A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter. The first fission ("atomic") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 20,000 tons of TNT. The first thermonuclear ("hydrogen") bomb test released the same amount of energy as approximately 10,000,000 tons of TNT.
A modern thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than 2,400 pounds (1,100 kg) can produce an explosive force comparable to the detonation of more than 1.2 million tons (1.1 million tonnes) of TNT. Thus, even a small nuclear device no larger than traditional bombs can devastate an entire city by blast, fire and radiation. Nuclear weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction, and their use and control have been a major focus of international relations policy since their debut.
Only two nuclear weapons have been used in the course of warfare, both by the United States near the end of World War II. On 6 August 1945, a uranium gun-type device code-named "Little Boy" was detonated over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later, on 9 August, a plutonium implosion-type device code-named "Fat Man" was exploded over Nagasaki, Japan. These two bombings resulted in the deaths of approximately 200,000 Japanese people—mostly civilians—from acute injuries sustained from the explosions. The role of the bombings in Japan's surrender, and their ethical status, remain the subject of scholarly and popular debate.
Albert Einstein ( /ˈælbərt ˈaɪnstaɪn/; German: [ˈalbɐt ˈaɪnʃtaɪn] ( listen); 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German theoretical physicist who developed the theory of general relativity, effecting a revolution in physics. For this achievement, Einstein is often regarded as the father of modern physics. While best known for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation"), he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". The latter was pivotal in establishing quantum theory within physics.
Near the beginning of his career, Einstein thought that Newtonian mechanics was no longer enough to reconcile the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. This led to the development of his special theory of relativity. He realized, however, that the principle of relativity could also be extended to gravitational fields, and with his subsequent theory of gravitation in 1916, he published a paper on the general theory of relativity. He continued to deal with problems of statistical mechanics and quantum theory, which led to his explanations of particle theory and the motion of molecules. He also investigated the thermal properties of light which laid the foundation of the photon theory of light. In 1917, Einstein applied the general theory of relativity to model the structure of the universe as a whole.
Clung to the sweater
from the day you were born
Never knew better
That's what you swore
Mother heard you
'Cause the walls were thin
In Saturnine sweetness
And ratio din
No boy could spell you out
In the grass at night
Beneath the stars
You grew right
Past the streets
Where you were raised
Sneaking out early to a secret place
Like a hole in the wall
Like a hole in the wall
Into the bed
You hang your sleep
To watch your man
As he seeks relief
You cut out his heart
And watch him die
So we can know you
And that you're alive
As the hole in the wall
You are the hole in the wall
No one could know your son
And kisses and noise
Now you belong to them all
Awake to the dawn
And scratch your eyes
Alight the prayer candles
That you remind to
Send you a boy
That you could waste
A little piece of heaven
To set you straight
Through the hole in the wall
You are the hole in the wall
No one could tell you why
The tape's full of hiss
And sons who cry to the night
Of the dead
And the wishing ghost
Beating on you to drain morose
Through the hole in the wall
We are the holes in the wall
I've got an atom bomb
So I'm never wrong
Don't push too hard
I said I'm never wrong
I've got a thousand fears
You will lend an ear
It sounds unfair
'Cause I'm an easy scare
Let's settle the score
And shatter the sky
Such a beautiful sight
come even this life
Let's settle the score
And shatter the sky
I'll shatter, I'll shatter
I swim the shallow end
searching deep within
To save us all
To this there is no end
I'll make the planet shake
Based on your mistake
you'll take the fall
And then you'll kill us all
So shut in, can't get out,
(You know now) Everybody's worried (hey now) about that atom bomb
(Well) No one seems worried about the day my Lord shall come
(You'd better) Set your house in order (fore he) he may be coming soon
(And then he'll) hit like an atom bomb, when he comes, when he comes
In nineteen hundred and forty-five
The atom bomb became alive
In nineteen hundred and forty-nine
The USA got very wise
They found that a country from across the line
Had an atom bomb of the very same kind
The people got worried all over the land
Just like the people did in Japan
God told Elias to send down fire
To send down fire from the sky
He showed old Noah how the rainow signs
And there wouldn't be water for next time
(You know that) Everybody's worried (hey now) about that atom bomb
(Hey, hey) No one seems worried about the day my Lord shall come
(You'd better) Set your house in order (for he) he may be coming soon
(And he'll) hit like an atom bomb, when he comes, when he comes
Now don't you get worried just bare in mind
Trust in Jesus and ye shall find
Peace and happiness, joy, devine
Will King Jesus on the line
God told Elijah to send down fire
Send down fire from the sky
He said he would, and I believe he will
God'll fight your battles if you just keep still
(You know that) Everybody's worried (hey now) about that atom bomb
(Well) No one seems worried about the day my Lord shall come
(You'd better) Set your house in order (for he) he may be coming soon
(And he'll) hey, hey, hey, hey my Lord (you know he'll)
hit like an atom bomb, when he comes, when he comes
(You know now) Everybody's worried (hey now) about that atom bomb
(Hey now) No one seems worried about the day my Lord shall come
(You'd better) Set your house in order (for he) he may be coming soon
(And he'll) hey, hey, hey, hey my Lord you know he'll
