Ted sort of described it
as almost a comedy. In Albuquerque, they just both walked up
to each other and sort of met
in the middle of a street and the agents,
at a later point, said, "Oh, my gosh,
don't ever do that." You know, "You can't both
come from different directions and meet in the middle
of a street like that." Joseph: But it was during that
time that Ted did pass along the rough plans
for the implosion bomb. Ted: I transmitted the concept
of the implosion, in which you design
the explosive in such a way, when the explosives
are exploded, the fissionable material
is squeezed down. And it will be
a very rapid energy release and the exploding bomb
as almost a comedy. In Albuquerque, they just both walked up

at a later point, said,
00:00:16.798 --> 00:00:18.495
"Oh, my gosh,

in which you design
the explosive in such a way,

when the explosives
are exploded,
00:00:41.605 --> 00:00:44.347
the fissionable material
is squeezed down.
00:00:44.521 --> 00:00:46.567
And it will be
a very rapid energy release
00:00:46.741 --> 00:00:48.656
and the exploding bomb.
