The Los Alamos guys were laying bets on what would happen when the Trinity device went off. This ranged from "wet firecracker" to "igniting the atmosphere". (I've read ahead, it was something in between.)
My question is, would it be possible to build an atomic bomb that could actually "ignite the atmosphere", or have we learned that such a device is essentially impossible?
