To nuclear physicists, the implications of this strange experiment are immediately obvious.
A few weeks later, on his blackboard at the University of California, Berkeley’s Radiation Laboratory, J. Robert Oppenheimer sketched the first crude drawing of an atomic bomb.
The story of how the atomic bomb came into being is also of intense interest to another group of scientists, artificial intelligence researchers.
According to Belfield, each of these men had a main motivation to get a nuclear bomb before the Nazis, and each of them, he says, wanted to defeat the German militarists.
The definitive telling of this story is Richard Rhodes’ Pulitzer Prize-winning The Making of the Atomic Bomb, first released in 1986.For every single one of them, Belfield says, the main motivation was to get a chemical weapon before the Germans
