It varies from country but I’ll focus on the US because they actually developed it first. It was a long and tedious process. This was all completely new and everything was theoretical. There were several small scale tests that were done at first that proved that it would be possible. The first bomb that would later be dropped on Hiroshima was made from uranium. The process of refining the uranium to make the bomb took a very long time especially because the ordinary factory workers that refined it didn’t actually know what they were doing. The second bomb that was made out of plutonium and would be dropped on Nagasaki was much quicker to produce but much harder to find plutonium to use. The majority of the scientists that spearheaded the bomb in Las Almos New Mexico didn’t even know exactly what they were making. They all worked on separate projects and then a few of the top scientists like Robert Oppenheimer would focus on assembling the various projects into an actual working bomb. In summary it was an incredibly secret project and took a very long time because it was something that had never been done before. The scientists who worked on it were skeptical because at first they thought of it just as an experiment and a scientific breakthrough. Then when the first test happened and it was revealed what this bomb could really do the scientists truly realized what they had created. It did so much damage and because of that they started to become skeptical of their creation. It would kill (and did) millions. As Oppenheimer would later put it after the bombing of Hiroshima to president Truman, “I have the blood of millions on my hands.”
Anyway I hope this helped. If this is for a school and you just need an answer that’s fine but if you are interested about this in general I recommend “Bomb” by Steve Shienken. It’s a good book and very factual and interesting.
The House of Wisdom (Arabic: بيت الحكمة, romanized: Bayt al-Ḥikmah), also known as the Grand Library of Baghdad, refers to either a major Abbasid public academy and intellectual center in Baghdad or to a large private library belonging to the Abbasid Caliphs during the Islamic Golden Age.[1][2] The House of Wisdom is the subject of an active dispute over its functions and existence as a formal academy, an issue complicated by a lack of physical evidence following the collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate and a reliance on corroboration of literary sources to construct a narrative. The House of Wisdom was founded either as a library for the collections of the Caliph Harun al-Rashid in the late 8th century (then later turn
<em>Rhetorical Devices </em>are<em> techniques that uses specific structure in sentences</em> to persuade the audience or to obtain the desired effect.
The correct options are:
<em>2. Without a solution, we are in trouble. Without a solution, the trouble will be great. </em>
Rhetorical Device: Anaphora
In the option 2 the writer uses Anaphora, <u>which consists in repeating the same words </u>(In this case "Without a solution") a<u>t the beginning of successive sentences,</u> this rhetorical device is often used in speeches to emphasize an idea.
<em>3. We do not need a solution right away, since two days is plenty of time to solve this global issue. </em>
Rhetorical Device: Verbal Irony
In option 3 the writer uses Verbal Irony,<u> which consists in saying something opposite to what you truly mean</u>. In verbal irony there must be an indication that the meaning was not meant, in this case the writer says <em>"two days is plenty of time to solve this global issue"</em> as an indication that a solution right away is actually needed, and that the writer is being ironic.
