J. Robert Oppenheimer

Tuesday 23rd of April 2024

 
Nukes I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.  J. Robert Oppenheimer, reflecting on the Trinity Test, the first detonation of a nuclear weapon, on July 16, 1945, at 5:29 AM  © 2017 Kwiple.com
