Good essay.

The sentence beginning with 'It is – in my opinion – almost certainly to do with the proximity' and ending in 'the better known ‘Uranverein’ programme run by Werner Heisenberg. (8)' is a bit of a mess.

True. Sometimes the revisions get me.

Understandable. It just was hard to follow. I got the gist, but I thought you might want to take a look at it.

"I should point out that there are definite problems with attributing the invention solely to Touschek’s jewish ancestry rather than his Austrian/German ancestry."

That kind of talk will get you banned from polite society as it is obviously antisemitic. In judaism a jew can steal from a goy even if that jew and goy are of the same body!

Just a bit of judaic thinking I've had to allow myself to use in order to comprehend "the jew".
