worked out the steps in between afterward. Bethe's solid technical prowess and Feynman's brilliant insights combined well when they both worked at Los Alamos on the atomic bomb. They would go down the hallway with Feynman loudly countering the patient but persistent Bethe, and their colleagues labeled th

ortant experiments, using simple approaches that yielded immediate results. After an "involuntary vacation" of five years, as a prisoner of war in Siberia during the First World War, Bothe returned and built a remark- able collaboration with Geiger, eventually succeeding him as director of the laborato
