Did anything good come from the world’s first nuclear bomb test? Up until now most people would say “no,” but scientists studying the materials formed within that massive blast of heat may disagree after finding an unusual crystal that is brand new to science – because it’s ‘impossible’ in the world of crystals. Will it protect us against future nuclear blasts?
“This article reports the discovery of a heretofore unknown icosahedral quasicrystal created by the detonation of the first nuclear device at Alamogordo, NM, on 16 July 1945 (the Trinity test). Like all quasicrystals, the new example violates crystallographic symmetry rules that apply to ordinary (periodic) crystals. It was found in a sample of red trinitite, a combination of glass fused from natural sand and anthropogenic copper from transmission lines used during the test.”
The world had never seen so much destructive power.
And 75 years later, we’re still finding surprises amid the debris of that first nuclear blast, the Trinity test.

[ Editor’s Note: Stuart has a very full review in his article below on how we got to where we are now from a beginning orchestrated by the usual suspects. It is filled with gem historical quotes. I would advise readers to save this as it is the kind of material that Google breaks links to.
We are at the point where 20th century history has to be dispersed in order to be preserved. The millennials are currently showing no interest in these kinds of information battles. When Google rachets down the blocks and the bannings, it may have completed its strangle hold on inconvenient geopolitical history
