to be fair the manhattan project wasn’t that much better either. beats me how any physicist studying the mathematical beauty of the world could be like “ooooh let’s find a way to use this for mass murder and environmental damage”

Dude, the Manhattan Project was not developed to “study the mathematical beauty of the world”, it was built to nuke Hitler

the creators were fully aware they were creating a weapon of genocide and mass destruction and were hyped up about making it huge. even the test explosion killed locals through radiation. “oh i didn’t know someone was really gonna use this on civilians” is quite a dumb excuse.

They were fully aware they were making a device to stop Nazism and tyranny and win the war. Heroes, the lot of them.
