I had a first year’s physics class where we convinced our professor to walk through how to create a nuclear bomb of the two main types.
He was a young physicist at the Manhattan Project and told us stories of that as well… like the worry of igniting the oxygen of the planet’s atmosphere, how he didn’t worry being at blast site but grew concerned the farther he got (but inside dangerous radius), how the guards lost their shit and dropped their guns and ran when it went off (and the physicists cheer and looked at the panels instead of the slit window).

Good times.
