Umm.
Guys, are you really not aware? O_O.
This quote – "From the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns" – is a quote from the incredibly old Indian epic, the "Mahabharata." It describes the gods using a mega-weapon. Or rather, something like this: "From the darkness, light was born, brighter than a thousand suns."
And during the first nuclear bomb test, the head of the development team, Richard Oppenheimer, said exactly this phrase when he saw the "BOOM."
So, "brighter than a thousand suns" has long been associated with a "major nuclear explosion."

That's why I was a little surprised.

Heh, I was right, yes))) the symptoms haven't changed.
I googled the following version:
"During the first atomic test, on July 16, 1945, Oppenheimer recited a passage from the Indian epic Bhagavad Gita:
"If the radiance of a thousand suns
Were to burst out all at once,
It would be like the splendor of my Lord.
I am become Death,
The destroyer of worlds."

The same is in the English Wikipedia.
Армия баранов под предводительством льва сильнее армии львов под предводительством барана.

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns...
