මරණයට අත වැනූ යක්ෂ හරය | The Demon Core

හිරෝශිමා නාගසාකි විනාශයන් තරමට ම අති විසාල හානියක් කිරීමට තරම් බලසම්පන්න තවත් කිලෝ 6.2ක ප්ලූටෝනියම් හරයක් 'මැන්හැටන් ප්‍රොජෙක්ට්' එක සතු විය. ඒ බෝම්බය කොතරම් දරුණු ද යත්, නොපිපරීම වුවද ජීවිත බිලිගැනීමට තරම් භයානක විය. ඒ බෝම්බයට එතරම් භයානක වූවේ කොහොමද? ඒ බෝම්බය සැබෑවට ම පිපිරුනාද? අද බීන්බෑග් පොඩ්කාස්ට් අපේ කතාබහ, “The Demon Core” ප්ලූටෝනියම් හරය පිළිබඳව! The Manhattan Project had another 6.2-kilogram plutonium core, powerful enough to cause as much damage as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs. That bomb was so powerful that even if it didn't explode, it would have been deadly. How did that bomb become so dangerous? Did that bomb actually explode? Today on the Beanbag Podcast, we're talking about the plutonium core, “The Demon Core”!

යෝගේෂ්වරී for Dummies | යෝගේෂ්වරීගේ රහස් හොයාගත්තේ මෙහෙමයි

'යෝගේශ්වරී' ගැන සහ ඒ එක්ක ගොඩ නැගුනු දැඩි කතාබහ ගැන අපි හැමෝම දන්නවා. ඒ කතාබහා ඇතුළෙ අති බහුතරයකට හරියට නොතේරුන ටෙක් වැඩ ගොඩකුත් තිබුනු බව නොරහසක්. ඉතින් අද අපි අපේ එපිසෝඩ් එක වෙන් කලේ ඒ සිංදුවත් එක්ක හැදුනු scavanger hunt එක කෙරෝළක ඉඳන් තේරුම් ගන්න. මේ, චරිත අතලගේ ගෙ 'යෝගේෂ්වරී' ප්‍රොජෙක්ට් එක ගැන අපේ ළෙහාගැනීම. We all know about 'Yogeshwari' and the heated debate that arose around it. It is no secret that there was a lot of tech involved in that debate that most people did not understand. So today we have dedicated our episode to understanding the scavenger hunt that arose around that song from the beginning. This is our approach to the 'Yogeshwari' project of Charitha Attalage.

A podcast that takes its time.

We sit down with creators, thinkers, builders and quiet experts, and we let the conversation breathe. No frantic edits, no shouting over each other. Just the room, good microphones, and the time to follow a thought wherever it goes.
