It would be May 8 1951, when Teller would get the chance on an experiment called the “George Test”. This wasn’t a full-scale testing but it was purely for calculations and to show the worried government that the taxpayers money was being used for progress. The test was conducted on a bare stretch of the Marshall Island chain in the central Pacific Ocean. A year later a mathematician named Stanislaw Ulam would suggest to Teller to use two fission bombs. The second explosion would be detonated by

completely vaporized, within one and a half miles diameter, everything was completely destroyed, extreme blast damage was incurred within two miles diameter and within two and a half miles diameter, everything flammable burned. Is this what J. Robert Oppenheimer had in mind when he overlooked the entire creation of the

Research Question: Was it necessary for President Truman to drop the atomic bomb in Japan? Was it necessary for Truman to drop the Atomic Bombs on Japan in World War II? On August 6, 1945, the first atomic bomb was dropped by a US aircraft on Hiroshima. This atomic bomb was dropped to force Japan into surrender, this bomb alone destroyed Hiroshima and over 90,000 people were instantly killed in the explosion and an additional 100,000 people perished from burns and radiation sickness. Japan refused

It has been said, that the only constant pursuit of humanity since the dawn of man is the continuous accumulation of knowledge. For thousands of years humans, as engineers, have been harnessing and manipulating many forms of energy. As humanity gained knowledge, they became better able to manipulate energy into a productive force. The harnessing of fire, steam, oil and nuclear power have all greatly influenced humanity. The first monumental leap in mankind’s journey with energy, was when early hominids

ABSTRACT Corporate Social Responsibility, a theory that has evolved since the 1990s, seeks to see businesses be responsible for their actions socially and environmentally. There is an increasing trend by businesses to adopt Corporate Social Responsibility Practices. This paper attempts to define the reasons why this is so, and what strategic issues are faced by companies who adopt these practices. The issue of Corporate Social Responsibility will then be highlighted in a case study of De Beers

“The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson is about Symbolism "The Lottery," a short story written by Shirley Jackson, is a tale about an inhumane and horrific tradition that a community celebrates every year between 10 a.m. and noon on June 27, a sunny day, in a New England village (“Cummings Study Guide”). Not only is this story about tradition but it also hides the meaning of symbolism as well. The setting takes place in a small village consisting of about three hundred people. On

The First & Only-Atomic Bomb The atomic bomb, also known as the atom bomb or fission bomb, a weapon whose explosive power originates from the fission of atomic nuclei, a reaction in which an atomic nucleus splits in two. When the nucleus of a heavy atom, such as the element uranium-235, which is what the atom bomb is made out of, is split, a certain amount of mass disappears and an equivalent amount of energy is released. This was expressed by the equation E=mc2 (energy = mass times the speed of

Ever since humans stepped foot on this Earth we have been wired into believing what is right and what is wrong. Right and wrong originated with an opinion, therefore making the world we live in completely flawed. Everything we perceive to be the right thing to do, could have possibly been the opposite if someone had said so. Today, right and wrong is based off of the majority of society and what we believe affects what we chose to do. There is no right or wrong, not even morals, just actions. Humans

The black hole, a region of spacetime thats gravity is so strong that can prevent anything from escaping, even light. Contrary to popular belief, black holes are not empty holes in space, but rather a massive amount of matter packed into a small area. The graphic to the right shows the simulated view of a black hole in front of a Large Magellanic Cloud. The theory of these black holes was conceived in Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It predicts that a plentiful compact mass will contort
