hearing about the destruction of the Trinity test, many scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project lost enthusiasm. They realized the amount of devastation that the bomb they created would bring if used as a weapon. Many scientists fought against the production of more atomic bombs.

The Manhattan Project “I am become death, the shatterer of worlds” remembered Robert Oppenheimer as he witnessed the spectacular explosion.

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…
