and the everlasting impact of the atomic bombings. In Japan‚ "hibakusha" means "the people affected by the explosion." The devastation left by the atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima served as a reminder of the damage that it can do. The Manhattan Project began the development and research of nuclear weaponry. The dual bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki forced Japan to surrender to the Allies on August 15‚ 1945‚ unwillingly. The nuclear bombs altered the lives of numerous Japanese civilians medically

“Now I am become Death‚ the destroyer of worlds’?” These were the word that Mr. Robert Oppenheimer used after the Manhattan Project was successful. Mr. Oppenheimer was one the scientist who help create the nuclear bomb that was later‚ dropped on Hiroshima. The bomb name was “Little Boy” which help end World War II. So‚ I believe that it was necessary to drop the bomb on Hiroshima because the war was still going strong and Japan wasn’t showing no sign of surrender. The war was costing a lot of American

Albert Einstein once said‚ “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought‚ but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones[‚]”(Brainyquote). Given that Albert Einstein worked on the Manhattan Project he knew what he was saying. Especially since he knew the destructive force of the weapon he helped create. Although it was not the first‚ the atomic bomb was a weapon that the world had never seen before. With the ability to wipe out an area in seconds and leave that said area in shambles

Born on April 22‚ 1904‚ J. Robert Oppenheimer was an American theoretical physicist and professor for the University of California at Berkeley. During WWII‚ he was appointed as the head of the Los Alamos Laboratory where he played a crucial role in the development of the atomic bomb and gained the nickname "The Father of the Atomic Bomb". After the war‚ he was appointed the chairman of the General Advisory Energy Commission and served as a prominent voice on the use of nuclear weaponry until passed

I didn’t think much of it at the time but then it was explained to me what I was doing and I was told about the Manhattan Project and learnt about Atomic Bombs. I was assigned to command the project at Wendover Army Air Field in Utah. At the start I was unfamiliar with the concept of an Atomic Bomb and I honestly had no idea what it was capable of. I got annoyed with the fact that everything that we were

Patrick Blackett is known as the father of operational research and most of his work was done in and around Britain during the WWII era. During the years of 1940 to 1945‚ Blackett participated in many projects to aid the allied members in combating the axis powers. Some of his projects included creating the air-defense grid for Britain‚ improving ship convoy strategies‚ improvements to vehicle armor plating‚ as well as many other works. He was responsible for beginning the work that ultimately led

ALBERT EINSTEIN and the ATOMIC BOMB The physicist Albert Einstein did not directly participate in the invention of the atomic bomb. But as we shall see‚ he was instrumental in facilitating its development. In 1905‚ as part of his Special Theory of Relativity‚ he made the intriguing point that a large amount of energy could be released from a small amount of matter. This was expressed by the equation E=mc2 (energy = mass times the speed of light squared). The atomic bomb would clearly illustrate
