General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Every year, I see the same thing re Hiroshima and Nagasaki [View all]by your explaination in clearly an implied personal attack as obviously no one in their right mind would walk around all day "with a rock in their shoe."
I know that you've already made up your mind on this question. It is obvious that we should investigate this question. I don't feel "bad" about it as I've given up considering myself to be guilty of things that are beyond my control as this clearly was. And you are dead wrong. We DO HAVE INFORMATION about Hiroshima and the sequence of events.
Why in the world do you think I feel "guilty" about it. Quite the contrary. Though I will admit to feeling some sympathy for the innocent victims.
Gee - - get a grip. Either make intelligent reference to actual facts or don't bother. Really as a physicist this is about actual facts and the actual history. If I come to a conclusion that differs from the mainstream American mythology so be it. It isn't based on emotion. My position is based on study of the actual events.
You can find accounts of it if you wish but I bet you don't
