The surrealism of a nuclear explosion would be impossible to describe and unbelievable for listeners without this sort of footage. The actual film stock that research teams produced to capture the incredible range of light that these test explosions produce is an often overlooked accomplishment in war funded chemistry. I realize this compilation was likely created with some anger, but I find much of it mesmerizing.

sorry for the NSFW music (a few f-bombs), and for the 'war pornography' aspects of the footage.

The footage is amazing. Though I hate the fact that it's one of those Kill'em All type of military videos. Fortunately I can mute. Almost all the footage is from Trinty and Beyond I think...

It makes you think... maybe its a good thing that Einstein didn't discover the unifying theory of everything, because God only knows what kind of weapons could be made with a perfect understanding and application of string theory.

Well I don't know bamdrew, am still glad that everyone reached the conclusion that nuclear weapons would mean mutually assured destruction. So who knows? Plus his contributions went far beyond just creating nuclear weapons... and it was Oppenheimer who did it.

I'm glad too,... that we're currently existing thanks to a few individuals who were able to communicate between the soviets and the US government during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
