J. Robert Oppenheimer said or quoted this at the time of the first nuclear test. According to the Wikipedia articles on him: In reference to the Trinity test in New Mexico, where his Los Alamos team first tested the bomb, Oppenheimer famously recalled the Bhagavad Gita: "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. Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Oppenheimer (accessed 15 October 2008.
