    • who refused to accept it; why was the thesis rejected and what was the summary of the argument that lead to the acceptance of the thesis
      The source says: "For some no doubt trivial reason, Kemmer was unable to make the trip to Oxford, and his place was taken by R. E. Peierls, who declared the thesis unworthy of acceptance. Outside the examination chamber, he privately suggested that the standard consolation prize of a B.Sc. topped up with an entry into his own empire in Birmingham... Fortunately, the internal examiner J. de Witt put on a good show of determination that the degree be awarded. R. E. Peierls retired hurt from the contest."
  • Section 3;
  • Section 4;
  • Section 4–5; why did Ward leave his job at Aldermaston? He career was going good and he was also titled "father of the British hydrogen bomb", but what was the reason to leave all of that and join an electric company, that too not a reputed one?

  • 48.7% confidence, violation possible. It is from a blog, what is your stand?
    checkY It's always hard to tell who's copied who in a case like this, so I have assumed a copyvio, and rewritten the offending section. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:04, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
