This will not be the end of my work on atomic weapons. I believe the future is the time of the #Super bomb and I hope to continue my work on thermonuclear weapons, especially now that the beast of nuclear warfare has been unleashed into the world. #2018CUAB
We all got the Army-Navy "E" Award today. It's a tiny thing, a small silver pin. While I appreciate its meaning, it is trivial in comparison to the scope of the work we have done here with the Manhattan Project. #2018CUAB
It appears that the petition circulated by @LeoSzil calling for a demonstration to the Japanese failed to alter the decision to test the bomb in Alamogordo today. Thanks to @OppenheimerJBob for convincing me not to sign it. I hope I don't regret this decision. #2018CUAB
The first test of our atomic weapons program has been successfully completed. These last few years of hard work are finally beginning to bear fruit. (Also, it was an implosion-based system, which makes this occasion all the better) #2018CUAB
This month, my research team and I have determined that a Super bomb, or thermonuclear weapon, would not set the atmosphere on fire. This is good. I maintain my stance that this project is worth pursuing. #2018CUAB
While I am no longer a part of it, the #implosion project that I worked on for a while has entered its final phase, headed by @OppenheimerJBob. We're getting close to the finish, I can feel it. #2018CUAB
The Army Air Force has reportedly started drop-testing the bombs; unfortunately the implosion method I was so excited about back in September has shown some slight problems (Maybe my Super bombs wouldn't have had these problems...) #2018CUAB
Just a reminder, due to Army security protocols, I now go by the name "Ed Tilden" when outside Los Alamos; @LeoSzil is "Leo Samuel"; @OppenheimerJBob "James Oberhelm"; @EnricoFermi13 "Henry Farmer"; etc. #Undercover #NewYearNewMe #LooseLipsSinkShips #2018CUAB
My old friend #JohnvonNeumann visiting Los Alamos to discuss a higher explosive-to-metal ratio in the implosion bomb, faster assembly time. Pretty exciting concept! Less fuel needed, lower purity standards! @Groves_theGreat think of the logistical advantages here! #2018CUAB
Sometime this month I'm going to ask the Governing Board to let me pursue the idea of a #Super bomb further. After all, the Germans get to do it; why can't I? I'm somewhat optimistic, but I feel like @OppenheimerJBob might want to pick someone else for the job. #2018CUAB
Met with the Manhattan Project Planning Board today. Talked about staff, spaces, etc. We're almost out of staff housing; we're going to put off hiring more people and think things through more carefully. Maybe @Groves_theGreat will approve more housing soon? #2018CUAB
Unpacked my piano, a vintage Steinway. Is it late at night? Yes. Does that matter? Of course not! I hope my new neighbors enjoy the music! #2018CUAB
I'm a scientist; naturally, I assumed I'd be doing some sort of science here at #LosAlamos. I mean, that's reasonable right? Well, guess who's the Official Greeter for the new folks here? Yep. Me. So welcome to Los Alamos. Enjoy your stay. #Rant #Overqualified #2018CUAB
Congratulations to my colleague @EnricoFermi13 on getting Chicago Pile 1 to go critical. Our hard work has paid off; looking forward to what this development will bring for the future. #2018CUAB
Been discussing the concept of a "Super" bomb (thermonuclear) with a few of my colleagues lately, and it seems like a pretty good idea. My only worry is that it might ignite the nitrogen in the air; as that one song goes, "I don't want to set the world on fire" #2018CUAB
Update: They've got the lot of us packed into a sealed-off room in LeConte Hall. On the top floor. In the middle of summer. In California. Around a dozen scientists, and even a few students. Hopefully these meetings don't take all weekend like the last round. #2018CUAB
Headed to UC Berkeley for another round of meetings with @OppenheimerJBob @BigBadBobSerber and others. Focusing on mostly theoretical work this time, and getting closer to discussing the mechanism for a bomb. More updates to come. #2018CUAB

@EdwardTeller13 @OppenheimerJBob Yes, we are oh so close to fruition. #2018CUAB
@EdwardTeller13 My three favorite words: "faster" and "more efficient"! Do you think he can help us figure out a way to prevent predetonation? #2018CUAB
@EdwardTeller13 I’ll let you know once I hear more about your proposal... #2018CUAB
@EdwardTeller13 It just so happens that time and effort are two things we are short on in this race for an atomic weapon. Its time to get all of the great minds working on one track and it has been decided that will be fission. #2018CUAB
@EdwardTeller13 That's the spirit! #2018CUAB
@EdwardTeller13 No ill-will? Alright I will take your word on it for now. We will put you to work in no time. #2018CUAB
@EdwardTeller13 @Groves_theGreat Of course. As long as it doesn’t get too theoretical. Like the errr Superbomb. #2018CUAB
@EdwardTeller13 We can use you until we get a sign. #JustSmileAndNod #2018CUAB
@EdwardTeller13 Thank you @EdwardTeller13! Our progress was only possible because of such support from the scientific community. #2018CUAB
@EdwardTeller13 I certainly wouldn’t want to be the one flying the plane to drop that bomb when the whole sky catches on fire...sounds dangerous. #2018CUAB
@EdwardTeller13 @BigBadBobSerber I agree, thermonuclear fusion may be a better option. Nonetheless, both must be explored. I can’t have you getting too sidetracked! I know you feel strongly about thermonuclear fusion. #2018CUAB
@EdwardTeller13 You and the fellow luminaries will be able to provide some impressive research on fission. I am sure of it. #2018CUAB
@EdwardTeller13 @LeoSzil @Albert_E1nstein The only way the Allies can protect ourselves from the Germans is to develop a weapon of our own. #DeterrenceTheory #2018CUAB
@EdwardTeller13 @BigBadBobSerber The theoretical stuff is my favorite part! We are doing good work boys. We will theoretically keep working through this fission question. #2018CUAB
