Hello, Classmates! World War II or Sputnik? According to Cassidy (2011), in reaction to the launch of the Soviet Sputnik satellite in 1957, the number of scientists/engineers and physicists/astronomers tripled. This historical event presented an outstanding opportunity for the advancement of the knowledge and advancement of physics. Although it was men who took over the industry, women quadrupled in both categories. This event spun people's heads to go out of their way and fight for a career to achieve something extraordinary for their country. Part II Do you feel that the knowledge of how to split an atom is good or bad for society? If I was asked, is the knowledge of splitting an atom is good or bad for the world? Most definitely bad, and must be off the plant if we must. As a society, good, we need protection and must be knowledgeable to take precautions. It created an opportunity for society to expand from chemists to physicists. Splitting an atom was a race to create a massive explosion and obstruct someone's world. World War II opened the door to physicists as a defense mechanism, raising a fund to build a bomb after the Peal Habor attack (Cassidy, 2011). The attack kept everyone on their toes as it was a horror scene, and initiative actions needed to remain in the fighting field from a political standpoint. References Cassidy, D. C. (2011).
