I wish I could credit the nuclear physicist who watched an explosion, and saw what he had wrought, but I just cannot recall the man's name. I'll guess it was Neils Bohr, but don't quote me on this one. Anyway, as the hellish fireball expanded into the sky, the physicist in question said, "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." Is this writer lazy or what? It was Oppenheimer, and he was quoting the Baghavad Gita.

He called the project Trinity just so he could use that line. What an ego.
