In a memorable scene from the film Oppenheimer, scientists making the first atomic weapon keep a tally of the special materials they will need – enriched uranium and plutonium – by dropping marbles into glass bowls. When the bowls are full they will have enough to build the bomb. Although the film pays it only fleeting reference, the manufacturing effort required to make the metals was colossal, consuming the lion's share of the Manhattan Project's $2 billion – in 1940s dollars – budget. It gave the United States and Britain, America's key ally in the project, a crucial head start in making not only the atomic bomb but also the industrial apparatus needed to make fuel for civil nuclear power plants.

HONG KONG – Asian stocks shook off earlier losses on Tuesday, helped by assurances that Beijing would support flagging growth in the world's second-largest economy, which helped investors shift their focus away from risks around interest rates and Russia. The Chinese yuan also perked up significantly as central bank guidance sent a clear warning to traders that authorities were becoming less tolerant of the currency's recent weakness. The shift in mood helped MSCI's gauge of Asia Pacific stocks outside Japan widen gains to 0.

Is Ethics Like Math? By Frank B. Farrell August 16, 2023 Philosophers today are typically unknown outside their discipline, but within it, Derek Parfit, who died in 2017, was considered one of the most important figures of the past fifty years. He had an extraordinary knack for revealing the hidden weaknesses of common moral theories. We may believe, for example, that an action is wrong only if it causes harm to particular individuals. But consider our relation to future generations.
