Oppenheimer’s famous reference of the Bhagavad Gita quote years later is true in a much deeper way. Atomic power could yet be a destroyer of our world in a literal sense, but it’s already destroyed our world as we’ve known it for millennia.

Trinity was a paradox. It was a quirk of history that at that moment the energy of the atom was engineered to kill. The longer legacy of that day will be much greater than “the Bomb.” 80 years ago the world stepped into the epoch of the galactic.

For instance, imagine the effect of figuring out the way to get to and mine an asteroid that ends the competition over rare earth minerals. Rare “earth” won’t matter anymore. All that with a population that increasingly lives close to twice the lifespan we do now.
