Why these complaints about Linkin Park? You should be happy that the songs are able to bring people to these political issues and not just the topics that are treated today in songs
Wow, but you can see the hurt in this man's face. He fully realised the implications of his thirst for knowledge. Though if it wasn't him, some other stupid scientist would've figured it out.
I guess now, it's not a matter of if, anymore...it's WHEN!
Ohh, and before anyone lectures me on how the peace has been maintained by the threat of MAD, ask yourself this one question. Had the US been the only possessor of this weapon, do you honestly think it wouldn't have been used again?
@K1w1scot Firstable i´d respectfully say to you, dont call stupid to a scientist, its one of the worst of the things a human being can do, criticize a man who pursue knowledge for the wealth of humanity. Then, the Nuclear Physics is a kind of knowledge accessible to most of the countries in the worlds, but dont worry, like Carl Sagan said: "Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. We speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that Cosmos..."
@Cloudsorrow256 I'm presuming English isn't your first language, am I right? Read carefully what I said...then read it in context. Because your reply is meaningless rhetoric.
@K1w1scot Yes i am not, but talking about context, i know not what does that have to do with what i said or with my commentary ,I dont want to discuss my friend, i know who Robert Oppenheimer was, what he did, im a physicist...
Then, i suggest you to read something about physics too, in a very friendly way, because you need to know what a Nuclear Weapon is...in fact, to know what Nuclear Energy is also, its not a weapon, but a resource.
@Cloudsorrow256 I HAVE studied physics as well, thank you. Nuclear power IS NOT a resource. It is only a source of more high-grade fissile material. That, Cloudsorrow, is what has driven the nuclear industry since 1945...NOT the pursuit of cheap electricity. I suggest YOU do your homework.
Also, are you going to be so naive as to suggest Edward Teller had altruistic intentions on the commissioning of the theromnuclear bomb? I don't think so.
@K1w1scot I beg your pardon my friend, but as you well must know, not all the people who debate in this kind of Media show to have at least some knowledge about the matter being discussed, and sometimes it predisposes me, sorry.Thought we may have different opinions, points of view, maybe we are right in our own perspectives, or maybe we are not.

By the way, you suggesting that germans are destructive is akin to racisim, so have a word with yourself before accusing me of being racist when, at the very least, you are xenophobic

