My Connection

My personal connection with my blog is that I feel bad for the people that lost their families even the ones who weren’t so innocent in a huge bombing that was dropped on their entire country. I put myself in their shoes because now the survivors are homeless. People are struggling to find new homes, and they were forced to live under bad conditions. I feel bad because there wasn’t much thought put into the idea that if this bomb is dropped on this country that many will die. I put myself in the shoes of those little kids that didn’t have the chance to grow up and see how it feels to live life. Some kids wouldn’t be able to see their first birthdays, take their first steps, and say their first words. The unfortunate wasn’t even thought about. I feel for them because many people didn’t. The innocent wasn’t innocent enough to be discriminated away from the negativity that the selfish soldiers from their country brought upon them. I feel ashamed sometimes that I know that the country that I call my home land is the reason that many children never got the ability of going to school, spend time with their parents, or even say that they have friends because of the bomb that the United States created for warfare. It’s stated that many people thought of the energy that was stored in the bomb to be used for other reasons besides war and taking others lives. I remember when the low income housing (Projects) that I’m from was closed down, many people didn’t know what they were going to do nor where they were going to live because of the situation they were put in because of the negativity that some people were doing that live in our surroundings. My family was blessed enough to get out before there was know hope. My heart goes out to those who lost their lives and those who survived and are still struggling to get back on their feet.

What do I know about atomic bombs

The atomic bomb contains catastrophic energy that is held together by a chain reaction of atoms. When the bomb explodes this energy is released and causing the atoms to split and letting go of the catastrophic energy which has the ability of increasing the temperature up 1,000,000 degrees centigrade. In 1933 a physicist in Hungary named Leo Szilard patented this idea. It may have taking millions of years for us to figure this out, but it just took twelve years from the first public articulation of idea to use the bomb’s first public view to kill enemies in a war. The first time atom was split for energy in 1938, Albert Einstein wrote a letter to Franklin D. Roosevelt suggesting the atomic power could be a major source of energy in the near future. Many scientists thought with this new phenomenon would also lead to the construction of bombs and it’s conceivable, thought much less certain that the extremely powerful bombs of a new type may thus be constructed. One bomb of this type, carried by a boat and which explode in a port, might very well destroy everything in its path and its surroundings. Just one day before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, jumping the U.S into World War 2, Roosevelt made a huge decision to put $2 billion toward the Manhattan Project. This project was designed by a team of the greatest scientists to create the first nuclear weapon. These scientists were charged with developing an A Bomb before the Germans could. Led by General Leslie Groves and theoretical physics J. Robert Oppenheimer, the group included scientific geniuses like Neils Bohr, who fled from Germany to avoid making the bomb for Hitler; Enrico Fermi, credited with creating the first atomic fission reaction; and Richard Feynman, a mathematical savant. With outside help from Einstein, the team was set of to work. The bomb was later completed in 1945.
