Chilling 3D Animation Shows How Oppenheimer Atomic Bomb Actually Works And Why It Was Disastrous
Julius Robert Oppenheimer, the man behind the first ever atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, himself fought to eliminate the production of nuclear weapons that could cause massive death and destruction and eventually lead to the end of the world. He wasn't at peace even when he was working on the Manhattan Project but found solace in Bhagavad Gita.?
How does the bomb created by?Oppenheimer actually works??
3D animation shows how the bomb which looks smaller than an SUV killed tens of thousands of people.
If you have watched Oppenheimer, movie starring Cillian Murphy, you would know about Little Boy and Fat Man. Little Boy was the first bomb dropped on?Hiroshima on 6 August. Later, on 9 August, another atomic bomb called Fat Man was dropped onto the city of Nagasaki. As a result, Japan surrendered to the Allies six days later. How did the bombs cause so much destruction?
This 3D animation shows the science behind the objects that cause massive destruction and death.?
The video shows how the firing switch activates after it reaches a certain height and then a bomb is dropped. This ignites the three naby gun primers in the breech plug, which sets off the charge consisting of four silk powder bags that contain 0.9 kgs of cordite, firing the uranium projectile at a speed of 300 metres per second.
The uranium hits more uranium that is stored at the front side and comes together with polonium initiators to create nuclear fission, which within seconds causes a staggering explosion.?
Christopher Nolan recently said that although Oppenheimer was an eloquent and careful speaker, he never apologised for the bombings of Japan. "It¡¯s this contradiction that I find truly fascinating. In a way, you can say he was ahead of his time; he may have been naive about how much he could stand up to the establishment, but many of his predictions and beliefs have proven to be true and continue to be validated.?
"They did foresee a lot of the consequences, they knew what they were doing, but they felt they had no choice. The Nazis are trying to make a nuclear bomb, think of the consequences of that. They really felt they had no choice, and that¡¯s what makes it dramatic."
