WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Trinity 5:29 centers on J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. When Trinity, the first atomic bomb, was tested at 5:29am on July 16, 1945, Oppenheimer whispered a quote from Hindu scripture, "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
Less than a month later, two 20-kiloton bombs were dropped on Japan, killing almost a quarter of a million people. Trapped in a desert of complicated regret, guilt and justification, New Jersey native Oppenheimer spent the rest of his life trying to decipher his actions.
What are other members saying?
RE:Correct the Synopsis
The two bombs used on Japan were in the 20 KILOton range, i.e., 20 THOUSAND tons of T.N.T. Bombs of the 20 MEGAton range, i.e., 20 MILLION tons of T.N.T. did not come along until the early 50s. Sandy Kramer, Ph.D.
