Lise Meitner: The Physicist Who Unraveled Nuclear Fission! (1878–1968) – Her Untold Legacy

Lise Meitner: The Physicist Who Unraveled Nuclear Fission! (1878–1968) – Her Untold Legacy Welcome to History with BMResearch, where today’s story shines a long-overdue light on a remarkable mind—Lise Meitner. Often overshadowed by Otto Hahn, she played the pivotal role in explaining nuclear fission, shaping modern physics history. From early academic battles as a female physicist in Vienna to groundbreaking discoveries in radioactive decay, Meitner’s journey spans science, courage, and exile. She contributed key theoretical insights while in Stockholm, even as Hahn received solo credit and the Nobel Prize. Her work paralleled figures like Einstein and Max Planck, and inspired generations of women in science. We explore her collaboration, ethics, and eventual legacy—immortalized in element meitnerium. This is a powerful narrative of scientific discovery, moral responsibility, and the injustice of forgotten heroes. 0:00 - Introduction to Lise Meitner’s untold legacy 7:43 - Early life and education in Vienna 15:26 - Moving to Berlin and collaboration with Max Planck 23:09 - Partnership with Otto Hahn and early nuclear research 30:52 - Struggles and progress during World War I 38:35 - Breakthroughs in atomic structure and radioactivity 46:18 - Rise of Nazism and Meitner’s escape from Germany 54:01 - Discovery of nuclear fission and exile in Sweden 1:01:44 - Meitner’s role in explaining nuclear fission 1:09:27 - Ethics of nuclear energy and aftermath of World War II 1:17:10 - Lise Meitner’s later life and advocacy for peace 1:24:53 - Correcting the historical record of Meitner’s contributions 1:32:36 - Honors, recognition, and lasting scientific impact 1:40:19 - Legacy of Lise Meitner: Science with humanity SOURCES Frisch, O.
