The completion of the project is attributed to the late 1950s, but the author focuses on the period from 1945 through 1953. On the one hand, it was then that the scientific, technical, material, and organizational prerequisites for the production of nuclear weapons were created, and, on the...
When trying to understand how scientists developed the ideas that led to the atomic bomb it is helpful to have some idea of the structure of atoms. It is obviously a vastly more complicated subject than could be covered in this book, but a simplistic overview is possible in which the basic...
That means that the Little Boy bomb had an energy density three orders of magnitude higher than a regular TNT bomb would. Now, TNT isn’t the be-all and end-all of conventional explosives, but no conventional explosive gets that much boom for its buck compared to a nuke. The Little Boy...
The brainchild of Ted Taylor – a physicist who had worked on the Manhattan atomic-bomb project at Las Alamos – Project Orion aimed to build a 4000-tonne spaceship that would use 2600 nuclear bombs to propel it into space. Dropping atomic bombs out of the back of a spacecraft sounds ...
