Cracking the Code of Oppenheimer's Enigmatic Secret City
"Now I am become death.” “The destroyer of worlds.” P.O. Box 1663 was listed as a Santa Fe, New Mexico address in 1943. And over the next few years, about 300 babies had it listed as their place of birth on their birth certificates. Because the real location was a secret. Everything sent to that P.O. box ended up here: 33 miles from Santa Fe at a site also known as P.O. Box 180, Project Y, and Los Alamos, New Mexico. A secret city had been built there. And it was home to a community of scientists. “Scientists of many nations.” The scientists who created the first nuclear bomb. They lived a couple of hundred miles from the site where their invention would be tested. “New Mexico desert.” Trinity. How did laboratory director J. Robert Oppenheimer end up building a town and testing the first nuclear bomb here?

He Traveled in time
The time traveler movies may have made you thought about going on a time travel. I'm sure that thought crossed all our minds.

Time travel has been a staple of science fiction, depicted in literature and movies, showing both the benefits and inherent risks of that possibility. However, does time travel have any real potential, and if so, what prerequisites must be met to achieve it?
