Instead of a thousand suns. The history of the nuclear bomb told by its creators

We knew that the world would no longer be the same. Several people laughed, several people cried. Most were silent. I remembered the line from the sacred book of Hinduism, Bhagavadgita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the prince that he must fulfill his duty, and in order to impress him, he accepts his many -armed guise and says: “I am death, the great destroyer of the worlds...”

these words Robert Oppenheimer uttered after How nuclear bombs erased from the face of the earth to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Two bombs that received the names “baby” and “fat man” were the result of the long work of the “Manhattan project”. A group of the best scientists in the world under the leadership of Robert Oppenheimer for several years worked on the creation of the most powerful and dangerous weapons in the world. Articles devoted to work as part of the Manhattan Project, and compiled a book that you are holding in your hands.
