J Robert Oppenheimer: "I am become Death the destroyer of worlds." He uttered these words in a 1965 NBC broadcast on decision to drop atom bombs on Hiroshima & Nagasaki ~ End Times Productions (Feb 25, 2022)

J. Oppenheimer led a team of scientists to develop the world's first nuclear weapon in 1945, creating what Robock calls "the greatest danger that the world has been faced with."

Their race to get the bomb before the Nazis, an effort called the Manhattan Project, is the subject of Christopher Nolan's film "Oppenheimer," where the ominous death quote makes an appearance.

The real Oppenheimer uttered these words during an interview for a 1965 NBC broadcast on the decision to drop the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

He was talking about the much smaller Trinity test in the New Mexico desert just three weeks prior. It was the first atomic-bomb explosion.

With a thousand-yard stare and plenty of long pauses, the physicist says:

"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince" — here Oppenheimer dabs the corner of his eye with a knuckle, as both eyes begin to glisten, seemingly with gathering tears — "that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that one way or another."
