If it wasn’t for silver, the US may not have been able to create the uranium bomb. Silver’s electrical properties are better than the properties of other types of metal. During WWII, the army melted down large amounts of silver and formed them into coils. They then magnetized the coils. The magnets separated different types of uranium. This is important because only one type of uranium can be used to make uranium bombs. Want to read more? Click here.
Without the uranium bomb, we wouldn’t have stopped the Japanese from expanding there empire through Pacific Ocean and claiming the shores of America. This technology which was new at the time made the uranium bomb not only possible, but easier to make. Through the power of physics we saved America from the Japanese.
