Along withEnrico Fermi, he is often called the "father of the atomic bomb" for his role in the Manhattan Project, the World War II project that developed the first nuclear weapons. The first thermonuclear ("hydrogen") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 10,000,000 tons of TNT.

The first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945, in the Trinity test in New Mexico; Oppenheimer remarked later that it brought to mind words from the Bhagavad Gita: 

"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of 

worlds." 

The joint work of the scientists at Los Alamos resulted in the first nuclear explosion near Alamogordo on July 16, 1945, the site of which Oppenheimer named "Trinity". 
Oppenheimer later recalled that while witnessing the explosion he thought of a verse from the Hindu holy book, the Bhagavad Gita:
“ If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one "

Oppenheimer later would be persuaded to quote again in 1965 for a television broadcast:

“ We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another. 

G.K. Chesterton, when responding to the question "What's wrong with the world today?" He wrote in the following.

Dear Sirs,

I am.

Sincerely yours,
G. K. Chesterton

Man will eventually destroy man. Charles Darwin said one thing that bothered him most about his theory is that, if nature was read in tooth and claw as he had seen it to be. Then the very ascendancy of the evolutionary product that we now had, had survived by way of violence and by way of aggression and didn't know what was going to stop us from continuing it.

Something to think about...

Just My Thoughts!

[“Kaalo –asmi loka-kshaya-krith pravrudho

Lokaan-samaaharthum-iha pravruthaha”

(I am the destroyer of the worlds. I engage in destroying the worlds ) (Chapter 11:32)

Oppenheimer spoke these words in the television documentary The 

Decision to Drop the Bomb (1965). In the literature, the quote normally

 

appears in the form shatterer of worlds, because this was the form in 

which it first appeared in print, in Time magazine on November 8, 1948. 

It later appeared in Robert Jungk's Brighter than a Thousand Suns: A 

Personal History of the Atomic Scientists (1958), which was based on an

 interview with Oppenheimer.

THAT IS HOW HE TRIED TO ABSOLVE HIMSELF OF THE DELIBERATE INVENTION FULLY KNOWING THE CONSEQUENCES OF COLOSSAL DESTRUCTION, THAT IT CAN HAVE. (interpretations can be dangerous and cause delusions and self-deception.)

Only two nuclear weapons (0n 6 August 1945 & 9 August, 1945) have been used in the course of warfare, both by the United States near the end of World War II. These two bombings resulted in the deaths of approximately 200,000 Japanese people—mostly civilians—from acute injuries sustained from the explosions. The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender, and their ethical status, remain the subject of scholarly and popular debate.

The Federation of American Scientists estimates there are more than 19,000 nuclear warheads in the world as of 2012, with around 4,400 of them kept in "operational" status, ready for use.
