THE BOMB THAT SHOOK THE WORLD
The history of the atomic bomb as told by one of its creators and the Manhattan project member - Roy Glauber
PIONEERS
A series of documentary films on popular science
DIRECTOR, WRITER, PRODUCER, EDITOR: Karol Jałochowski
PRODUCER: POLITYKA Sp. z o.o. S.K.A. and Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore
ABOUT THE SERIES
A series of documentary films on popular science under the title “Pioneers” is a one of a kind undertaking. Karol Jałochowski, the person behind the idea and the creator of all the films, reached out to the most prominent living scientists of the modern world and has created a series of popular science documentaries presenting the personalities behind the greatest minds of the twenty first century, in an unconventional way. Each episode presents the most fascinating thinkers of our time (often winners of the Noble Prize and other scientific awards), pioneers, people crossing the boundaries on their scientific fields and disciplines, working on the edge of knowledge, asking the absolutely fundamental questions - those relating the the nature of reality, the essence of the mind and free will or the relation between science and faith.
Each part of the “Pioneers” series is dedicated to one scientist and consists of an extended recording of a meeting with the protagonist at a place he selected, enhanced by materials from the archives (photos, film fragments, etc.) and private materials. The film presents a profile and views of the scientists in an unconventional way, far away from the university office or lecture hall.
ROY GLAUBER - THERE AND BACK AGAIN
The youngest and likely the only surviving scientific participant of the Manhattan project and a Noble prize winner in 2005. As a result of the Manhattan programme, the first nuclear bomb was created (Glauber witnessed its first test), attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki happened, the discovery of thermonuclear bomb occurred, and a reconfiguration of the power balance after World War Two took place.
The episode presents Glauber’s personal recollections and thoughts about the project and the profile of the Harvard professor.
