Chii chakanga chiri Manhattan Project mukati meHondo Yenyika II?
Context:Muna June 1942, U.S. Army yakatanga Manhattan Project kuti iite basa rayo rokugadzira bhomba reatomu uye yakatanga basa rokutamisa mutoro wacho kubva kuOffice of Scientific Research and Development uchienda kumasoja. Muna September, Groves akagadzwa kuva mutungamiriri wechakazozivikanwa seManhattan Project. Akasarudza Oppenheimer kuti atungamirire rabhoritari yezvombo zvakavanzika zvepurogiramu yacho. Iyi sarudzo yakashamisa vakawanda, nokuti Oppenheimer aiva nemaonero ezvematongerwe enyika okuruboshwe uye akanga asina chinyorwa somutungamiriri wemapurojekiti makuru. Groves ainetseka nenyaya yokuti Oppenheimer akanga asina mubayiro weNobel uye angadai asina kuva nomukurumbira wokutungamirira vamwe vasayendisiti. Asi akaororwa nokunzwisisa kwaOppenheimer kunoshamisa kwezvinhu zvinoshanda zvokugadzira nokuvaka bhomba reatomu uye nokukura kwezivo yake. Sainjiniya wechiuto, Groves aiziva kuti izvi zvaizova zvinokosha zvikuru mupurogiramu yokudzidza zvinhu zvakasiyana-siyana yaizobatanidza kwete bedzi fizikisi, asi kemisitiri, simbi, zvombo uye unyanzvi. Groves akawanawo pana Oppenheimer chimwe chinhu chakanga chisina kuitwa nevamwe vakawanda, "kuda chinzvimbo kwakanyanyisa" uko Groves akafunga kuti kwaizopa simba rinodiwa kuti basa racho ribudirire. Isidor Rabi akaona kugadzwa kwacho se"chiito chaicho cheuchenjeri chaGeneral Groves, uyo akanga asingawanzofungidzirwi kuva munhu akangwara".
Manhattan Project yakanga iri basa rokutsvakurudza nokuvandudza rakatangwa nemauto eU.S. mukati mehondo yenyika yechipiri kuti agadzire zvombo zvenyukireya zvokutanga. Nyanzvi yefizikisi yenyukireya Robert Oppenheimer akanga ari mutungamiriri weLos Alamos Laboratory iyo yakagadzira mabhomba chaiwoiwo. Leslie Groves pakutanga akanga asina kugutsikana kuti Oppenheimer aigona kutungamirira vamwe vasayendisiti, asi akaororwa kuti Oppenheimer akanga ane kunzwisisa kwakakwana kwenyaya yacho kutungamirira izvi kuva bhomba reatomu chairo. Nemhaka yechimiro chendangariro chefundo yacho, Oppenheimer aivawo nechishuvo chakakomba chokuona basa racho richipedzwa.
