When a Physicist Stood at the Harbor of History
What does it mean to witness-and shape-the most explosive century in scientific history? In January 1939, a young physicist greeted Niels Bohr at a New York harbor, expecting to discuss the elegant mysteries of quantum mechanics. Instead, Bohr carried news that would crack open the atom and change civilization forever: nuclear fission was real. That physicist was John Wheeler, and his story reveals something profound about curiosity itself. While Einstein, Oppenheimer, and Feynman became household names, Wheeler worked quietly at the edges of the impossible-coining the term "black hole," mentoring a generation of brilliant minds, and asking questions that made even his boldest colleagues uncomfortable. His life wasn't just about discovering nature's secrets; it was about daring to imagine what those secrets might mean for existence itself.
