    Fun fact; when Richard J. Gatling invented the basis of the modern machine gun with the Gatling Gun, his mindset was that because of how deadly it could be, no man would ever want to stand against it, so it would bring an end to all wars. Obviously, that proved untrue. A lot of weapons supposedly meant to stop war entirely have proven to only make it worse. Only the atomic bomb has been able to prove that standard, but at cost of its use potentially being the end of all humanity.

By definition, fissile material can sustain a chain reaction with neutrons of thermal energy. The predominant neutron energy may be typified by either slow neutrons (i.e., a thermal system) or fast neutrons.

    @Mr. Terry History, the line "I'm here to split U like 2 & 3 from 5" is a brilliant double entendre. U235 is the fissile material used to make weapons grade Uranium and U238 was used via neutron absorbion to make weapons grade PU239. Also 2 & 5 make 5 if you split 5 into 2 parts mathematically.
    To further elaborate on the evolution of nuclear weapons...
    Generation 1: Gun Type, uses 2 U235/PU239 enriched halves in a cylinder, behind each is composition 4 (C4) explosive, once detonated it hurdles both halves at incredible speeds and they cause a fission reaction when they collide. Fission Implosion Type, which is a bit different and way more complex as it uses a U238 reflector/tamper device which surrounds the PU239 "pit" and when the explosive mass in the bomb is detonated criticality is achieved via implosion, this is an EXTREMELY condensed answer as implosion bombs are considerably more complex and efficient than their "gun type" counterparts. In fact 3rd world countries could easily assemble a "gun type" nuclear weapon, the hardest part would actually be the enrichment of the U238/PU239 to weapons grade.
    Generation 2: Fusion Boosted Fission Weapon (Thermonuclear Device), These are incredibly complex weapons and use the Teller-Ulam fission/fusion radiation implosion method. In radiation implosion, the burst of X-ray energy coming from an exploding primary is captured and contained within an opaque-walled radiation channel which surrounds the nuclear energy components of the secondary. The radiation quickly turns the plastic foam that had been filling the channel into a plasma which is mostly transparent to X-rays, and the radiation is absorbed in the outermost layers of the pusher/tamper surrounding the secondary, which ablates and applies a massive force causing the fusion fuel capsule to implode much like the pit of the primary. As the secondary implodes a fissile "spark plug" at its center ignites and provides neutrons and heat which enable the lithium deuteride fusion fuel to produce tritium and ignite as well. The fission and fusion chain reactions exchange neutrons with each other and boost the efficiency of both reactions. The greater implosive force, enhanced efficiency of the fissile "spark plug" due to boosting via fusion neutrons, and the fusion explosion itself provide significantly greater explosive yield from the secondary despite often not being much larger than the primary. (Source: Wikipedia used for brief explanation).
    Generation 3: (Current Generation), developed and tested during the cold war and unlike their 1 & 2nd generation relatives that are omnidirectional, 3rd Generation are experimental special effect warheads and devices that can release energy in a focused directed manner this can make a smaller yield warhead much more destructive and even defeat some hardened nuclear bunkers such as missile silos. Not many of these weapons even exist currently, and thankfully.
    Generation 4: (Coming VERY SOON) These nuclear weapons are generally pure fusion weapons and antimatter-catalyzed nuclear pulse propulsion-like devices, which are being studied in depth by the top 5 nuclear capable countries, the 3 most prominent being the USA, Russia, and China. There is also a theory in testing using nanotechnology to produce miniaturized laser-triggered pure fusion weapons that would be considerably easier to produce than conventional nuclear weapon designs.

    If you haven't already, you should watch the Behind The Scenes on this one. The guys apparently did a ton of research on Oppenheimer, including watching a bunch of video. While I loved the battle (always do, ERB is awesome), the insight I got from watching the BTS was pretty dope.

    The "all up in your stinky" line was a reference to a theory that Ant-Man could've easily killed Thanos by shrinking, climbing into Thanos's butt, and then expanding.

    "I'm here to split you like 2 and 3 from 5" that line wrecks it. Oppenheimer for the win.

    4:12, I know that Dr. Manhattan is a comic book character but it’s also clever in that Dr. Oppenheimer’s efforts to create an atomic bomb were known as the Manhattan Project

    Oppenheimer totally took it in my opinion. Not just in his lines, but in his demeanor, voice acting, and that thousand yard stare Nice Peter put into it...

    Someone has probably said this already but the line involving "2 and 3 from 5" is pretty deep in that it is a reference to the unstable (fissionable) isotope of Uranium that is used in Nuclear weapons that has to be extracted from the common isotope U238. The extraction of this lighter isotope was and remains one of the biggest problems of obtaining fissionable material requiring the extraction of the material using teflon-lined gas centrifuges within which Uranium in the form of the incredibly dangerous Uraniumhexaflouride gas is circulated to obtain the desired isotope which is less than one percent of the mass of any sample of Uranium.
    Oppenheimer did die of laryngeal cancer.
    Oppenheimer's intelligence? The man taught himself Sanskrit so he could read the Baghavad Ghita. So yeah, he was no dummy.
    One of the better arguments for the use of the atomic bomb is Paul Fussell's "Thank God for the Atom Bomb and other essays."
    I, too, think of Oppenheimer as the victor. He at least was real.

    OH SNAP! - I think that might be the best finishing line in ERBs so far. At least top 5. It works on several levels.

    There wouldn't be a Thanos without Oppenheimer. Thanos had to be inspired by something, regardless of how "bad" or "good" anything is or isn't as well as if people agree with said thing.
