On this episode of DragonKing Dark, host Karl Stern switches back over to a science and history-based episode to discuss the most powerful weapon ever created, a weapon that killed almost 100,000 in one terrible moment — the atomic bomb.
On this episode we cover —
- World events that led up to the creation of the bomb.
- Who worked on the bomb and the entire cities that were built to construct it.
- Why it is so hard to make one and why not every country has one.
- The two war-time uses of the atomic bomb and what happened on those August days in 1945.
- The post-World War II testing in Bikini Atoll.
- The largest man-made explosion in human history.
