Nobel Laureates at University of Chicago Mark 80th Trinity Test Anniversary with Nuclear Risk Warnings and Bob Dylan Song Release

On the 80th anniversary of the Trinity Test, a landmark moment in nuclear history, a group of Nobel laureates and nuclear experts convened at the University of Chicago to discuss the ongoing risks of nuclear war. The event featured remarks from prominent figures including 2004 Nobel Laureate in Physics David Gross and physics professor Daniel Holz, who emphasized the catastrophic potential of nuclear conflict, warning that civilization could end within an hour. The Nobel Laureate Assembly for the Prevention of Nuclear War hosted a livestream to share insights and policy recommendations aimed at reducing nuclear threats. Additionally, a new release of Bob Dylan's song "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall" was launched by a star-studded group of musicians including the Kronos Quartet, highlighting the urgency of the nuclear risk message. The gathering also recalled the contributions of 26 scientists from the original atomic bomb project, many of whom were Nobel Prize winners.
