Deadly Myanmar Earthquake Unleashed Energy Of “334 Atomic Bombs”: Report byteseu.com/879604/ #AmericanGeologist #AtomicBomb #EarthquakeNews #Energy #EurasianPlate #IndianTectonicPlate #JessPhoenix #MyanmarEartquake #MyanmarQuakeNews

Bytes Europe · Deadly Myanmar Earthquake Unleashed Energy Of '334 Atomic Bombs': ReportMandalay: The powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake, which killed around 1700 people in Myanmar, has unleashed energy equivalent to over 300 atomic bombs combined, according to a leading American geologist. 'The force that a quake like this releases is about 334 atomic bombs,' geologist Jess Phoenix told CNN. Ms Phoenix also warned that aftershocks from the quake, which struck Myanmar on Friday, 'could persist for months.' She noted that this would happen because the Indian tectonic plate continues to crash with the Eurasian plate beneath Myanmar.The geologist further noted that there could be hindrances in grasping the full extent of the catastrophe as the

Today in History, March 14, 1879, Albert Einstein was born. In addition to being one of the most significant physicists of all time, he was also a pacifist. Yet his letter to President Roosevelt warning of the Nazi progress on atomic weapons research was arguably key to the U.S. implementation of the Manhatton Project, a decision he later lamented. In 1955, well after the Cold War and nuclear arms race had begun, he and ten other intellectuals and scientists, including other Nobel Prize laureates, like Bertrand Russell and Linus Pauling, wrote a manifesto warning of the dangers of nuclear weapons. Einstein also participated in the U.S. Civil Rights movement, calling racism America’s “worst disease.” Later in his life he began to support socialism, and he criticized the Bolsheviks for their barbarism. Einstein was also a Zionist, and supported Jews’ right to return to Palestine. However, he did not support a Jewish state, or an Arab state, to replace Mandatory Palestine. Rather, he wanted a free, bi-national Palestine in which Jews and Arabs shared sovereignty, living peacefully and equally with each other.

#Pioneering female #Chinese #American physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, who worked with Robert #Oppenheimer on the #ManhattanProject, was also the first to confirm #QuantumEntanglement – just 14 years after Albert #Einstein questioned the phenomenon. The largely forgotten achievement was included in a profile of Wu, one of the most influential experimental physicists of the 20th century, published in the December 2024 issue of Physics Today.

Wu is also believed to have been the only Chinese scientist involved in the Manhattan Project, the World War II initiative to develop an #AtomicBomb led by Oppenheimer, who affectionately referred to her as Jiejie, which means elder sister, the article said.

Wu’s experiment – detailed in a paper published in 1950 – was conducted before the #scientific community had fully grasped the significance of quantum entanglement, the article noted.

While #PeterDutton gets headlines for his #nuclear fairytale and the Labor Government presses on with its #AUKUS submarines, the fallout from nuclear bomb testing in the #Pilbara in 1956 finally reaches court. .

In 1956, on the remote Montebello Islands off #WesternAustralia, an #atomicbomb was tested. It was supposed to be no more than 50 kilotons, but in fact measured 98 kilotons, or more than six times the strength of the bomb dropped over #Hiroshima in 1945.

Ever since then, Australian and UK Governments have suppressed the facts and denied compensation to the victims. That may finally be about to change.

Saw the #FireBombing of cities, a #TerrorIst activity of #TheAllies during #WWII used against #Civilians in cities such as #Dresden and #Tokyo, featuring in the #StudioGhibli movie #HowlsMovingCastle.

I saw nothing in the movie that reference the dropping of the #AtomicBomb on both #Hiroshima and #Nagasaki.

But I can't think of any other movie of the last 40 years that references the mass bombing of multiple cities in wartime.
#TheSimpsons for example goes nowhere near it.

First person I met who worked on the bomb called himself an astrophysicist when I met him (hence the surprise to find out he was a whistleblower on the X-ray space lasers to Congress later).

The Making of the Atomic Bomb

Twenty-five years after its initial publication, The Making of the Atomic Bomb remains the definitive history of nuclear weapons and the Manhattan Project. From the turn-of-the-century discovery of nuclear energy to the dropping of the first bombs on Japan, Richard Rhodes’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book details the science, the people, and the socio-political realities that led to the development of the atomic bomb.

This sweeping account begins in the 19th century, with the discovery of nuclear fission, and continues to World War Two and the Americans’ race to beat Hitler’s Nazis. That competition launched the Manhattan Project and the nearly overnight construction of a vast military-industrial complex that culminated in the fateful dropping of the first bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Reading like a character-driven suspense novel, the book introduces the players in this saga of physics, politics, and human psychology—from FDR and Einstein to the visionary scientists who pioneered quantum theory and the application of thermonuclear fission, including Planck, Szilard, Bohr, Oppenheimer, Fermi, Teller, Meitner, von Neumann, and Lawrence. From nuclear power’s earliest foreshadowing in the work of H.G. Wells to the bright glare of Trinity at Alamogordo and the arms race of the Cold War, this dread invention forever changed the course of human history, and The Making of The Atomic Bomb provides a panoramic backdrop for that story. Richard Rhodes’s ability to craft compelling biographical portraits is matched only by his rigorous scholarship. Told in rich human, political, and scientific detail that any reader can follow, The Making of the Atomic Bomb is a thought-provoking and masterful work.

"I will write peace on your wings," said Sadako Sasaki while diligently folding the paper cranes.

Learn the touching story of a little girl who was affected by the atomic bomb. As a society, we should always strive to make a better future for our children.
