Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: no, but I did know the man who worked on and deviced a better mirror finish inside the H-bomb, this made the fusion reaction magnify greatly, he had been an Iowa physics teacher, and in the early 1950s was offered big money to go out in the desert and work at this gov't think tank, he said they worked on each little part alone, and never really thought about what and why they where making such a devastationg (10 times stronger than the A-bomb), to kill people with. Well he had a dream that his head stone said here lies Merle Schramm, he made a better bomb", he woke up in a cold sweat, and did not want to be remembered for that, so he quit his job at the think tank and returned to teach high scchool physics in a little town in Iowa, and I knew him as a Deacon at a small baptist church, who did not regret his desision to not continue working on the H-bomb, nuff said
