Edward Teller/Ivy Mike

Edward Teller is a Nuker-class pseudo spirit.

History
Teller left Hungary in 1926, partly due to the discriminatory numerus clausus rule under Miklós Horthy's regime. The political climate and revolutions in Hungary during his youth instilled a lingering animosity for both Communism and Fascism in Teller. When he was a young student, his right foot was severed in a streetcar accident in Munich, requiring him to wear a prosthetic foot, and leaving him with a lifelong limp. Werner Heisenberg said that it was the hardiness of Teller's spirit, rather than stoicism, that allowed him to cope so well with the accident.

Teller graduated in chemical engineering at the University of Karlsruhe, and received in 1930 his Ph.D. in physics under Werner Heisenberg at the University of Leipzig. Teller's dissertation dealt with one of the first accurate quantum mechanical treatments of the hydrogen molecular ion. In 1930 he befriended Russian physicists George Gamow and Lev Landau. Teller's lifelong friendship with a Czech physicist, George Placzek, was also very important for his scientific and philosophical development. It was Placzek who arranged a summer stay in Rome with Enrico Fermi in 1932, thus orienting Teller's scientific career in nuclear physics.

In 1930, Teller moved to the University of Göttingen, then one of the world's great centers of physics due to the presence of Max Born and James Franck,[12] but after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in January 1933, Germany became unsafe for Jewish people, and he left through the aid of the International Rescue Committee. He went briefly to England, and moved for a year to Copenhagen, where he worked under Niels Bohr. In February 1934, he married his long-time girlfriend Augusta Maria "Mici" (pronounced "Mitzi") Harkanyi, the sister of a friend. He returned to England in September 1934.

Personality
Nuker is known for his volatile personality. He is known for his controversial and technology solutions to life. Like Einstein and Feynman, he was a late talker.

Role in the series
Nuker is a Pseudo-Spirit possessed in the body of a transgender boy. Unlike Oppenheimer, he remains the boy's hair. He was quiet the whole time and is only active when working on electronical machines while Oppenheimer presents in the body. He shows no signs of dysphoria and thought of them as useless.

Nuker is revealed on Rob Oppenheimer's flashback.

He treats people as they were younger than him.

Relationships
Werner Heisenberg - "He was my teacher. He was the reason why I got into theorical physics."

Rob Oppenheimer - "Please don't say his name in front of me"

Enrico Fermi - "I discuss problems with him"

Richard Feynman - "People thought of him as a good scholar and a tutor and his stories are good to listen. A great author as well. Sad he couldn't live that long"
