This Is the Most Dangerous Object Ever Created
There has been conflict for as long as there have been people. While we might hope that in a millennium, we'll all have evolved into peaceful, hoverboard-riding people, killing one another over whatever arguments are hot this decade is inescapably going to be a fundamental aspect of our nature. The atomic bombs of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the close of World War II were likely the most horrific acts of violence ever committed by humans against people. The codes for the weapons that unleashed this massive carnage were "little boy" and "fat man," respectively. They together claimed around two hundred thousand lives. It's common knowledge that these two bombs were crucial in bringing an end to World War II, but what may not be as well known is that they were almost a trio. While the world was still processing the extent of the destruction that a fat man and a small child had unleashed on Japan, another atomic weapon was being completed in Los Alamos, the home of the Manhattan Project. If Japan had not submitted to the allies on August 15, 1945, this third weapon was scheduled to be dropped on an unidentified Japanese city in just four days.
