Look at my post, it directly says that Oppenheimer quoted Robert Jungk's/

 

Click here and scroll down a bit, and you'll see the following quote. I'm not sure if its been posted yet though.

The exact quote from the Bhagavad-Gita is:

If the radiance of a thousand suns
Were to burst at once into the sky
That would be like the splendor of the Mighty one...
I am become Death,
The shatterer of Worlds.

 

"Now I am become death
The destroyer of the worlds, come to annihilate everyone"

Another translation I saw of just that one part.

 

The shatterer of worlds would be a cool album name

 

yay for me

 

Oppenheimer came up with the name "trinity" from John Donne's "Holy Sonnets".....a series of poems that were never published. Maybe some information to be had in here?-->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Sonnets

 

Tell me who are You in such a fierce form? My salutations to You, O best of gods, be merciful! I wish to understand You, the primal Being, because I do not know Your mission.

The Supreme Lord said: I am death, the mighty destroyer of the world, out to destroy. Even without your participation all the warriors standing arrayed in the opposing armies shall cease to exist.

Therefore, get up and attain glory. Conquer your enemies and enjoy a prosperous kingdom. All these (warriors) have already been destroyed by Me. You are only an instrument, O Arjuna.

There's the entire passage. Are we supposed to connect the incorrect translations and the Gita quote or are they two separate things to do?

also, go here, there's an entire learn decicated to this

http://forum.maidenfans.com/index.php?topic=12995.0 IT seem interesting to me. It's about the gita and what not

 

What if Linkin Park changed teh quote from the Brav just as Oppenheimber paraphrased it. Hinted at the fact that you can never get Thousand suns out of de var to.

What if it's supposed to be something like
"If the radiance of joy were to burst forth at once in the sky, that would be like the splendour of the Mighty One. The sound is mighty, world-destroying Time."

 

Combining what Rob Walker got correct, and attempting a different guess at the things Mike said needed to be fixed:

Rob Walker said:
Google Translate each word....
Falls = Falls, If, or In Case
la = The, Her, A, or It
luminosité = Brightness, Luminosity, Radiance, Lucidity, or Radiancy
de = Germany
var = Was
to = To
ontplof = Explode
edastada = Forward
sekaligus = At once, All at once, At a time, At one blow, Outright, holus-bolus, En bloc
airean, = to air
that = That
sería = noble or serious
kuin = As, Like, Than, or But
de = The or Ye
pracht = Splendor, Magnificence, Grandeur, Pomp, Brilliance, Wealth, Sheen, Brilliancy, or Eclat
Come = come
Yang kuat= mighty, strong
Lo sono= I am
mäktig, powerful
terra-zerstören = Terra-Destroy
tyd. = Time


this is what I came up with.

 

It turns out wikitionary is better translating than google

check it out. we have more words.

 

Okay, here we go. This is fun. It's a spiral.

Oppenheimer quoted Robert Jungk's and Robert Jungk's quoted the Bhagavad-gita

"Whatever would Robert have said to his God about how he made war with the sun":
'On July 16, 1945, at 5:29:45 AM, a light "brighter than a thousand suns," filled the valley. As the now familiar mushroom cloud rose in to the sky, Oppenheimer quoted from Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-gita, "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds." The world had entered the nuclear age.'

source: http://www.atomicarchive.com/Photos/Trinity/index.shtml

so, it's the nuclear age, not the atomic age.

 

this hard...i think all of us could write a biography on J. Robert Oppenheimer by now after all the research we've done

>.<

 

i was thinking the same thing. hardcore history lesson

 

I do think the correction for arean is supposed to be "in the sky"

the post he quoted just used "Air"

 

Here is chester morphing



and yes i just made this pic XD

 

Here's a list of what we have to correct, and what the wrong translations were just in case anyone wanted a list right here.

de = The or Ye
airean, = Air
sería = Would
Come = Come, As, Like, Such as, How, As well as, Whereby, What...Like, For, Both...and, Such, What, or Sorry
Yang = Yang, kuat. = Strong (Mike posted this as one phrase)
Lo = It, Him, The or To it, sono = Sono (This too)
mäktig, = ???

 

haha nice. here is the one i have

 

damn did you make these dude?
