it's fucking cageworthy how smart von neumann was

[mogger123]

ive been thinking about the guy because of his odd absence from oppenheimer. not only was he central to the atomic bomb development but afterwards he pushed for the creation of ICBMs and pioneered game theory and the concept of mutually assured destruction, leading to where we stand today. not one single person has had as much influence over the geopolitics of the late 20th and 21 century.

I don't know how much he actually contributed, he probably just signed some paperwork there and cashed some checks, when I was in college for example I saw some documents in the dean's office and he was also supposedly involved in tons of research projects, even though the guy was fucking dumb, but simply had the right connections so he easily ascended in the academic world - that's how stuff works there - most of the actual work and research projects are actually done by the assistants but they have to work under the guidance of a university professor.
When you're young and just starting as an university assistant you will work your ass off, while the professors will take all the credit for your work, there are guys who even made huge scientific discoveries - stuff that won the Nobel prize, but their professors took all the credit, they were the one's in charge of the projects even thought their contribution was minimal or even non-existent.
Of course, if you're hard working and persistent, you will eventually ascend and eventually become a professor yourself and then you can be in charge of projects, put others to do all the hard work, while you take all the credit and money for yourself.

So...I wouldn't be surprised if Von Neumann did something similar here - his reputation was huge, everyone wanted him, but he probably just put his assistants to do all the consultant work and business.

The us military isn't fucking around handing out checks for no reason. Besides Von Neumann was the world expert on explosives and charges

Lol, they have a huge budget and they spent a ton of money on lots of useless projects and crap, especially during WW2 and the cold war.

bruh how can you know something is a dead end until you try it. they were experimenting and would cut funding as soon as they could see a project was going nowhere

Gottfried Wilhelm (von)[a] Leibnizhttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Wilhelm_Leibniz#cite_note-18 (1 July 1646 [O.S. 21 June] – 14 November 1716) was a German polymath active as a mathematician, philosopher, scientist and diplomat. He is a prominent figure in both the history of philosophy and the history of mathematics. He wrote works on philosophy, theology, ethics, politics, law, history and philology. Leibniz also made major contributions to physics and technology, and anticipated notions that surfaced much later in probability theory, biology, medicine, geology, psychology, linguistics and computer science. In addition, he contributed to the field of library science by devising a cataloguing system whilst working at Wolfenbüttel library in Germany that would have served as a guide for many of Europe's largest libraries.[17] Leibniz's contributions to a wide range of subjects were scattered in various learned journals, in tens of thousands of letters and in unpublished manuscripts. He wrote in several languages,
