Quote:
Robert Oppenheimer was a man well versed in Sanskrit. He used to read ancient Hindu scriptures and had an acute eye for the scientific and philosophical gems therein. His statement '...first nuclear explosion in modern times ' was given after the twin nuclear blasts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. He was the head of the Los Alamos Laboratory whose job was to bring this nuclear bomb to reality. So in his statement he is actually referring to Mahabharata. He quoted Lord Krishna's words ' I have become Kaal, the destroyer of worlds'. This because he was guilt ridden about the scale of destruction. As to the nuclear explosion in modern times, he firmly believed that weapons of destruction on such a scale and maybe even more were already being used in the battle of Kurushketra.1
