Oppenheimer and the threat of nuclear destruction FMTNews FMTEng
As I left the cinema hall after watching the well-made Oppenheimer, I wondered what the Japanese would think of the Christopher Nolan movie. I particularly wondered how survivors of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki would feel.
No wonder Oppenheimer – in real life and in the movie – thought as the test bomb was successfully exploded in the American desert “…I am become death, the destroyer of worlds” which he attributed to the Bhagavad Gita The report said Taiji needed to take 23 different medications for the eight diseases he had, including cancer.
There are about 13,000 nuclear weapons with nine countries – the US, Russia, France, China, the United Kingdom, Pakistan, India, Israel and North Korea. China is believed to have about 350 nuclear warheads, including more than 100 which are assigned to missiles that could reach the US. North Korea, the union says, “has enough nuclear material for 30 to 40 nuclear warheads, and may have assembled 10 to 20 weapons”.
If you want to have an idea of the possible impact of a nuclear conflict between Russia and the US, check out the video of a scientifically realistic simulation produced by Max Tegmark, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.illustrates, it doesn’t matter much who starts the war: when one side launches nuclear missiles, the other side detects them and fires back before impact.
