Infamous quote by J. Robert Oppenheimer in reference to the Trinity test in New Mexico, where the first atomic bomb was detonated. Quote comes from the Bhagavad Gita: "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." No need to be a theoretical physicist to enjoy this historical quote by the scientific director of the Manhattan Project, the World War II project that developed the first nuclear weapons!
