Here, he intensified research in this area as head of the Energy Division ; later on he succeeded Ernst Ulrich von Weizsäcker as president.

The contents of her work in this time, including a focus on a distinction of predictability and causality, are known from three of her own publications, and from later description of their discussions by von Weizsäcker, and the discussion of Hermann's work in chapter ten of Heisenberg's The Part and The Whole.

This discovery should not be confused with his later development of the Bethe – Weizsäcker formula, or Semi-Empirical Mass Formula ( SEMF ), a theoretical formula relating the curve of nuclear binding energy, nuclear masses, and certain other nuclear properties.

Weizsäcker worked later during the war as a professor in Strasbourg.

" Similar representations were repeated by Weizsäcker to Monsignore Giovanni Battista Montini ( the later Pope Paul VI ).

Heisenberg's contemporaneous letters to his wife and later correspondence with Jungk place the private conversation on Wednesday evening during a walk at Bohr's house away from Weizsäcker.

That Supek stated that Margrethe believed that Weizsäcker was present and that Bohr recalled this private meeting as taking place " in my room at the Institute ", where Heisenberg and Weizsäcker had made their public statements may suggest that Bohr blurred two events and did not distinguish between the public statements Heisenberg made and the private message Heisenberg hoped to convey to Bohr later that evening at Bohr's house.

On 6 November, al-Husseini arrived in Berlin, where he discussed the text of his declaration with Ernst von Weizsäcker and other German officials.

On August 19, 1938, Weizsäcker wrote a memo to the Foreign Minister, Joachim von Ribbentrop stating: " I again opposed the whole theory of ( an attack on Czechoslovakia ) and observed that we should have to wait political developments until the English lose interest in the Czech matter and would tolerate our action, before we could tackle the affair without risk ".

At midnight on 3 October 1990, during the official festivities held before the Reichstag building in Berlin to mark the moment of the reunification of Germany, President Weizsäcker delivered the only speech of the night, immediately after the raising of the flag, and before the playing of the National Anthem.

Several post-Heideggerian authors contributing to the Continental philosophy of science in the second half of the 20th century include Jürgen Habermas ( e. g., " Truth and Justification ", 1998 ), Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker (" The Unity of Nature ", 1980 ), and Wolfgang Stegmüller (" Probleme und Resultate der Wissenschafttheorie und Analytischen Philosophie ", 1973 – 1986 ).

According to others, the first sign of a Soviet-German political détente was the conversation between Soviet ambassador Aleksey Merekalov and Ernst von Weizsäcker, State Secretary in the German Foreign Ministry, on April 17, 1939, when the former hinted at possible improvement of the relations.

Original sources about this question were not revealed until 1993, when transcripts of secretly recorded conversations among ten top German physicists, including Heisenberg and Weizsäcker, detained under Operation Epsilon at Farm Hall, near Cambridge in late 1945, were published.

The second was Ernst von Weizsäcker, who testified that Raeder had not been involved in the propaganda effort to blame the sinking of the Athenia on the British.

Baron Ernst von Weizsäcker, ( the State Secretary 1938 – 1943 ) opposed the general trend in German foreign policy towards attacking Czechoslovakia: he feared that it might cause a general war that Germany would lose.

But despite all of their reservations and fears about Ribbentrop — whom they saw as recklessly seeking to plunge Germany into a general war before the Reich was ready — neither Weizsäcker nor any of the other professional diplomats were prepared to confront their chief.

Anti Polish feelings had long been rampant in the agency, and so in marked contrast to their cool attitude about attacking Czechoslovakia in 1938, diplomats like Weizsäcker were highly enthusiastic about the prospect of war with Poland in 1939.

Professional diplomats like Weizsäcker who had never accepted the legitimacy of Poland, which they saw as an " abomination " created by the Versailles treaty, were whole-hearted in their support of a war to wipe Poland off the map.

