About twenty minute video on why the Manhattan Project, the World War II program that developed the first atomic bombs and reactors, is unusual among major inventions and discoveries both before and since. It was unusual in the number of major inventions and discoveries made in a few years and even more in that the first prototypes, the first full system tests (the Trinity bomb test in July 1945 and the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945) succeeded. Discusses the probable reason for this anomalous success and how it has led to inflated expectations for "New Manhattan Projects."
