Documentary Screening - Ultimate Weapon: The H-Bomb Dilemma

All are invited to a free screening of the independent documentary, "Ultimate Weapon: The H-Bomb Dilemma" at 6 pm in Room FAV 262 (Fine Arts Visual Building) on the USU Logan campus. The 45-minute film, which debuted on The History Channel in August 2000, explores the secret late-1940s/early-1950s debate on the decision to build the H-bomb. It features declassified information from the Los Alamos National Laboratory archives, along with other sources. The film was written by Peter Galison, Pellegrino University Professor of the History of Science and of Physics at Harvard University. Galison is the keynote speaker for the October 20-21, 2023 Four Corners Regional Meeting of the American Physical Society, which will be held in Logan, Utah. The public may access Galison's keynote address, set for Friday evening, Oct. 20, via Zoom. For the address time and a Zoom link, call 435-797-2857.
