After the success of the "Trinity" nuclear test, Oppenheimer faced this historic success with joy and concern. In 1965, when he recalled this moment, he said: "We know that the world has since It's not the same anymore. Some laugh, some cry, but most are silent."
At the time of the successful experiment in 1945, Oppenheimer, who was keen on Sanskrit and Hinduism, quoted the Hindu classic "Bhagavantan" to express his pride: "If we talk about the glory of the self, only a thousand suns rise together, shining in space , so as to be similar to it.” It was not until 1965 that he shared another sentence from the Bhagavad Tan that he did not say at the moment but came to mind: “I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.” This is Oppenheimer's most impressive and chilling classic quote.
