The Invisible Characters: George Gamow
Posted: Sat Jun 24, 2023 5:12 pm
From what I read of Russian born physicist George Gamow, he would have been described by his peers as a "real card". meaning a cut-up and pranksters. But he was also quite brilliant, solving the theory of alpha particle decay with quantum tunneling by the age of 24. He fled Russia shortly afterward and took up a teaching position at George Washington University, in DC.
We know of his WW connection with Townsend only through a surviving photograph of him with Townsend and Jo on the banks of the Potomoc.
I did not know that he was Russian born Jacques Bergier's uncle until I found this message from "Twigsnapper" in the old forum:
I am just going to leave Gamow, here, for now, for other brains to play with.

I know this is all very confusing but there are golden threads just lying there waiting to be picked up. You can do this but take the stress away from the search. That golden thread will reach up and put itself into your hands. Just relax a little.
Here is an odd connection. I place into your hands. An uncle of Jacques Bergier. Notice the words that jump out at you." Quantum Tunneling?" There was another Russian speaking fellow that told you about this I think. A certain red haired lad. ( well, used to be) Try this. There will be other connections. Relax ( but pay attention! <g>) twigsnapper
