Bethe (Hans Bethe)

Hans Bethe was a notable physicist who contributed significantly to our understanding of nuclear processes and stellar energy. Born in 1906 in Germany, he played a key role in developing the theory of how stars produce energy through nuclear fusion. Bethe's work explained the energy generation in stars like our Sun and earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1967. He was also involved in the Manhattan Project during World War II, helping develop the atomic bomb. Later in life, he became an advocate for nuclear disarmament, emphasizing the importance of using science for peace.
