw Ulam

[cema]

[...] in the midst of World War II, his friend John von Neumann invited him to a secret project in New Mexico. To research the invitation, Ulam checked out a book on New Mexico from the University Library, and found, listed on the library check-out card, those who had successively disappeared from the campus at the UW.

Ulam and Teller jointly applied for a patent on the hydrogen bomb.


Did they actually get it ? :)
