the Relation between Atomic Age and Bhagwat Geeta :- The Atomic Age: ...now I am become Death [Shiva], the destroyer of worlds... Physicist Robert Oppenheimer, Supervising Scientist of the Manhattan Project on 16 July 1945 at 0529 HRS, in the Jornada del Muerto desert near the Trinity site in the White Sands Missile Range. ... quoting from the Bhagavad-Gita upon witnessing the first atomic detonation by mankind. The exact quote from the Bhagavad-Gita is: If the radiance of a thousand suns Were to burst at once into the sky That would be like the splendor of the Mighty one ... I am become Death, The shatterer of Worlds. The Atomic Age began at exactly 5:30 Mountain War Time on the morning of July 15, 1945, on a stretch of semi-desert land about 5 airline miles from Alamogordo, New Mexico. And just at that instance there rose from the bowels of the earth a light not of this world, the light of many suns in one. William Laurence, New York Times, September 26, 1945
