BOMBA ATOMICA

Avete presente lo slogan falsissimo di una pubblicità che circolava alcuni anni fa, quello che diceva "Imparare non è mai stato così divertente"?

Tom Stevenson, "A Tiny Sun" (review of Fred Kaplan, The Bomb: Presidents, Generals, and the Secret History of Nuclear War, Simon and Schuster, 2021, 384 pp. Filmed in Italy and Egypt, it stars the Italian comic duo of Franco and Ciccio and was directed by Lucio Fulci. Lise Meitner and Otto Robert Frisch correctly interpreted these results as being due to the splitting of the uranium atom. Ernest Rutherford and Frederick Soddy identified that atoms were breaking down and turning into different elements.

Since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, nuclear weapons have been detonated over 2,000 times for testing and demonstration. Nuclear Weapon Archive from Carey Sublette: reliable source, has links to other sources and an informative FAQ. In 1996, the International Court of Justice, the highest court of the United Nations, issued an Advisory Opinion concerned with the " Legality of the Threat or Use of Nuclear Weapons". The ethics of these bombings and their role in Japan's surrender are to this day, still subjects of debate.

La parte finale dedicata a raccontare esempi di vite di persone che si trovavano a Hiroshima e di come la bomba abbia mutato le loro vite ma di come alcuni non si siano arressi davanti l'oscurità di quanto accaduto. In Paris in 1934, Irène and Frédéric Joliot-Curie discovered that artificial radioactivity could be induced in stable elements by bombarding them with alpha particles; in Italy Enrico Fermi reported similar results when bombarding uranium with neutrons. Weapons whose explosive output is exclusively from fission reactions are commonly referred to as atomic bombs or atom bombs (abbreviated as A-bombs). Most variation in nuclear weapon design is for the purpose of achieving different yields for different situations, and in manipulating design elements to attempt to minimize weapon size, [11] radiation hardness or requirements for special materials, especially fissile fuel or tritium. In August 1939, concerned that Germany might have its own project to develop fission-based weapons, Albert Einstein signed a letter to U.Ballistic missile submarines have been of great strategic importance for the United States, Russia, and other nuclear powers since they entered service in the Cold War, as they can hide from reconnaissance satellites and fire their nuclear weapons with virtual impunity.

Questo libro rispecchia perfettamente questo tipo di divulgazione: un insieme di aneddoti che si susseguono fino a portare a una delle tragedie peggiori della storia umana troppo spesso dimenticata. The Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (1963) restricted all nuclear testing to underground nuclear testing, to prevent contamination from nuclear fallout, whereas the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (1968) attempted to place restrictions on the types of activities signatories could participate in, with the goal of allowing the transference of non-military nuclear technology to member countries without fear of proliferation. By the 1960s, steps were taken to limit both the proliferation of nuclear weapons to other countries and the environmental effects of nuclear testing. In the late 1940s, lack of mutual trust prevented the United States and the Soviet Union from making progress on arms control agreements. Mercadini, al solito suo, riesce a raccontarci in modo poetico e coinvolgente, le varie strade giuste rivelatesi poi sbagliate e quelle sbagliate rivelatesi poi giuste (se di giusto si può parlare), in un intreccio di temi, personaggi e storie che personalmente ho divorato in due giorni.

L'autore, che ne è anche narratore vocale, ci accompagna nel tempo della storia, nelle dinamiche che hanno governato le relazioni tra gli uomini e le donne protagonisti.
