The Manhattan Project initially -prévu to advance a similar project (hypothetical?) Of nazis- was intended for use for destructive purposes phenomenal amount of kinetic energy released by nuclear fission. It will allow the development of an atomic bomb that will put an end to the fierce resistance of the Japanese in 1945.
The project is exemplary because it is the most vivid illustration of the diversion by the policy of the most spectacular advances in science. The "actors" of this discovery, terrified by the use of their work, are almost all gone after the war peace activists.
On 16 July 1945, the Alamogordo Air Base, the first atomic bomb, Gadget, exploded during a test called Trinity. The story said Kenneth Bainbridge, the test manager, slipped in the ear of Robert Oppenheimer (project owner), after the explosion: Now we are all sounds-of-bitches ("From now on, we are all whores son "), echoing the famous declaration of Oppenheimer I am Become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds (" Now I am Death, the Destroyer of Worlds "). …show more content…
What is the origin of nuclear energy?
Einstein's famous formula E = mc2 (energy E, for a body of mass m c is the speed of light -vitesse- in a vacuum, c = 300,000 km / s) translates an equivalence between mass and energy.
The mass of the core (consisting of protons and neutrons nucleons) is less than the sum of the masses of each of its nucleons. The missing mass (mass defect) can "transform" into energy during the fragmentation of the
