《Oppenheimer》The relationship between quantum mechanics and the atomic bomb in the movie

《Oppenheimer》This is a very excellent film and television drama, and the plot in the drama is also very good. Next, the editor and my friends will discuss《Oppenheimer》quantum mechanics and atomic bombs in the movieLet’s discuss the relationship. I hope friends who read this will like this article.

Quantum mechanics, atomic bombs, and related discussions appear many times in the movie. Quantum mechanics mainly studies physics in the microscopic world. The microscopic world refers to the world that cannot be directly seen by the naked eye or general observation.Take human beings as an example. Human beings are composed of cells, cells are composed of molecules, and molecules are composed of atoms. Atoms are the basic units of all matter. Quantum mechanics mainly studies the behavior (state, interaction) of atoms and smaller particles.way, properties under different conditions, etc.).

There is a nucleus at the center of the atom. Surrounding the nucleus are small particles that move rapidly around it. Quantum mechanics helps scientists understand how these particles interact with the nucleus.When an atomic nucleus is hit, it becomes unstable and splits into small fragments, releasing a large amount of energy, which is called "nuclear fission." Those split nuclei will hit again and split again, triggering a chain reaction. This is the atomic bomb.principle.

At the end of 1938, before the start of World War II, German scientists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann discovered the phenomenon of nuclear fission. After it was published in a scientific magazine, nuclear energy began to attract the attention of scientists around the world. The German Army (Nazi) at that time used the physicist WeirHeisenberg headed a team to study atomic weapons.

During World War II, American scientists and government officials worried that if the Nazis succeeded in developing an atomic bomb, it might pose a huge threat to the world, so they established a committee to study atomic weapons.

After the Nazis surrendered, the original strategic goals of the United States disappeared. Some people believed that research on atomic bombs should be stopped. However, the government and scientists considered that the Soviet Union, which occupied Germany, also had relevant technology and knowledge, and were worried that if the Soviet Union developed the atomic bomb first, it would become a hidden concern..In addition, Japan's Pearl Harbor attack on the United States deepened the American people's concerns about national security and prompted a higher demand for new weapons technology, which led to the creation of the Manhattan Project.

This is all the information related to the relationship between quantum mechanics and the atomic bomb in the movie Oppenheimer. I believe that the plot will have more exciting trends in the future. If you like it, remember to pay attention.
