On this day in :
1931 - Einstein urges all scientists to refuse military work.
1939 - Albert Einstein and Leó Szilárd write a letter to Franklin D. Roosevelt urging him to begin the Manhattan project to develop a nuclear weapon.
Maybe it has something to do with this guy. On the same day in :
1934 - Gleichschaltung: Adolf Hitler becomes Führer of Germany.
If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the mighty one...
Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.
- J. R. Oppenheimer quoting verses from the Hindu holy book, the Bhagavad Gita
