Nearby in the darkness, something hangs atop a steel tower... a bomb. Today they will test it. The test is code-named Trinity. The inspiration... John Donne, Robert Oppenheimer's favorite poet. One of the premier scientists of his age, Oppenheimer loved literature and the desert of the Southwest. He was a peaceful man, who just happened to have created and coordinated the most destructive weapon in all history. <...> At 5:29 and 45 seconds, the bomb detonates. The light is brighter than the sun. Observing the explosion, Oppenheimer recalls a line from the hindu scripture, "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." This terrifying weapon would launch the United States on a journey, turning the refuge of the founding fathers into a militarized state.