@RedDragon033195 But without the nuclear weapons, without the fear of total annihilation, there might very well have been third world war already. Sure we came close to nuclear war especially in Cuban Crisis, but again because of the fear of MAD (mutually assured destruction) Cold War never heated up to actual war...it's the irony of it, that the weapons we built to compeletely destroy ourselves, are the weapons that actually saves us from third world war.
The sad part is the real evil came after the creation of the atomic bomb Oppenheimer suggested that we should not use or create more nuclear weapons because of the domestic impact,, no one listened to him or any of the other fierce oponents of further nuclear developments.
The fact that most of the people watch this video and know this quote ONLY because of a Linkin Park song (though LP is an awsome group) illustrates a very sad reality in my opinion...
@blitzhannan some people know the quote because of the computer game "baldur's gate" and xzar, a character therein, who uses this quote as one of his battle cries. :)
Apparantly, no further studies are brought to light at present time. But, I know of several old timers that live in Alamogordo that have continuous cancer issues??? Whats up with that?
The night manager here told me about another tenant , 51 years old, dying of cancer, good outlook, said that he grew up in Ely, Nevada and they used to watch the mushroom clouds down by Las Vegas and he would ask his mother if it was okay to play in the dirt as it glowed in the dark; she said it was okay. "
"Commission officials seemed surprised when a few days following the tests, they received reports of radioactive snow
(Page 47) falling in the midwestern and northeastern United States."
There are many pictures of soldiers brushing the radiation off each other with brooms, One man grew up in Arizona, said there was a blast, he says radiation turned his bone to mush, he was just a child then after a test, and his leg injuries from war were painful. Henry Stimpson was secretary of war, in 1896 he was a member of the rich elite from Skull and Bones at Yale, it is said in a book I read, that he was present with three Skull and Bones members when the decision to drop the bomb
@krogan92 I disagree, he saw that his work for humanity could be used for evil, many lawrence livermore people spent time at Bohemian Grove, please do your research.
@krogan92 well no, you can't... because auras of evil are not literal... you CAN literally see an old black and white black-lit background... let's all think about what the word "literally" means people...
This is the one man I can look at and not even want to attempt to figure out exactly what he is thinking. I can only wonder if he feels remorse for his hand in taking lives, or elation at his success in changing the world. He could be feeling both, for humans are amorphous in thought like that. I don't want to preach my views on the subject because it just seems pointless now, but I do have to say... I wonder if he thought that all those innocent lives were worth the product; mere surrender.
@RealDefentertainment Sure. Think of what would have happened after WWII if there wasn't a rapid nuclear arms race between the USSR and the United States. The Cold War standoff would have almost definitely taken the form of another massive industrial scale war like the two world wars before. But the concept of mutually assured destruction made this disadvantageous to both sides. So instead, it was a series of indirect and low intensity conflicts.
I heard the radiance and thought it was weird but it took me monthes to relize it was him! I knew his name, I knew what he did, I know he was born in NY in 1904! but who quoted this?! WOW
When Oppenheimer filmed this, he saw nuclear war as a sort of Pandora's Box that he feels responsible for prying opening. Oppenheimer and Einstein both foresaw a threat to the world and the future of humanity when many of those around them only saw a quick and easy victory against a militant enemy government. Einstein himself even said "I don't know how World War III will be fought but World War IV will be fought with sticks!"
@StevenBoBeven1 Me too. I mean, what could you say after seeing something like that? Especially being one of the first humans to ever see it. You can see the look on Oppenheimer's face in this interview. After spending years buried in the science of it all, he seems to still be thinking: "Oh my God, I've created this monster and it is going to incinerate people."
@TheBigOne0305 The thing is, there are a lot of reasons why the generals and politicians SHOULD have used the bombs and where they used them, the BBCWorldwide channel has a series that very clearly illustrates all aspects of the situation. Concerning the lack of prosecution of said accused, I know a quote which merits reflection; "He who committed the 1st Sin could not be judged by his peers, for it was only upon completion of the heinous act that it could become known as 'Sin'." Pls seek depth.
So sad they created the ultimate wepon but the people who are in charge of these things today are just repsonsible as the scientist who made it..But us all we can do is just stand their and when the time come we all die because the governments like to start war now i dont like talking politics and shit but you know its true..i wasnt born around this time in making of the bomb but knowing that i and someother ppl were just born into a kind of world that ppl willwipe eachother out is a lil scary
I do not like being political on the internet because it brings flame war. But as Japanese, I am now well aware that civilians are always the victim. my grandmother's family was demolished.
When people become a victim, they think everything is wrong. Whether if it was inevitable fate or not, whether who's fault or not, it's the civilians that are the victims. That includes other countries as well. Civilians are victims. And perhaps, that is the only truth in war.
@ifluxion Good insight. Even if you slay a soldier, that soldier has a family who will mourn him. Still, I have to believe that war has a natural purpose, that we are made better somehow by our fighting each other. Good does come of this bloodshed, no matter how senseless it seems in hindsight. The rockets we developed based off the German V3 rockets eventually took Russia and the USA to the moon and, maybe at some future time, beyond.
As disgusting and sad it was that thousands of civilains died because of "Little Boy" and Fat Man", I understand the reasons why they did it, even though I dont like it a one bit. Civlians always suffer the most in the war...
But if something good became out of this is the fact that without nuclear weapons there would have propably been third world war already...it was the fear of total annihilation that prevented the war between US and USSR during Cold War and it will prevent war in the future
Civilian casualties are a part of war. It might make me a horrible person, but I fully accept that. The dropping of those bombs saved more people than they killed. This wasn't two kids arguing on the playground. A stern talking-to doesn't end full-scale global war. It's terrible that all those civilians were killed, but the positives outweigh the negatives.
@hockeybub89 i agree with that. its how war evolves just like animals, the standards of warfare have changed from a battle cry charge, to line formation and fired by rank to finally the use of nuclear warheads. its sad don't get me wrong but what now is unthinkable was back then a method of winning.
Simple logic alone shows the reasons for dropping. It saved lives (allied and especially Japanese), demonstrated the terribleness of using such a weapon, kept Northern Japan from half a century of communist dictatorship, and ended the worst war in human history.
when i first heard this quote, i expected it to be oppenheimer saying it in defiance and happiness, but i get a much greater meaning knowing it was in sadness and being distraught by what he created
Julian Schwinger once commented that after he chose not to join the manhattan project, he did the yield calcuations just for fun and felt he was a good judge to not join in.
