The Gadget - The world's first nuclear device (a plutonium bomb) was detonated on July 16, 1945, at 5:29 AM on the top of 30 metre tower. The site of the test was 210 miles south of Los Alamos, New Mexico, on the plains of the Alamogordo Bombing Range. The code name for the test was "Trinity." At the time of detonation, the surrounding mountains were illuminated "brighter than daytime" for two seconds, and the heat was reported as "being as hot as an oven" at the base camp. "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." -Robert Oppenheimer A model of the first nuucelar device. #wip #model #diorama #miniature

My miniature version of THE GOD HELMET. In 2013 I had the opportunity to interview professor Michael A. Persinger (Ph.D., C.Psych.) from Laurentian University for a documentary. I heard about his work through a childhood friend (Charles Cook) @dumpjack who was his student in the 1990s. In fact, if it weren’t for knowing Charles, I would not have got the interview. In the mid to late 1990s, it was the peak time of X-Files, alien abduction stories, ghosts, and everything Fortean in nature --and at Laurentian, they studied these aspects with actual scientific experiments. To me, this was absolutely wild, and it totally intrigued me. Usually, science is very conservative, but this was ‘fringe’ science that explored the limits of the human brain. The God helmet was featured on several TV shows like Unsolved Mysteries, Nova, and Horizon. The helmet was an experimental apparatus that was created by Stanley Koren and neuroscientist Michael Persinger. In basic terms, it worked by introducing a complex patterned pulsed magnetic signal (extremely low frequency and low-intensity magnetic field) to the head of the person that wore it. Its purpose was to study creativity and religious experience by subtly stimulating the temporal lobes, as one of Persinger's most famous hypotheses suggested that mystical experiences were associated with the temporal lobes of the human brain. Some of the participants that wore the God helmet occasionally reported a sensed presence. #miniature #modelmaking #diorama #conceptual #neuroscience #godhelmet #sudbury
