Welcome to Oak Ridge, I will be your tour guide for today...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_Ridge,_Tennessee
The secret city was to work on not just atomic energy science, but also to develop computer systems capable of runnin atomic testing in virtual environments. You've heard of the computer company ORACLE?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Corporation
One of the projects they were developing, to my knowledge was a project called "google", but I'm finding it hard to get a decent source on that.
Anyway, Oak Ridge is one of those places some try pretend doesnt exist.
If you're from the area or been there let us know.