I suppose I don't know how I'd feel being the first to see the unleashing of the forcesof nature like that; i guess it would depend on how i felt about the state of humanity; seems people generaly don't feel very comfortable about having atomic energy in todays world; but, whenever I say humanity is immature, I get shutup
He was prescient enough to know though that if he didn't build the bomb, it would have been built by someone else; the physics was accessible, and Einstein knew it. Oppenheimer is probably more reflective and solemn of the actual releasing of the beast, then the responsibility in creating it. Seeing a vision which could potentially spell the destruction of all humankind. The inevitability of the development of homo sapiens.
That is the face of guilt and regret. Someone was going to let the genie out of the bottle. He's wondering why it had to be him. Thats an intense 1000 yard stare.
Its a regrettable function of total war that whole cities be leveled and thousands of civilians killed, but it is a necessary component of that kind of war. In total war, as Von Clausewitz postulated, the very infrastructure become mechanisms of war as it is the entire (not literally) state that it is committed to fighting the war. Therefore, it is the prerogative of the opponent of this totally committed nation to destroy its ability to make war.
i think we have radiation poisoning from this hahahahaha maybe thats why im so crazy LOL, alamogordo is not that far from albuquerque :P. its really sad though in actuality how many people are killed by this, if not in the initial explosion then by radiation :(
Wow. What an intense interview. YOu can almost see how it weighs on him as a person, from the way he looks down the entire time, to how grim his tone is, right to how he wipes (what I presume to be) a tear from his gaunt face.. incredible.
I don't think he feels guilt based on his belief in the Bhagavad Gita and the way he quotes Krishna. He understood this type knowledge and its implication into an instrument of death would have surfaced with or without his help as ultimate progress can not be halted. Rather it seems he's solemn about it's emergent existence and in awe that humanity has finally attained the power of a destructive force akin only to God.
Well, TheBigOne0305, the Japanese were warned extensively about our intents to use these weapons. Something we could surely have not expected in return, and they ignored our warnings. The point of the atomic bombs were in the end, to save lives, as counter-intuitive as that may seem. A ground invasion of the mainland of Japan would have been a blood bath, and civilians would have paid the cost for this as well as the soldiers. The only people at fault here is Japanese military leadership.
As George Carlin has said, "TAKE CARE OF THE FUCKIN PLANET? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WE HAVEN'T LEARNED TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES. THE PLANET IS FINE, THE 'PEOPLE' ARE FUCKED." And I think that answers your "better to let us be extinct than to destroy the planet." If you are wondering what that is from it is from "Jammin in New York City" and the bit is called, "The planet is fine, the people are fucked."
i heard from my history teacher that he regreated the nuclear bomb to the last day of his life, poor guy imagine the burden of knowing that your creation killed thousands of innocent people, and i also heard that the people that dropped the bonb from the plane went crazy i really feel bad for Mr. Oppenheimer i Hope that he's in Heaven
Sadly it was probably nessecary to make sure they wouldnt have a Stalingrad/Berlin situation on their hands. It speaks volumes that it took two nuclear bombs to finally wake up the Japanese generalship. If the US had invaded Japan, it would have ended in an almost total destruction of Japan as a country. From that point of view they got of lucky.
Ofcourse they could just have used fire bombs or blockades instead, theres little doubt that they wanted to test their new toy.
nowadays you can't just walk around and nuke one city after another because you are no longer the only kid on the block with the big guns.
this time you would soon get to see for yourfelf how it feels if someone nukes your cities.
it's not like im looking forward to it, but seeing that you are the only country in the world with a history of nuking other people i'm kind of glad about it, i may be the only thing preventing you from keeping on nuking them ;)
thankfully the leaders of the cold war superpowers didn't share your opinion.
both sides did studies and developed scenarios of how a nuclear war would unfold, most of the time they came to the conclusion that even if they startet with the first strike they would suffer substantial damages from any retaliating strikes.
the fallout, along with the taboo of using nuclear weapons, was one of the reasons why they were never actually used since WW2.
reducing or eliminating this effect would increase the chance of them being used one day, and since they have the same destructive power of a nuclear weapon, i fail to see anything positiv about that.
(strategic) nuclear weapons are designed to attack whole cities ie targeting civilians, how in the world could that ever bee a good thing? o0
Ok think about what you just typed. What would you want, a nuke, or a weapon like a nuke with no uranium, fall on a city nearby? Do you really think some countries, or terrorists especially give a rats ass about radiation and fallout? They would love to see the US, or UK, or any country of the allies, fall apart, they don t care, and thats a fact, they would love to see our babies born with large heads, the chances would be the same for either weapon in the hands of murders.
well, nukes have been around for over 60 years now. so far none have ever been used since WW2, so something was done right about it.
one reason for this is definitely the taboo of using a nuke. and this does not mean that people are necessarily afraid of using the nuke because they don't want to cause that much damage, but because they know if they cross this line, the other side won't hold back anymore either, ie use nukes them self, and usually they have much more nukes at their disposal.
the fact that building a working nuke is quite hard is another important reason for this. so far only a limited number of nations has been able to build up a successful nuke program. others have been failing for years (see north korea for example).
sure, building a bomb and adding radioactive material to it (ie dirty bomb) is no big deal, but achieving nuclear fission during detonation at a degree necessary for a chain reaction is no easy task.
so if we go on and build new bombs which create the same amount of damage that nukes do, how are the chances that replicating them will be as difficult as building a nuke?
don't we actively play into the hands of those people you mentioned by creating new technologies that may do the same job something we already have can do quite well, but might lead to other people being able to recreate it?
to be honest, when i think about nukes, i'm not afraid of some exUSSR scientists building a nuke for
some terrorists, those scenarios are ridiculous. short of buying a complete warhead those groups will never get their hands on working nukes.
what i am afraid of is that the thousands upon thousands of nukes stockpiled by the various (mainly western) governments around the world may be used some day. the risk has decreased since the end of the cold war, but it has still not vanished.
creating a weapon without the stigmata of nukes could increase the pressure in exactly these governments to actually use them. and as we established before, nukes function in their traditional use case as an easy tool to level whole cities. i don't want to see this happen by any weapon, radiation or no radiation, anywhere on this planet. no matter how many "terrorists" there may be in that city those levels of collateral damage are completely unacceptable.
"so far none have ever been used since WW2, so something was done right about it." - eh? loads of nuclear bombs have gone off, countries all over the world have carried out their own tests, north korea?
idiots... these weapons still sit, like a loaded gun,in their silos... and you morons are arguing about linkin park

