Nuclear energy... 💡
“Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds. ”
- Robert Oppenheimer
Full text of video: We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. 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.
Here you can find more about history of this famous Oppenheimer's sentence.. Link
Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon. It was conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project. Main cheaf of this project was Robert Oppenheimer..
Why did I choose such dramatic words from the father of the first atomic bomb to introduce the topic of nuclear energy? To realize that actions can never be undone and we, like humanity, have full responsibility for them. Unfortunately, I somehow miss this responsibility in the world of the powerful. Just look at the look on Robert's distressed face.
We have partially mastered the power of the core, but we have to realize what responsibility means... It is nuclear energy that can help us solve various global crises, for example in the energy sector, the economy or the environment.
Here I will gradually add articles dedicated to this topic. So feel free to write whatever you like about it, I'd love to see articles about the positive uses of nuclear energy.
Please have a conversation with respect for different opinions... 🙏
