Edward Teller, the Hungarian-born American theoretical physicist, affectionately known as the "father of the hydrogen bomb," played a pivotal role in the development of nuclear weapons. His relentless pursuit of thermonuclear fusion led to the creation of the hydrogen bomb, a weapon with explosive power far exceeding that of the atomic bomb. Teller's contributions to nuclear physics and his dedication to national security cemented his legacy as a controversial yet groundbreaking figure in the scientific and military landscape of the 20th century.
