Question

What do you think Robert Oppenheimer meant by “we knew the world would not be the same”? Do you think there are any circumstances in which weapons of mass destruction can ever be justified? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

He meant that through the witnessed destruction of nuclear bomb at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the world might have not wanted to engage in making weapons of massive destruction.

There can never be circumstances where making of weapons of massive destruction can be justified because such weapons easily fuel wars and their effects are far reaching.