There are many pictures of soldiers brushing the radiation off each other with brooms, One man grew up in Arizona, said there was a blast, he says radiation turned his bone to mush, he was just a child then after a test, and his leg injuries from war were painful. Henry Stimpson was secretary of war, in 1896 he was a member of the rich elite from Skull and Bones at Yale, it is said in a book I read, that he was present with three Skull and Bones members when the decision to drop the bomb

I don't want to preach my views on the subject because it just seems pointless now, but I do have to say...

@RealDefentertainment Sure. Think of what would have happened after WWII if there wasn't a rapid nuclear arms race between the USSR and the United States. The Cold War standoff would have almost definitely taken the form of another massive industrial scale war like the two world wars before. But the concept of mutually assured destruction made this disadvantageous to both sides. So instead, it was a series of indirect and low intensity conflicts.

When Oppenheimer filmed this, he saw nuclear war as a sort of Pandora's Box that he feels responsible for prying opening. Oppenheimer and Einstein both foresaw a threat to the world and the future of humanity when many of those around them only saw a quick and easy victory against a militant enemy government. Einstein himself even said "I don't know how World War III will be fought but World War IV will be fought with sticks!"

@TheBigOne0305 The thing is, there are a lot of reasons why the generals and politicians SHOULD have used the bombs and where they used them, the BBCWorldwide channel has a series that very clearly illustrates all aspects of the situation.

I do not like being political on the internet because it brings flame war. But as Japanese, I am now well aware that civilians are always the victim. my grandmother's family was demolished.
When people become a victim, they think everything is wrong. Whether if it was inevitable fate or not, whether who's fault or not, it's the civilians that are the victims. That includes other countries as well. Civilians are victims. And perhaps, that is the only truth in war.
ifluxion 1 year ago
@ifluxion Good insight. Even if you slay a soldier, that soldier has a family who will mourn him. Still, I have to believe that war has a natural purpose, that we are made better somehow by our fighting each other. Good does come of this bloodshed, no matter how senseless it seems in hindsight. The rockets we developed based off the German V3 rockets eventually took Russia and the USA to the moon and, maybe at some future time, beyond.

As disgusting and sad it was that thousands of civilains died because of "Little Boy" and Fat Man", I understand the reasons why they did it, even though I dont like it a one bit. Civlians always suffer the most in the war...
But if something good became out of this is the fact that without nuclear weapons there would have propably been third world war already...it was the fear of total annihilation that prevented the war between US and USSR during Cold War and it will prevent war in the future
Balnazzardi 1 year ago
Civilian casualties are a part of war. It might make me a horrible person, but I fully accept that. The dropping of those bombs saved more people than they killed. This wasn't two kids arguing on the playground. A stern talking-to doesn't end full-scale global war. It's terrible that all those civilians were killed, but the positives outweigh the negatives.
hockeybub89 1 year ago
@hockeybub89 i agree with that. its how war evolves just like animals, the standards of warfare have changed from a battle cry charge, to line formation and fired by rank to finally the use of nuclear warheads. its sad don't get me wrong but what now is unthinkable was back then a method of winning.

