The awkwardly phrased line is famously associated with J. Robert Oppenheimer, the scientific director of the Manhattan Project, which developed the first atomic bomb during World War II. Oppenheimer reportedly uttered these words upon witnessing the successful test of the bomb on July 16, 1945, in the New Mexico desert.
The quote itself is a paraphrased version of a verse from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita. In the Gita, Lord Krishna reveals his universal form to the warrior Arjuna, and in doing so, declares: "Now I am Death, the destroyer of worlds."
