Heisenberg headed the Nazi nuclear effort, but he recommended against building a bomb because it would take to long to affect the war (this was early in the war and it was generally assumed Germany would win in a few more months).  He mostly pursued the idea of a power reactor, but he didn't have a very good idea of how a reactor would work and greatly overestimated the amount of U235 needed.  He was a theoretician and really a very bad choice to a manage what was essentially an engineering development.  In contrast the U.S. Manhattan project was headed by Gen. Leslie Groves whose experience and expertise was in building barracks.

Well, even some of the best scientific minds have gone astray frequently. Heisenberg, for example, headed the Nazi bomb effort, more with a shrug than a lot of thought. We did have worse examples of scientists screwing things up; Lysenko, the Eugenicists, Mengele, a physician and an anthropologist. For bad things in history, we do have a stake in keeping things Western, for a while, unless one sees Xi's China as the better model for scientific successes? For me, the carvings up of the Falun Gong and the Uighers awaits the eventual release of names of the scientists involved. I could be in for a very long wait.

This is only for general education of “Brilliant (Supremacist?) White America”. Not everyone who posts here need be white, or of any particular religion or even American!!  No non-pagan citizen of any country will ever call any human being “trash”. Every PERSON no matter how heinous is worth more than “the whole world”. For general education two or three links are given below to open up, if at all possible, some closed minds. A scientist with a closed mind is a very dangerous species— nonetheless never any less worthy than “the whole world”. America has people from all over the world. That “knowledge” alone is necessary to be cautious with words.

Mar 22, 2018 · The credit for establishing Christianity as the official religion of ancient Armenia is traditionally given to Saint Gregory the Illuminator or Enlightener (previously known as Grigor Lusavorich, c. 239 - c. 330 CE). Gregory is credited with converting king Tiridates the Great (r. c. 298 to c. 330 CE) to the new religion, formally establishing the Armenian Church, and spreading Christianity … Armenia (98% Christian) was the first ever Christian Kingdom.

Nasrani Syrian Christians ( Syrian-Malabar -Mappila-Saint Thomas Christians ) people are an ethnic community in Kerala. Their heritage is Syriac-Keralite, their culture South Indian, their faith St. Thomas Christian, and their language Malayalam. According to the Acts of Thomas apostle, the first converts made by St. Thomas in India were Malabari Jews, who had settled in Kerala since the time of 'King Solomon' of Israel.  Their tradition goes back to the very beginnings of first century Christian thought, and the seven churches that are established by St. Thomas the Apostle among the natives and the Jewish diaspora in Kerala. They follow a unique Hebrew-Syriac Christian tradition which includes several Jewish elements along with some Hindu customs.It is believed that St. Thomas travelled to Kerala in AD. 52. https://www.encyclopedia.com/humanities/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/syrian-christian-kerala “Saint Thomas, the disciple of Jesus Christ, landed in a.d. 52 at Maliankara near Cranganore. It is believed that he visited different parts of Kerala and converted a good number of local inhabitants, including seven from the literate upper-caste Nambudiri Brahmans. It seems that Saint Thomas established churches in seven places in Kerala. Malayalam came under the influence of Sanskrit and Prakrit with the spread of Aryan influence. Sanskrit words and sentences are freely used in Malayalam. Kerala had its own scripts (/lipis/ ) from early days. The modern Malayalam script is adopted mainly from the grantha script (book script)….. Malayalam with its fifty-three letters perhaps expresses by proper marks the most extensive phonology among all the Indian languages. With more than 74 percent literacy, the highest in India, Kerala has developed a wealth of Literature unmatched in any other region. The more than forty newspapers are read by intellectuals as well working-class farmers and factory laborers. The best known is Malayala Manorama (first published in 1888) with a readership of close to a million, the largest in India”.
