Maybe because I was such a treker, I used to think it impossible we were alone. Now, sadly, I don’t.

I knew someone in grad school who wrote his dissertation on Bohm and three other Oppenheimer students who suffered for left wing political activity. Was incidentally the funniest storyteller I've ever met.

They key thing is that aside from some physicists and a few others, those who knew about the atomic bomb just thought about it like a really, really big bomb. What difference did it make if they were dropping a thousand conventional bombs versus one atomic bomb?

The bomb designers also discussed whether they might just do a demo of the bomb for Japanese leaders instead of destroying cities, but decided they'd be screwed if the bomb was a dud. But who knows what Truman's calculus would have been if Germany were still fighting.
