My new book about the atomic bomb program — not sharing any specifics yet — is due out in late 2027. This is some of the background research I’ve done to get my head around the complete story. There is so much more to say, obviously, but I hope this at least gives you a deeper understanding and appreciation for the Wartime Manhattan Project and the German equivalent, the Uranverien.

The Himalayas are by far the largest and tallest mountain range on Earth. Right now, anyway. As Earth’s continents have slammed into each other for billions of years, they have created supermountain ranges that put the Himalayas to shame. But were they taller? I look into in today’s video.
