Devastation, destruction, terror, and straight up fear, is what people would’ve seen if they visited Nagasaki or Hiroshima after the atomic bomb was dropped on those cities. The number of scientists who were involved in the development of the atomic bomb is unbelievable. The bombs were very unique objects, whether it was the size of the bomb, or even the amount of explosives inside. The names of the atomic bombs will forever be remembered for the chaos they brought to Japan. The decision to drop the bombs was one of the most difficult things President Truman had to do during his Presidency.
In the case of People of Hinkley vs. PG&E all three tests could apply, but I will asses the unbroken chain: The Hinkley PG&E plant knowingly dumped hexavalent chromium into the ground without lining the pools, the chemical seeped into the ground and infiltrated the water system, the people of Hinkley used the water and became sick. Injury: A plaintiff’s personal injury or damage to their property that enables them compensates monetary damages. In “Erin Brockavich” the people of Hinkley are diagnosed with various illnesses and injury including nosebleeds, headaches, and cancer which were brought on by exposure to the hexavalent
The Highwaymen were the scandalous criminals that patrolled the highways and traffic roads to scavenge for useful goods. “With the use of the Hydrogen Bomb, the Christian era was dead, and with it must die the tradition of the good Samaritan” (page 84). After the many atomic bombs destroyed Orlando and other major cities, the survivors went against each other and become either hostile criminals or bystanders trying yo avoid to confliction. “Some nations and some people melt in the heat of crisis and come apart like fat in the pan” (page 132). The villainous Highwaymen, drug addicts, and gangsters all came apart at the seams when their lifestyles changed for the worse.
TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME 3 Toxic Shock Syndrome was first discovered around twenty years ago. It was quickly linked to the use of super absorbent tampons which were consequently taken off the market. One theory states that the tampons were creating small cuts in the vagina which allowed the bacteria to sneak in. Another theory says that while using tampons the blood stays stagnant. This is a perfect breeding ground for the bacteria.
Face powders, rouges, and mascaras; a sweet and sour condiment for seasoning food;a wine preservative and an inexpensive ingredient in pewter cups, plates, pitchers, pots and pans, its use was common place in the Roman Empire. (Lead Poisoning: A Historical Perspective by Jack Lewis [EPA Journal - May 1985]). In the early twentieth century, use of lead based petrol and paints were prevalent. This led to the health of entire societies being compromised. The banning of lead based paints in the manufacturing of children’s toys and products in 1962, followed by the ban of its use in paints for residential areas in 1978 in the USA, paved the way for other countries to soon follow suit.
More recently, there was Hitler's genocidal six-million-death final solution to the Jewish problem, and the Communists' ten of millions of mass murders continue to this day. All this has been done without benefit of nuclear power. Many made comments came at the beginning of the atomic or nuclear age, and while the source and the judgment deserve respect, experience has shown that nuclear power in Western hands deterred a third world war and ultimately caused the collapse of the greatest
Global Irregularities are more common because of the green house gasses that are being released into the atmosphere (Chandler 4) Although this disaster of fluctuating temperatures is most commonly known as Global Warming, it really just depletes the natural insulation of earth. This lack of insulation and fluctuating temperatures, have been considered signs of the end of the world in 2012. Another current problem for humanity is the disappearance of bees. Albert Einstein once said: ‘If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.’...On the West Coast keepers have seen bee population losses in the 30 to 60 percent range.
John Hersey’s Hiroshima is a novel about the day America dropped the atomic bomb and the after effects. It was the greatest single manmade disaster in history. Hiroshima started the day like any other normal city; people were trying to live their lives like there was not a war going on. But the fear of being the next target swept through Hiroshima, other cities were air raided by B-29 also known as Mr. B. Constant air-raid warnings went off every time a United States weather plane flew by.
Children and some women were evacuated from the big cities into the countryside. People carried gas masks to protect themselves and built air raid shelters. All windows and doors were blacked out. The Second World War was started by Germany in an unprovoked attack on Poland. Britain and France declared war on Germany after Hitler had refused to abort his invasion of Poland.
In 1935, Erwin Schrödinger, the Nobel Prize winning quantum physicist, developed a well-known thought experiment. His set-up presents a box that encases a cat, a flask of poison, a radioactive material (that has an equal probability of decaying or not decaying within an hour) and a Geiger counter (an instrument that is able to detect radioactivity) that is hooked up to the flask of poison. If the radioactive material begins to decay within an hour, the Geiger counter will receive a signal and release the poison from its flask, killing the cat, and conversely, if the substance doesn’t decompose within the same hour, the poison will not be released and the cat survives. After the hour is consumed the researcher opens the box to find what results were produced, he either finds that the cat is alive or that he is dead. However, as long as the examiner does not open the box, the cat is both alive and dead, it is in a superposition.
