Lisa Meitner was the eight-year-old woman twenty very shy, and in spite of the timidity and lasting concern, the young doctor of physics and reached Berlin is determined to get a job in the field of radioactivity exciting. At this time, were not the universities of Germany in 1907, employs women graduates, but fortunately there was a stop on its side, a scientist Otto Hahn chemistry, and here also comes the role of the Max Planck after Einstein helped by getting a job at the university, asked Again from Otto Hahn to continue with Lisa Meitner which may find the person who can help him in his research. Lisa has initiated the formulation of its desire to assist in the physical and mathematical analysis of chemical problems, and radioactivity research in those days was conducted in collaboration between physics and chemistry. Thus, Lisa Meitner was taking its first steps in the suit will change the history of the world, and the way it will be strewn with success and fame, but it is also fraught with fear and betrayal.
Began Meitner and Hahn cooperation in unequal conditions, they gave him the lab, but she was forced to work in the warehouse of the timber. Years ago and I've even got rid of Lisa timidity, and in 1912 moved to Hahn and the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Chemistry have become equal in terms of functional class. Physics is her passion was the first and primary Oalaa, even Lisa Meitner became the first woman in Germany gain the title of professor, "Professor". The twenties and thirties of the last century, the golden years for Nuclear Research. The most famous of the nucleus of an atom is known in that period was the nucleus of the uranium atom, heavier atoms. The Meitner and Hahn nabe race scientists know about the possibility of the formation of the largest uranium nucleus nucleus add more neutrons to it.
Meitner was on the verge of reaching a large discovery, but Germany in the thirties was a threat even to the world of first-class place like it. When the Nazis came to power was one of the first things they have done, is the expulsion of the Jews from German universities and academics. Feinstein was very famous people, but this was the first required to keep them away. Has been expelled from Germany in 1933. The Lisa was not expelled at that time was able to stay because she was Austrian. But in 1938, annexed Austria to Germany and became the developed complex. The pressure was unbearable after it broadcast some fanatical Nazis at the university that they should leave as the rest of the Jews. As for Hahn, who was known Bmaadath ideas of Nazism has done its utmost to protect them, but the university president told him that the cover-up and protection of the system makes it possible to issue a warrant for the execution of all those who participated in this act. In 1938 a Dutch colleagues went to Berlin and smuggled him on a train to the Netherlands, has been a terrifying journey to the point where it is in the moment of what I begged him to return back to Berlin, but in spite of the danger, we have been able to cross the border.
I've lost everything, her home and her job and by and hers and her retirement, I have been deprived of their work at the moment, which was on the verge of where access to a large discovery. But it did not bother who suffered deprivation.Mind was preoccupied with physics, and surprisingly, they were able to cooperate with Hahn via messages. In Berlin, it was Hahn had reached a strange results, and did not find anything to confirm the belief that the extrusion of uranium nuclei with neutrons will lead to increase in size, in fact, seemed to experiences like it had been contaminated with the element radium, the smaller of the uranium atom, Vaanaj Hahn to experience Meitner in the physical analysis even from a distance.When I read the Hahn Meitner messages felt that something different is happening in their experiences.
To see how Lisa Meitner will deal with the strange results that Hahn sent to her, but that's another article.
