This makes me think that an atomic bomb is on of the most powerful\deadliest things ever. This makes me wonder why the president didn't think of another way for japan to surrender quickly without harming anyone.-Sherice Washington

The United States wanted to avoid the War, but when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, we declared war. The United States was already working on an atomic bomb in secrecy when the possibly of Germany building an atomic bomb as well reached the ears of the President. The race had begun. Spies were all over each other's territory to get any information possible. We won the war by bombing Japan, but that didn't stop our thirst for power. Globally, we have created atomic bombs that could cause a major impact in our lives if we were to enter a nuclear war.  ]]> 2018-02-16 15:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/paula_richards_/atomicbomb/wish/232380932 https://padlet.com/paula_richards_/atomicbomb/wish/232381666 This makes me wonder if they trust theoretical probability over experimental probability.

After reading this article,  one theory i'm growing is how did the Soviet Union made an atomic bomb named the Tsar Bomba that made the most deadliest and biggest explosion because the scientist from the Soviet Union just used hydrogen to make an hydrogen bomb that could explode up to 50 ton of TNT.

But actually, it was partially the United States fault as well. I understood why they used the first bomb "Little Boy," but they should've given Japan more time on choosing to surrender or not, before dropping the bom, "Fat Man." Because of the United States' impatient decision to drop the second bomb, an estimated one-third of their population was killed, most of them civilians.

This was demonstrated through the creation of Tsar Bomba. The real question is why didn’t they make the bomb sooner? One theory I’m starting to grow is that they didn’t make a nuclear weapon at the same time as the USA and Germany is because they were still trying to grasp the idea of how they could split atoms to make extremely powerful bombs, they were still trying to figure out what the US was doing to make their bombs. They must’ve used the information stolen from the US, changed the process a little, then created Tsar Bomba.]]> 2018-02-16 17:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/paula_richards_/atomicbomb/wish/232436449 https://padlet.com/paula_richards_/atomicbomb/wish/232436894 It made me understand how devastating the effects of an atomic bomb can be,and I realized that bombs have come a much farther way. It will be even more horrendous now that technology has advanced and even more than a city can be destroyed in a matter of seconds.The text also made me wonder which people know about these important topics because one the president that went into power didn’t even know that they had atomic bombs but still used it. It also amazes me how much money they spent on trying to make the atomic bomb they spent over a billion dollars trying to create this thing that caused mass destruction]]> 2018-02-16 17:41:51 UTC https://padlet.com/paula_richards_/atomicbomb/wish/232436894 https://padlet.com/paula_richards_/atomicbomb/wish/232437667 I Realized how the atomic was actually brought about and how these people quickly processed to make the atomic bomb . Like the whole background of the idea with Albert Einstein. Also how even through both bombs Japan still stood strong not knowing if the U.S did or did not plan to drop another bomb. Also how several years after the war the U.S and Soviet Union still creates more powerful hydrogen bombs even though they were afraid of the next war being a nuclear war. http://www.historyforkids.net/atomic-bomb.html]]> 2018-02-16 17:43:34 UTC https://padlet.com/paula_richards_/atomicbomb/wish/232437667 https://padlet.com/paula_richards_/atomicbomb/wish/232438210 Using information I have gathered, I've come to the realization that not only does atomic bombs have physical effects, it has very damaging emotional effects and economic effects as well. Articles have portrayed the bomb as very dangerous and powerful but I think the bomb is more than that. I believe the bomb is just something that countries use as a threatening mechanism.  In many articles they describe the bombs as "ruthless" and "killing machine" when in reality the bomb is just a threat for other countries. The usage of these bombs have also affected the dooms day clock, which not many have taken into consideration.

Some countries will use it to force opposers to forfeit or surrender if they are at war or conflict. When I came to conclusion it made me wonder what would happen if a weapon such as an atomic bomb were to fall in the wrong hands. Nd what would happen to the world.

I can see why they had agreed to this. They had believed that the lives gone by this atomic bomb would've been less than what would have happened if the war had continued on any longer. Of course they do have regrets of dropping the atomic bomb. They didn't know just how truly powerful it was when dropped on an actual city. A quote from Captain Roderick Lewis (co-pilot) "My god, what have we done?" My only other thought on this is. Would they do it again? Knowing what the damage would be, the lives taken, and the results of the city.]]> 2018-02-16 19:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/paula_richards_/atomicbomb/wish/232472522 https://padlet.com/paula_richards_/atomicbomb/wish/232472900 While reading this article it made me wonder about the damage one atomic bomb can cause. It can cost the lives of millions of people. This article also gives background information on the first 2 atomic bombs created. It explains whatboth atomic bombs can do and what they are made of. The bomb in Hiroshima was said to be stronger than the one dropped in Nagasaki because of the dame it caused to the city and the lives it took with it. What's also good about this article is the pictures it has representing both bombs.]]> 2018-02-16 19:04:41 UTC https://padlet.com/paula_richards_/atomicbomb/wish/232472900 https://padlet.com/paula_richards_/atomicbomb/wish/232472956 Things that iv'e learned from watching the video about the evolution of Atomic Bombs would be that Atomic bombs have surprisingly evolved since the first world wide bombing in Hiroshima. "Little Boy" which was made up of tons of thousands of TNT wasn't just the only bomb that ever existed. There was also the Fat man and many more bombs that weren't just created by the U.S.
And did you know that their still making many more types of Atomic/Nuclear bombs that could do a thousand times worse than the first bomb. . and their still being tested! But where are they tested? Maybe in the desert or possibly in the ocean... because a bomb with as much power as a thousand tons of TNT must have caused some occurrence with the outside world... or did it...

It is really starting to grow on me that the atomic bomb was actually a good thing, even with the aftermath of death and radiation to come for decades. 500,000 people die every battle, and in average of the two bombs, one atomic bomb killed 50,000 people. That makes me wonder that the bombs were necessary, as the whole point of the bomb was to prevent another battle along the islands of Japan. I now see that an atomic bomb just saved 10x more lives than it actually took.

Albert Einstein was frightened that Germany would figure out how to create the bomb first, after he concluded that such a bomb could be made. US President Franklin Roosevelt set up the Manhattan Project when he was aware by Einstein about the bomb. The project was a development for the atomic bomb. Once the bomb became more real the US wanted to make sure they were the first to build the bomb. So, they added scientist and funding to the project. There were around 200,000 people involved in the project and around $2 billion from funding when the program ended. This makes me wonder if Germany did the same as the US but had an unsuccessful program.]]> 2018-02-17 19:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/paula_richards_/atomicbomb/wish/232618938
