He claims that he quoted the Hindu scripture "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." Whether he actually did, or just thought it, or later decided he should have said that is not completely clear. Many scientists on the project edited their comments from that day when they recorded it in journals and formal documents.

Why does splitting an atom create an explosion?
Splitting an atom creates an explosion because it releases a large amount of energy in a short amount of time. This energy is released in the form of heat and radiation, causing a rapid and powerful expansion of gases, resulting in an explosion.
Why does splitting the atom create a nuclear explosion?
Splitting an atom (fission) releases energy and more than one neutron. If there is a nearby atom, the neutron can cause the atom to split, releasing more neutrons. The "chain reaction" proceeds exponentially. At each split more energy is released. Eventually the energy is sufficient to wipe out whole cities: an explosion.
How does an atom get split in a atom bomb?
The fast neutron chain reaction triggers multiple fissions at an exponentially increasing rate. This happens so rapidly that all the fissions needed to release the energy for the explosion have split in an interval of time on the order of 10 microseconds.
Father of atom bomb?
The father of the atom bomb is generally considered to be physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer. He was the scientific director of the Manhattan Project. And you know why the Manhattan Project was created and what they did. A link can be found below to the Wikipedia post on Dr. Oppenheimer.
What is stronger a nuke or atom bomb?
A nuclear bomb and an atomic bomb are actually the same thing. Both terms refer to a type of explosive device that releases energy by nuclear reactions. The power of the explosion depends on the type of nuclear reactions involved and the amount of fissile material present in the bomb.
When and where India explored the first atom blast?
India's first atomic explosion was at Pokhran, an area in Rajasthan state.
With the development of what weapon is J Robert Oppenheimer assocaited?

How did they make the first Atomic Bomb Manhatton Project?
by dividing an atom leading to a microscopic domino effect creating into a large explosion.
