Oppenheimer’s Atomic Bomb: Fission, Uranium, Plutonium & Explosions

With Oppenheimer thrilling audiences around the world, a spotlight has been shined on nuclear technology. How did the bombs “Little Boy” and “Fat Man,” which were dropped on Japan, really work? What really happens on a micro scale when people set off those kinds of chain reactions—ones that the scientists admitted had a “NEAR zero” chance of destroying the world?

Since HypXR is a tech podcast, it’s time to talk about some of the most destructive technology the world has ever seen and bring you what information Rob and Nick found after their last episode’s movie review of Oppenheimer. How is nuclear technology now being used for good outside of weapons? Will Oppenheimer go down as one of the top movies in modern times, or does it just show what kind of an arms race the world’s really been in for almost a century? How can humanity be brought back into technology? Join Nick Janicki and investigative researcher Rob Counts for the HypXR podcast that’ll help you navigate the multiverse.
