A major technological advancement in the 1950?s that changed culture was the development of the hydrogen bomb by the U.S. and later the USSR. This discovery created an atmosphere of fear of nuclear annihilation and resulted in an arms race. Each country fought to create bigger and better bombs and delivery systems. Public service announcements prepared the world for a nuclear war in which both nations would face large-scale, probably suicidal, retaliation strikes. Movies such as Godzilla came to feature monsters mutated by nuclear testing. Movements were founded to fight for global disarmament.

Discovery of the Structure of DNA On the last day of February in 1953, according to James Watson, Francis Crick announced to the patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, ?We have discovered the secret of life? (Watson 115, 1980). As Brian Hayes, the author of ?The Invention of the Genetic Code? states, ?If life ever had a secret, the double helix of DNA was surely it? (1). However, it was not the work of these two men alone that led to the discovery of the power the lies within the double helix, but rather the work of many scientists that was carefully picked apart and pieced together by the two who received the most fame for the work.
