    Ernest Rutherford’s model of the atom suggested the atom had a small, compact nucleus surrounded by a cloud of almost weightless electrons. Bohr proposed adding to the model the new idea of quanta put forth by Max Planck in 1901. That way, electrons existed in set levels of energy, that is, at set distances from the nucleus. His model was a huge leap forward in making theory fit experimental evidence that other physicists had found over time.…

    Military use of atomic energy was an interest to foreign physicists living in the United States, who included Enrico Fermi, Leo Szilard, Eugene Wigner, Edward Teller, and Victor Weisskopf. All of these physicists knew that any German breakthrough or research on nuclear weapons at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in Berlin would be a problem not only for their homeland but, for millions of people around the globe. Germany, however, despite its advanced weapons couldn't manage to build an atomic bomb. The German nuclear weapon project, or “Uranium Club” was led by Werner Heisenberg, a German physicist. The project, however, had several flaws, including a lack of government support and understanding of how to build an atomic bomb.…

Robert Oppenheimer such as the Manhattan Project, the atomic bomb, and the ending of World War II, were the most significant. Oppenheimer was born into a well educated family in the heart of New York City (Scherer and Fletcher, 20). He became a physicist, following a path through quantum mechanics and when the time came, the leader of the Manhattan Project.…

    On August 6th, 1945, the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. The United States dropped the bomb as their last resort to defeat Japan and end the war, but what they did not expect was the horrors of the aftermath and the ongoing 71 year long debate about the ethics of nuclear weapons. We started out as the only country that had a few nuclear weapons, although it is unknown how many the United States actually had in 1945, which quickly escalated to nine countries owning over 15,000 nuclear weapons combined. The United States is right behind Russia, who has about 7,300, with 6,970. With that many nukes, just in this country alone, there is a strong possibility of the end of the world occurring, not in the form of alien invasions or catastrophic natural disasters as…
