I would like to learn of the connection between the compass and the atomic bomb.
The history of the compass started more than 2000 years ago during the Han dynasty (202 BC – 220 AD).
According to wikipedia, so I doubt there to be a connection
The compass may have indirectly lead to our understanding of electromagnetism, which eventually helped inform our understanding of atoms and subatomic particles?
I'm wildly speculating but that's the best connection I can make.
ChatGPT said the same thing. The closest Iink I could get was electromagnetism being an important component of nuclear physics which followed the invention of the compass
