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.
