It is J. Robert Oppenheimer, talking about the creation of the atom bomb. He says:
"We knew the world would not be the same. Few people laughed, few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."

The man you ask about is Dr. Robert Oppenheimer who headed up the group of scientists at Los Alamos, New Mexico where the first atomic bomb was developed. What he's talking about is the thought that first came into his mind as he witnessed the first nuclear explosion. I don't recall the whole thing, but the key phrase he's quoting is from an ancient Indian poem -- "Behold, I have become death, the destroyer of worlds." Seems appropriate for what he was watching at the time.
