    this is very good. I found it after searching for pile-1 ... this is the result of listening to the BBC world service podcast - THE BOMB - which I thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in this critical time in history.

    A great video. What about Heisenberg's nuclear reactor L-IV? It may not achieved reaction before it was destroyed. Was it not built before the Allies reactor.

    ROZE-uh-Velt, not ROOS-uh-Velt. I generally don't care about pronunciation variance, but when it's a name and my grandfather was alive when the person was, I'm a bit more of a stickler. Great video, thanks for making and sharing it.

    Nice summary but for repeated mispronunciation of Leo Szilard's name (2 syllables, not 3) and nuclear, not nuculer.

    I wanted to learn about this but someone involved in creating the video edited out most all of the breaths between phrases its like trying a paragraph that has no punctuation and it drives me crazy so unmusical and unhuman so I'm going to look for somewhere else to learn about the Chicago Pile experiments next time please leave the natural time and space of breath between phrases if you don't see how it could be important maybe you could compare it to all of the space in an atom.

    I really like the story and the video, except it really puts me off when the presenter repeatedly calls everything New-kular instead of Nuclear! I´m having a hard time following a "scientist" that doesn´t even know the proper terminology!

      Yes thank you!!! Nuke-u-lar is like a huge intelligence red flag for me and tough to take an informative present serious after. Maybe if it's mentioned once offhand in an unrelated video but if it's your subject you should prob learn New-Clear
