I heard an interesting nugget today, something called the
bethe-feynman equation related to the manhattan project.
saw a video where Hans Bethe comments on this still being a secret
anybody got some info on what this is?

This formula tells you how much PUDDI you can eat before you get diarrhea, this can be used to maximise your PUDDI consumption while keeping your toilet paper consumption as smal las possible

I could just wash my ass instead of using toilet paper.

It is a formula for calculating the (probably approximate) yield of a fission bomb.

This was on Google. It may be relevant, but fuck me if I'm actually going to read it and check.

interesting that it is "classified" tho

The Atomic Energy Act of 1946 automatically classifies most information relating to nuclear weapons, apparently.

So the Bethe-Feynman equation is probably not a super amazing top secret, its just that no one's bothered to specifically declassify it.
