This year, 2025, is the 80th year of that test, the world’s first nuclear weapon test. It is also the 80th year of the first use of the bomb that had been tested over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki less than one month later, killing between 1,50,000 and 2,46,000 people, mostly civilians.
Leading the Director of the project, J. Robert Oppenheimer, to cite the Bhagavad Gita’s stunning imagery of Death by the light and heat of a thousand suns. On the very day that the bomb fell on Nagasaki, Bertrand Russell began drafting a statement that said:
“The prospect for the human race is sombre beyond all precedent. Mankind are faced with a clear-cut alternative: either we shall all perish, or we shall have to acquire some slight degree of common sense. A great deal of new political thinking will be necessary if utter disaster is to be averted.”

A grim reminder of the state of humanity … Once the can of worms was opened we lost our innocence and can never turn back.
