Pencil sketch of a German scientist under Paperclip Program

FREIDWART WINTERBERG



 A distinguished scientist of Germany in physics and at the end of WW II he was just 16 years. When he grew up he went to USA under paperclip program as a scientist and served there. 
Degrees
Ph.D., Physics 1955 Max Planck Institute, Goettingen, Germany (Adv: Prof. W. Heisenberg)
M.S., Physics 1953 University of Frankfurt, Germany (Adv: Prof. F. Hund)
Professional Experience
1968-Present Professor of physics, University of Nevada Reno
1966 Tenure
1963-1968 Associate professor of of physics, University of Nevada, Reno
1959-1963 Assistant professor of physics, Case Institute of Technology, Cleveland, Ohio
1955-1959 Group leader theoretical physics division at nuclear research reactor in Hamburg, Germany, under President Eisenhower's "Atoms for Peace" program
Professional Awards and Accomplishments
Honorary member of German Aero-Space Society Lilienthal-Oberth.
Elected member International Academy of Astronautics, Paris, France.
Member of American Physical Society.
Recipient of the 1979 Hermann Oberth Gold Medal (the highest award in astronautical research given for his work on nuclear rocket propulsion).
At 26 years of age in 1955, laid the foundation for GPS system, proposing to put atomic clocks into artificial satellites, the only practical application of Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Under the Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 68, Dr. Winterberg's special achievements in the field of high energy physics, which have brought distinction to the state, and the university, were acknowledged. He was especially commended for his work on the concept of magnetic insulation in the production of ion beams and its contribution to the effort to find solutions for crucial national problems of energy production and defense.
Dr. Winterberg obtained his Ph.D. under Dr. Werner Heisenberg, and is listed as one of the four notable students of Werner Heisenberg on Heisenberg's 'Wikipedia entry, along with Felix Bloch, Edward Teller and Rudolph E. Peierls.
His thermonuclear microexplosion ignition concept was adopted by the British Interplanetary Society for their Daedalus Starship Study.
With his novel fusion concept using two Marx generators, he hopes to reduce the cost for thermonuclear ignition thousand fold, opening the prospect for abundant clean nuclear energy.
His view on the state of fundamental physics research is presented in a lecture at the Imperial College in London, in September 2004, with the title: "The Einstein Myth and The Crisis In Modern Physics."
About the origin of the general Theory of Relativity: On "Belated Decision in the Hilbert-Einstein Priority Dispute," published by L. Corry, J. Renn, and J. Stachel. Z. Naturforsch. 59a, 715-719 (2004), by Professor Winterberg.
Conjectured Transient Release Of Zero Point Vacuum Energy In Powerful Electric Discharges
Dr. Winterberg has achieved notable distinction with hundreds of internet references and entries on his behalf.
