@wellerstein What impresses me is the fact that we dropped little boy bomb on Japan without ever testing! That's impressively accurate est!
Impressively accurate estimate of HEU needed for a bomb, from Uranium Committee, October 1941. Little Boy used 64 kg.pic.twitter.com/qVbhya2XxB

@Casillic@wellerstein U R impressed with an action that killed 75,000 people outright & condemned thousands of others with death by cancer. -
@NuclearReporter@wellerstein Yes & saved countless America lives from having to invade Japanese home land Would have cost 1 million lives! -
@Casillic@wellerstein Bullshit. Japan was ready to surrender, but we wanted to show Russia how powerful we were, so we nuked them twice. -
@NuclearReporter@wellerstein touché Doc. But we had it alone, never used it again! Not sure others would do the same! Was superb physics! -
@Casillic@wellerstein Just keep feeling proud of what was arguably the most inhumane action in history. You're a champ!
