“I am become death, the destroyer of worlds,” Robert J. Oppenheimer once quoted after witnessing the successful first test of the atomic bomb (Brainyquote). What is the atomic bomb? The atomic bomb’s formula was created by a rather surprising force during World War II. Today, numerous nations still use and even improve the atomic bomb. Plus, the future with atomic bombs will be a positive one, although there may be some bumps down in the future. The atomic bomb has a completely different origin than some may think, is being improved on today and will continue to be used into the future. The atomic bomb, commonly referred to as nuclear bomb, is a high energy blast bomb that is powered by splitting uranium atoms, in which creates energy similar to a thousand suns at the blast area. The

After the atomic bombings on Japan, more countries began to develop their own atomic weapons such as the Soviet Union, present day Russia, China, France and a handful more. The United States has kept building upon the foundation of their first two bombs dropped on Japan in order for atomic bombs to become smaller, but deadlier. For instance, the United States has made bombs that can be attached to missiles as a delivery system, such as the W-88. Speaking about missiles, the most common missile is the Minuteman III missile. Developed by Boeing in the late fifties, this atomic weapon delivery system can deliver an atomic warhead to a target thousands of miles away reliably and quickly (Boeing). Also today, a handful of nations have used the formula of the power of the atom in order to power entire cities with clean energy, to an extent. Unfortunately, though, atomic weapons detonated in the upper atmosphere can damage any electronics up to various distances (U.S. Department of Energy). Atomic weapons have come along way within the past seventy years, but what does the future hold for
