How Close Were the Nazis to Making an Atomic Bomb?
During the second world war, one of the biggest efforts of the war was the Manhattan Project: the secret American program to create an atomic bomb.
The scientists and staff of the Manhattan Project were in a race to beat Nazi Germany to be the first country to build the A-bomb. When Germany surrendered in May 1945, and Americans detonated the first device in July, they had seemingly won the race.
But was it in fact a race at all? How close were the Nazis to actually building an atom bomb?

In the year 331 BC, fresh from his conquest of Egypt, Alexander the Great established a new city in Egypt named after himself.

Survivorship Bias
During World War II, the US Army assigned statistician Abraham Wald the task of statistically figuring out where extra armor should be added to American bombers.
After analyzing the evidence and sharing it with the Army, he recommended the exact opposite of what the Army assumed. The reason was that the Army had engaged in a logical fallacy.

The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact
When most people think of World War II, they think of the Allied power of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union, versus the Axis power of Germany, Italy, and Japan.
However, this wasn’t always the case. At the start of the war in Europe, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union actually coordinated with each other to invade their neighbors.

Righties vs Lefties
Statistically speaking, about 90% of you listening to my words right now are right-handed. Of the rest of you, almost all of you will be left-handed.
The question of why so many more people are right-handed as opposed to left-handed is one that people have asked for centuries. It is an imbalance that has existed throughout history and across every culture.
Learn more righties and lefties and why the imbalance between them exists, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Great Pyramid of Giza
The Great Pyramid of Giza, also known as the Great Pyramid of Khufu, is a structure in which superlatives don’t really do justice.
It isn’t just old, it’s really old. It isn’t just big, it’s really big.
It has served as a sentinel to some of the most important people and events in history, and it has also been the focal point of speculation about the past.

Alfred Wegner and Continental Drift
In 1910, a German Earth scientist noticed something about the map of the world. South America seemed to fit into Africa. North America seemed to fit into northwest Africa and Europe.
He proposed that the continents may at one time have been joined and subsequently moved.
The scientific community laughed at him and rejected his idea.
