	Trinity test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The "Trinity" test was the first test of a nuclear weapon, conducted by the United States on July 16, 1945 at 33.675° N 106.475° W, thirty miles (48 km) southeast of Socorro on what is now White Sands Missile Range, headquartered near Alamogordo, New Mexico.
		The results of the test were conveyed to President Harry S. Truman and were used by him as leverage in his negotiations with the Soviet Union at the Potsdam Conference.
		In the years after the test, the pictures have become a potent symbol of the beginning of the so-called "atomic age", and the test has often been featured in popular culture.

	Talk:Trinity test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Test director Kenneth Bainbridge, in an attempt to be less poetic, or perhaps more so, was said to have replied, "Now we are all sons of bitches." According to Oppenheimer's brother, Frank, at the time of the test he simply said, "It worked."
		However there are some common aerial photos juxtaposing the Trinity test explosion and the 100T explosion in terms of magnitude which I'm sure were taken during the Manhattan Project and in the public domain.
		The large fl crater was the Trinity blast, the smaller explosion to the south-east of it was the crater of 100 tons of TNT.

		The 10-minute, one-step test is for the detection of HIV antibodies in human serum, plasma, or whole blood, and is the only test approved for use in all three sample types.
		Trinity's test is also approved for use in the World Health Organization's HIV testing program in Africa, where the company sells four million tests per year.

		The test director, Kenneth Bainbridge, called the explosion a "foul and awesome display" and remarked to Oppenheimer, "Now we are all sons of bitches." Expressions of horror and remorse are especially common in the later writings of those who were present.
		The success of the Trinity test meant that both types of bombs -- the uranium design, untested but thought to be reliable, and the plutonium design, which had just been tested successfully -- were now available for use in the war against Japan.

	Safety and the Trinity Test, July 1945
		The "Trinity" atomic test was the most violent man–made explosion in history to that date.
		Understanding this, test planners chose a flat, desert scrub region in the northwest corner of the isolated Alamogordo Bombing Range in south central New Mexico for the test.
		The test was more efficient than expected, and little fallout initially dropped on the test site beyond 1,200 yards of ground zero.

	The official Trinity Test site - Boston Metal Band
		Trinity Test is a metal band from Boston, MA that redefines conventions of extreme music by placing them in entirely new contexts.
		An unusually high level of technical proficiency and formal musical training among the members, combined with their well-developed chemistry from playing together in various incarnations for nearly a decade, has allowed the group to produce sounds that fuse elements of progressive, thrash, and death metal to create a sound that can not be easily characterized.
		In a time where explosive sounds are often thrown together chaotically and passed off as "experimental," Trinity Test takes the process further, refining their experiments until achieving devastatingly precise results.
