Perhaps you've heard of the U.S. project to develop an atomic bomb during World War Two. It (called the Manhattan Project) was at a New Mexico site called Los Alamos. However, just before taking the bomb to the test site, the facility was destroyed in what appears to have been an atomic blast, presumably from a premature detonation. (It is unclear how this could have happened, however, do to extensive safety precautions at the site). What would have happened if the bomb had not detonated, resulting in the survival of Los Alamos? Would the United States have used an atomic bomb in the war? How would this impact history?
