Those arguments had validity, but with hindsight, it was very wise to take on that \u0022fool\u0027s errand.\u0022 This talk proposes that \u0022tilting at windmills\u0022 might be applied to taking on the problems associated with nuclear deterrence.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMartin E. Hellman is Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. His effort to \u0022Defuse the Nuclear Threat,\u0022 (see NuclearRisk.org) includes applying quantitative risk analysis to a potential failure of nuclear deterrence. Dr. Hellman was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame for co-inventing public key cryptography, a technology which secures literally trillions of dollars in financial transactions every day. His honors include election to the National Academy of Engineering, Fellow of the IEEE, Marconi International Fellow, the IEEE Hamming Medal, and being named one of only 23 Stanford Engineering Heroes thus far.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ECo-sponsored by: Daisy Alliance, Georgia Tech\u0027s Sam Nunn School of International Affairs (INTA), the Center for International Strategy,Technology, and Policy (CISTP), Nuclear \u0026amp; Radiological Engineering Program (NRE), and the General Ray Davis Memorial Fund.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":"","uid":"27866","created_gmt":"2013-10-18 08:12:28","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:15:09","author":"Ava Roth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2013-10-18T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2013-10-18T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"246981":{"id":"246981","type":"image","title":"The Wisdom of Foolishness: Taking on Nuclear Deterrence, Martin Hellman","body":null,"created":"1449243758","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 15:42:38","changed":"1475894924","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:48:44","alt":"The Wisdom of Foolishness: Taking on Nuclear Deterrence, Martin Hellman","file":{"fid":"198016","name":"hellman_0.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/hellman_0.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/hellman_0.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":4481,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/hellman_0.jpg?itok=d-_bggBb"}},"197161":{"id":"197161","type":"image","title":"Martin Hellman","body":null,"created":"1449179906","gmt_created":"2015-12-03 21:58:26","changed":"1475894848","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:47:28","alt":"Martin Hellman","file":{"fid":"196453","name":"hellman.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/hellman_1.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/hellman_1.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":683324,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/hellman_1.jpg?itok=ssnOd1ju"}}},"media_ids":["246981","197161"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cLbBSMM3hQs#t=14","title":"The Wisdom of Foolishness: Taking on Nuclear Deterrence, Martin Hellman"}],"groups":[{"id":"1285","name":"Sam Nunn School of International Affairs"}],"categories":[{"id":"133","name":"Special Events and Guest Speakers"}],"keywords":[{"id":"77391","name":"Martin Hellman"},{"id":"77401","name":"Nuclear Detterence"},{"id":"4032","name":"Nuclear Weapons"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":["fariah@gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
