Kruposays...Best quote ever.
spoco2says...Ha, the uncultured me never knew where that came from... I've just always known it from the uber brilliant PC Demo Second Reality
chtiernasays...The "I am not an atomic playboy" is in one of Future Crews demos, remember it from loooooong ago. I always wondered where it came from until I found this goody
chtiernasays...hehe spoco2, 4 seconds apart between our comments
ravermansays...A bit like the LHC (but with more uncertainty as it was a completely new field)... when they first designed the atomic bomb, there were several theories about what would happen.
Some scientists figured that the atomic chain reaction would not stop. Each atom would hit the next atom breaking it up in to atomic particles flying into the next atom and so on in a chain reaction until the world was destroyed. Even Einstein, who had helped them crack the design needed for fission, wasn't certain.
They had theories, but they didn't know for certain what would happen. But as a military project, not a scientific one, it wasn't driven by logic or reason.
They took the risk and did it anyway.
direpicklesays...While it's true that there had been theories that perhaps the chain reaction wouldn't stop and that the atmosphere would be ignited, by the time they had gotten to the point of detonating a device they were about as confident that it wouldn't happen as we are now about the LHC.
djsunkidsays...YES! YES YES YES!!!!

rougysays...He...he was an asshole.
He had no fucking clue what was going on.
They had no idea, those Los Alamos retards.
They still don't.
Well, they're a little better I suppose.
A teensy tiny bit.
antsays...What about Reddit? https://www.reddit.com/user/AmNotAnAtomicPlayboy Is that yours?
