The documentary starts off with the testing of the first Atomic Bomb in Los Alamos, New Mexico on July 14th, 1945. The weapon was originally intended for use against the Germans but since there surrender in early June the bomb has been reassigned for use against Japan as a way to avoided island hopping a full-scale invasion. The bomb was a part of the famous Manhattan project and cost 3 years and 2 million dollars to build. At the test in Los Alamos, it vaporized the tower it was dropped from,…

The Manhattan Project “I am become death, the shatterer of worlds” remembered Robert Oppenheimer as he witnessed the spectacular explosion. The Manhattan Project had created several problems that impacted not just Japan and the U.S., but the whole world. Although the Manhattan Project may have ended WWII, it caused mass destruction, gave other countries the desire to create more powerful weapons of mass destruction, and was morally wrong. In 1938, three chemists in Berlin had made a huge…

I am Avery Anthony, a scientist at Ex Machina Labs, super human testing. You're probably wondering what happened, i’ll tell you. I was fascinated by the the dragonfly so I started to test it on NOV. 26 2023. 1:16 am. I removed the DNA for a dragonfly and dropped it onto a fire ant. wings in 6 hours 47 minutes, it flew around the room for 2 hours 35 minutes before it died due to overdose. The next day. As I wrote down notes, I tipped the DNA on my foot. It began to form my new body. That is why…

The book I read was The Green Glass Sea by Ellen Klages. It was published by Penguin Group in 2006. There are 318 pages of the story, and it is set from 1943 to 1945 during WWII. Although The Green Glass Sea is a fictional book, the setting and historical events are not. All of the main characters and their friends/family are fictional. This is a book about two girls who move to an army base with their parents during the war. They don't know each other at first, but they know of each other. It…

Robert J. Oppenheimer once said, "Now I am become death, destroyer of worlds," after the first test of the atomic bomb. There are many important things that made the atomic bomb possible like: what kind of science went into it, the people who built it, other bombs compared to it, and the making of the bomb. Ever since the atomic bomb was built, it changed the way wars were fought. Albert Einstein wrote to President Roosevelt asking for an atomic research program, Roosevelt agreed to move…

Science and technology two things that developed how we live today. From 1921-1957 some of the most important science and technologies were invented, the atomic bomb, Cars, and the Arms race with Russia that started with the space race. The atomic bombs were what helped the economy by ending the war early with Japan, ending things early saved many lives of Americans and the Japanese. Even though America had defeated Japan, we were still in the Space race or more of an arms race with Russia,…

Julius Robert Oppenheimer was a key part of the Manhattan project which created the atomic bomb. As well as a physicist, scientist, engineer and Academic. He was involved in politics before and after the invention of the atomic bomb. Where before it he supported the bomb’s invention after he denounced his creation. Julius Robert Oppenheimer was born April 22, 1904 in New York City. Born into a German Jewish immigrant family, Oppenheimer went to Harvard University later traveling to England where…

A traditional computer simply executes a sequence of commands in a single order - like oxen plowing a field. But, according to Blaise Barney of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, parallel computing works by partitioning a problem into multiple tasks which can be done at the same time. For example, your graphics processor may render each section of the screen separately or a signal processing program might apply multiple…

We see that communication and collaboration fueled the success of the project. However; there was an intentional censorship in communication between the military and government superiors and the Los Alamos laboratory so that the atomic development could be kept as a secret. This led to the most devastating ethical tragedy of the twentieth century. Many people expressed their disagreement with the use of atomic weapons. For example, some people decided to quit…

I think I’m a pretty easygoing and friendly person and I think living here in Los Alamos has made me that way. Growing up in a small town has given me a view that I couldn’t get from living in a big city. I live in Los Alamos New Mexico. One of the first things people notice when they get here is how dry the air is. Up here at 7,300 feet, there is virtually no humidity. We get a little bit when it rains but that doesn’t count. I was born and raised here and I like the dry air. When you breathe…
