In a very quick search, I found this (self-published) book from 2017, which could be the point of origin, although it would require more digging to be certain:\r\n\r\n[Death Object: Exploding the Nuclear Weapons Hoax](https://www.amazon.com/Death-Object-Exploding-Nuclear-Weapons/dp/1545516839)\r\n\r\nIts thesis simply appears to be that the existence of nuclear weapons is a hoax, no atomic bombs were dropped on Japan in 1945, and all the governments and all the scientists in the world since then are part of a grand conspiracy to perpetuate the lie such things exist.\r\n\r\n\"Professor of Applied Mathematics and Statistics\" at some unnamed institution, appears to have little or no online existence except as the author of this one book.
