This date marks the 78th Anniversary of the Atomic Bomb over Hiroshima. [View all]
The invention of Physicist J Robert Oppenheimer made history the world had never seen. On August 6, 1945, the first of 2 Atomic bombs were dropped over Japan that brought WWII to an end.
On Friday, I went to see the encompassing and compelling film, 'Oppenheimer', that told the story of the Atomic bomb and its inventor. What struck me the most was the morality of such a weapon, the devastation it would create, and the dilemma afterwards the world would face in the years following. The Nuclear Age of warfare had begun in a sense in 1945.
Today, the world faces the threat of Nuclear War more than ever. In addition to the United States having Nuclear weapons, there is Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, North Korea, and Iran developing capabilities to launch and use Nuclear weapons. Oppenheimer knew that eventually this would happen.
August 9th will commemorate the 78th Anniversary of the Atomic bomb over Nagasaki.
