Fun Flag for Uranium, Element 92

The Fun Flag for Uranium is based upon the flag of Germany.  It is due to the scientific pursuits of Martin Heinrich Klaproth while in Berlin that this material was recognized as an atomic elemental.  This atomic element was named after the recently discovered planet of Uranus. 

There is an intense JFK-Lincoln like synchronicity about this deadly and beautiful atom.  Both Uranus and Uranium were discovered by German born scientists.  Heinrich Klaproth was born in Wernigerode which is now Saxony-Anhalt, while the discoverer of Uranus, Friedrich Wilhelm Hersechel was born in Hanover which is now Lower Saxony.


Uranus was discovered on March 13, 1781 during the same year the first government of the United States was legalized on March 1, 1781 via the Articles of Confederation.

Uranium was discovered in 1789 the same year the second government of the United States was legalized on March 4, 1789 with the US Constitution. 

The first nuclear weapon that utilized Uranium was used by the United States, as its government was synchronized to the discoveries of the atom and planet.  And finally, nuclear fission was discovered by German born scientists Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann, and its theoretical explanation by Lise Meitner and Otto Frisch.
