Atomic Age

The Atomic Age began after the development and successful use of nuclear energy and atomic bombs in the mid-20th century. It marked a period of rapid scientific advancement, where nuclear technology impacted various fields, including medicine, energy, and military defense. While it offered promises of cheap, powerful energy, it also introduced concerns about safety, environmental impact, and nuclear proliferation. The Atomic Age transformed global politics, leading to Cold War nuclear arms race, and changed how societies viewed energy and scientific responsibility, shaping modern views on nuclear power and technology.
