' The Atomic Bomb '...

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. .......................... J. Robert Oppenheimer
