    At 05.45 local time, on Monday 16 July, 75 years ago, "the gadget" was tested near Alamogordo, New Mexico and the world was never the same again. Niels Bohr said "Now there can be no more war", if only his words came true.

      Oppenheimer could immediately see the threat posed by his new technology and famously used the quote, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds".

       

      We had the sense to pull back from Nuclear Armageddon but we don't seem to be able to act on the equally serious, insidious and creeping threat of ecological destruction.

      DA BOMB! could never stop war, only attenuate it (it seems that, in this respect at least, Niels Bohr was a fool).