Simple logic alone shows the reasons for dropping. It saved lives (allied and especially Japanese), demonstrated the terribleness of using such a weapon, kept Northern Japan from half a century of communist dictatorship, and ended the worst war in human history.

oker59 1 year ago
He was prescient enough to know though that if he didn't build the bomb, it would have been built by someone else; the physics was accessible, and Einstein knew it. Oppenheimer is probably more reflective and solemn of the actual releasing of the beast, then the responsibility in creating it. Seeing a vision which could potentially spell the destruction of all humankind. The inevitability of the development of homo sapiens.

Its a regrettable function of total war that whole cities be leveled and thousands of civilians killed, but it is a necessary component of that kind of war. In total war, as Von Clausewitz postulated, the very infrastructure become mechanisms of war as it is the entire (not literally) state that it is committed to fighting the war. Therefore, it is the prerogative of the opponent of this totally committed nation to destroy its ability to make war.

Rather it seems he's solemn about it's emergent existence and in awe that humanity has finally attained the power of a destructive force akin only to God.

Well, TheBigOne0305, the Japanese were warned extensively about our intents to use these weapons. Something we could surely have not expected in return, and they ignored our warnings. The point of the atomic bombs were in the end, to save lives, as counter-intuitive as that may seem. A ground invasion of the mainland of Japan would have been a blood bath, and civilians would have paid the cost for this as well as the soldiers. The only people at fault here is Japanese military leadership.

Sadly it was probably nessecary to make sure they wouldnt have a Stalingrad/Berlin situation on their hands. It speaks volumes that it took two nuclear bombs to finally wake up the Japanese generalship. If the US had invaded Japan, it would have ended in an almost total destruction of Japan as a country. From that point of view they got of lucky.
Ofcourse they could just have used fire bombs or blockades instead, theres little doubt that they wanted to test their new toy.

CommanderKeyesII 1 year ago
and how is that a good thing?
the fallout, along with the taboo of using nuclear weapons, was one of the reasons why they were never actually used since WW2.
reducing or eliminating this effect would increase the chance of them being used one day, and since they have the same destructive power of a nuclear weapon, i fail to see anything positiv about that.
(strategic) nuclear weapons are designed to attack whole cities ie targeting civilians, how in the world could that ever bee a good thing? o0
TheBigOne0305 1 year ago
Ok think about what you just typed. What would you want, a nuke, or a weapon like a nuke with no uranium, fall on a city nearby? Do you really think some countries, or terrorists especially give a rats ass about radiation and fallout? They would love to see the US, or UK, or any country of the allies, fall apart, they don t care, and thats a fact, they would love to see our babies born with large heads, the chances would be the same for either weapon in the hands of murders.
Robert941 1 year ago
well, nukes have been around for over 60 years now. so far none have ever been used since WW2, so something was done right about it.
one reason for this is definitely the taboo of using a nuke. and this does not mean that people are necessarily afraid of using the nuke because they don't want to cause that much damage, but because they know if they cross this line, the other side won't hold back anymore either, ie use nukes them self, and usually they have much more nukes at their disposal.
TheBigOne0305 1 year ago
the fact that building a working nuke is quite hard is another important reason for this. so far only a limited number of nations has been able to build up a successful nuke program. others have been failing for years (see north korea for example).
sure, building a bomb and adding radioactive material to it (ie dirty bomb) is no big deal, but achieving nuclear fission during detonation at a degree necessary for a chain reaction is no easy task.
TheBigOne0305 1 year ago
so if we go on and build new bombs which create the same amount of damage that nukes do, how are the chances that replicating them will be as difficult as building a nuke?
don't we actively play into the hands of those people you mentioned by creating new technologies that may do the same job something we already have can do quite well, but might lead to other people being able to recreate it?
to be honest, when i think about nukes, i'm not afraid of some exUSSR scientists building a nuke for
TheBigOne0305 1 year ago
some terrorists, those scenarios are ridiculous. short of buying a complete warhead those groups will never get their hands on working nukes.
what i am afraid of is that the thousands upon thousands of nukes stockpiled by the various (mainly western) governments around the world may be used some day. the risk has decreased since the end of the cold war, but it has still not vanished.
TheBigOne0305 1 year ago
creating a weapon without the stigmata of nukes could increase the pressure in exactly these governments to actually use them. and as we established before, nukes function in their traditional use case as an easy tool to level whole cities. i don't want to see this happen by any weapon, radiation or no radiation, anywhere on this planet. no matter how many "terrorists" there may be in that city those levels of collateral damage are completely unacceptable.