Weizsäcker recorded in his diary throughout the spring and summer of 1939 repeated statements from Hitler that any German-Polish war would be only a localized conflict and provided that the Soviet Union could be persuaded to stay neutral, there was no danger of a general war.

Ribbentrop who considered taking declarations of war from such small states as Costa Rica and Ecuador to be deeply humiliating refused to see any of the Latin American ambassadors and instead had Weizsäcker take the Latin declarations of war.

During the 1938 crisis over Czechoslovakia that culminated in the Munich Agreement, Canaris was together with the army chief of staff, General Ludwig Beck and the Foreign Office ’ s state secretary Ernst von Weizsäcker, a leader of the " anti-war " group in the German government, which was determined to avoid a war in 1938 that it felt Germany would lose.

" Only by " divine grace ", Weizsäcker said, were they spared the temptation to build the bomb-grace, as the German war economy was unable to mobilize the necessary resources.

In 1938, Weizsäcker was opposed to the general trend in German foreign policy of attacking Czechoslovakia out of the fear that it might cause a general war that Germany would lose ; Weizsäcker had no moral objections to the idea of destroying Czechoslovakia and was only opposed to the timing of the attack.

Through Weizsäcker had some contacts with members of the German opposition, during his interrogations after the war, he never claimed to be a member of the resistance.

Together with the Abwehr chief, Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, and the Army Chief of Staff, General Ludwig Beck, Weizsäcker was a leader of the " anti-war " group in the German government, which was determined to avoid a war in 1938 that it felt Germany would lose.

After the German defeat in the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943 and the changing German war fortunes, and following his own request, Weizsäcker resigned as State Secretary and was appointed German Ambassador to the Holy See from 1943 to 1945.

Before the Anglo-German summit at Berchtesgaden on 15 September 1938, Henderson and Weizsäcker worked out a private arrangement that Hitler and Chamberlain were to meet with no advisers present as a way of excluding the ultra-hawkish Ribbentrop from attending the talks.

Yet at one point during trial, a U. S. Army interpreter asked Baron Ernst von Weizsäcker how Hitler could have made him a high official.

Weizsäcker responded " Hitler never noticed Ribbentrop's babbling because Hitler always did all the talking.

A modern report in the Italian newspaper Avvenire in 2005 suggested that Hitler ordered Wolff to kidnap Pope Pius XII, but in collaboration with Germany's Vatican diplomat Ernst von Weizsäcker, he refused.

Like the commanding Waffen SS General Karl Wolff, Weizsäcker was clearly opposed to Hitler ’ s plan to occupy the Vatican, during which, Weizsäcker feared, the Pope could have been shot, " fleeing while avoiding arrest "

The CNO-I process was independently proposed by Carl von Weizsäcker and Hans Bethe in 1938 and 1939, respectively.

The first proposed catalytic cycle for the conversion of hydrogen into helium was at first simply called the carbon – nitrogen cycle ( CN cycle ), also honorarily referred to as the Bethe – Weizsäcker cycle, because it does not involve a stable isotope of oxygen.

Ribbentrop's first move as Foreign Minister was to sack Mackensen ( who, as Neurath's son-in-law, was totally unacceptable to him ) as State Secretary and replace him with Baron Ernst von Weizsäcker, a former naval officer turned career diplomat who joined the Foreign Office in 1920.

Weizsäcker had no moral objections to the idea of destroying Czechoslovakia ; he was only opposed to the timing of the attack.

The Foreign Office was to be represented by an undersecretary, since Heydrich suspected that State Secretary Weizsäcker was not fully aligned with the objectives of the regime.

The second process, the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle, which was also considered by Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker in 1938, is most important in more massive stars.

He was succeeded by Richard von Weizsäcker.

In 1925, he co-founded a journal, Die Kreatur ( The Creature ), which was edited by Wittig, Martin Buber, and Viktor von Weizsäcker, men of widely different perspectives, and which lasted until 1930.
