Just before daybreak on July 16th 1945 Enrico Fermi __________1 (layed down) in the open desert of New Mexico. At 05:30, the world’s first nuclear explosion __________2 (taking into account) ten miles (16km) away. He __________3 (counted off) the seconds after the flash, anticipating the arrival of the blast-wave. With preternatural calm, Fermi stood up and let some strips of paper __________4 (flutter into) as the wave passed. They flew about eight feet. The Trinity nuclear test, he __________5 (pronounced after)making some quick calculations, had released the equivalent of about 10 kilotonnes of TNT.
Fermi was, by that stage, already a celebrity among physicists. An obvious mathematics __________6 (genesis) as a child in Italy, he had devoured texts written for adults. Throughout his life he kept few books, preferring to derive conclusions from first principles whenever he felt the need.
As he took up different posts in academic research in Italy and abroad, Fermi showed himself to be not only a theorist with __________ 7 (uncoordinated intellect) but also adept as an experimentalist (a rare combination) across every kind of physics. He had an uncanny knack for rough-and-ready calculations __________8 (for creating) approximate answers for damnably difficult questions (the Trinity bomb, later analysis revealed, released 18 kilotonnes of TNT, which was surprisingly close to Fermi’s desert estimation).
He __________9 (pestered) complexity, preferring to tackle only a problem’s essentials, discard any distracting elements and ruthlessly squeeze what remained. Such back-of-the-envelope calculations, which became known as “Fermi problems”, were such good examples of critical thinking that recruiters nowadays test applicants’ mettle by setting them as interview questions. Fermi’s solutions were so __________10 (drastically erroneous) that his colleagues in Rome called him “the pope”. His boss recognised that he could help raise the reputation of Italian science.
