Posted by Hemos on from the making-history dept.

December writes "As a follow up to this slashdot article, "The family of Niels Bohr has decided to release all documents deposited at the Niels Bohr Archive, either written or dictated by Niels Bohr, pertaining specifically to the meeting between Bohr and Heisenberg in September 1941. There are in all eleven documents. The decision has been made in order to avoid possible misunderstandings regarding the contents of the documents."

  1. Schroedinger? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny
    I wonder if he knew Schroedinger? That way, Germany could say it had a nuclear weapons programme, maybe in a box, possibly with a cat (alive or dead), but no one would know without looking.

    If they knew Seuss, it'd be the Cat in the Hat in the Box - with the Nazi weapons programme... I'm not sure where the eggs and ham fit in though, can anyone clarify?

    I've had waay too much coffee...

    Bohr thought the sun would continue to rise in the east. Heinsenberg was said to be uncertain.

    They met in September 1941. I guess that means we can't know where they met.

    Yes indeedy, I surely can. Thru the slot in the side to feed the cat. Otherwise the cat would die before anyone opened the box. You wouldn't want to make a mockery of the whole physics quantum thang by letting the cat starve while the theorists dithered about with blackboards and chalk, would you?

    Fact #3: Col. Hogan convinced me that the heavy water the Nazis were temporarily storing at my Stalag was in fact water from the fountain of youth. I was stupid for drinking it...
