Albert Einstein Appears in Remarkably Colorized Video & Contemplates the Fate of Humanity After the Atomic Bomb (1946)
Fascinating time-travel to some conversation with / thoughts by #AlbertEinstein (colorized!).
We lived in one world before August 6, 1945, and have lived in another ever since. Nobody understood this more clearly than Albert Einstein, who had advocated for the research that culminated in that day. “A letter from Dr. Einstein in 1939 informed President Roosevelt that the Germans were engaged in the development of an atomic bomb and urged that science and technology in the United States be mobilized on a similar effort,” says a 1946 New York Times article. “This [1939] letter gave the first impetus to the development of the Atomic Bomb.” This story was included by way of context of a new call to action by Einstein and other prominent scientists, one meant to secure humanity’s future in a world with the bomb.
Einstein wrote that “I made one great mistake in my life — when I signed the letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made.” It’s one kind of ambition to change the mind of a politician, and quite another to change the mind of humanity.
" I do not know how the Third World War will be fought, but I can tell you what they will use in the Fourth -- rocks!" - Albert Einstein
A Climate of Betrayal

“All grimly true, but they can be sure that they won't be recorded for their crimes in history –
because there won't be any history” (Noam Chomsky)
According to the #clock of the #atomic #scientists it is 90 seconds to midnight.

L'écologie n'existera jamais, et encore moins sans la reconnaissance de l'écocide
Nous sommes une civilisation de détritus.
Un exemple parmi mille, bon appétit.

L'écocide ce n'est pas seulement l'interdiction de... la punition, mais aussi la réparation des préjudices.
ce qui invoque l'internationalité des procédures et la mise en commun de fonds monétaire incommensurable pour dépolluer et cela pour intervenir sur notre passé, dès le début du xxème siècle au sortir de la première guerre.

Never Forget / Hiroshima and Nagasaki
August 06 - 09, 1945
August 6th 1945 was just a regular day. Little did the citizens of Hiroshima know, but for thousands of them, life was about to come to an end. Hiroshima had been selected by the United States as the very first atomic bomb target. Nobody knew for certain what the effect would be. The single atomic bomb weighed 4 tons, which is 3,600 kilograms. The person who dropped the bomb was Major Tom Ferebee from the aircraft, the “Enola Gay”. The pilot who was flying the “Enola Gay” at the time was Colonel Paul Tibbets. The dropping happened just after 8:00 a.m. Less than a minute after the dropping, the atomic bomb exploded. The explosion produced a temperature of 5,400 Fahrenheit, which is twice as high as the melting point of iron. Victims' skin began to peel off their faces, hands, and arms. It has been estimated that people living within 1,100 yards (1km) of the bomb site burned to death. Survivors were in a state of shock. Dead and dying people lay all around Hiroshima. Hiroshima used to be a city of 245,000 people with only 150 doctors and 1,780 nurses. 65 doctors were killed and the rest were wounded, and 1,654 nurses were dead or wounded. At the biggest hospital, only 1 doctor out of 30 was uninjured and the nursing staff of over 200 was down to 10. Nobody knows the exact number of people who died in Hiroshima. Official figures estimated 100,000 died. However, due to radiation sicknes the estimate rose to 140,000 by the end of 1945. After the bombing, Japan rejected the United States’ ultimatum to surrender unconditionally, so America dropped a second bomb on Nagasaki on August 9, 1945. It is estimated that the bomb killed 80,000 people. Japan surrendered to the United States on August 14, 1945, eight days following the first bombing.
