Oppenheimer's younger brother, physicist Frank Oppenheimer, is also a member of Los Alamos Laboratory. He recalled: "The first light of the explosion was enough to penetrate the closed eyes, followed by a huge and bright purple mushroom cloud."
Pay attention to that sentence: "The first light of the explosion is enough to penetrate the closed eyes."
You know that.
Oppenheimer's comments on nuclear explosions:
We know the world will be different.
We know that the world will never be the same again.
Several people laughed.

A few people shouted:

Most people were silent.
The rest of us were silent.
I remembered
I remembered
A line from the Hindu scripture Bhagavad-gita.
Hindu teachings, hymns of the great god
Vishnu tried to convince the prince.
Vishnu tried to convince the prince.
He should do his duty.
Perform his duties.
In order to impress him
In order to impress him
Appear in the form of multiple arms and say,
Vishnu showed his one thousand arms and said
"Now I am death, the destroyer of the world."
"Now I am death itself, the destroyer of the endless world."
I think we all think.
I think we've all thought about it.
Anyway.
Just in a different way.
During the nuclear explosion test, Oppenheimer read "Song of the Blesser" in the Mahabharata Sutra: "The sky is brilliant, like the Holy Spirit, and only a thousand solar energy can compete with it."
The English version of Song of Blessing translates extraordinary splendour into rainbow, that is, "rainbow".
Connett, president of Harvard University at the scene of the experimental explosion, said that it was a white flash that occupied all the sky from the beginning. "I think there must be something wrong. The whole world is on fire." .
After the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Oppenheimer's guilt became more and more difficult to shake off, so that as a member of the American delegation, he blurted out, "Mr. Chairman, my hands are covered with fresh blood." I was so angry that Truman, then president of the United States, shouted, "Don't bring this guy to see me again. Anyway, he just built an atomic bomb, and I ordered the bombing. " Facing the reporter, Oppenheimer said frankly: "No matter whether it is accusation, irony or praise, physicists can't get rid of their instinctive guilt, because they know that their knowledge should not be used."
Bob Thurber, a physicist who was at the test site with Feynman, said, "Twenty miles away, my face still burns."
