Rather early in the morning but I will give the dawn breakers a very big clue. LOL
The other less known evil is something this man was involved in at a very high level.
We do not want to witness that important lesson ever again.

Big Clue. LOL

Mark Oliphant, great man. Well done. Good question.

RADAR (which he did not invent but was involved in)
Fungi? Mushroom Cloud - involved in the Manhattan Project - very funny clue.

 

[Tathradj]

Well Done Chaps.

Quoted from the pages of "The Australian"
.
SIR MARCUS OLIPHANT Born with an insatiable curiosity, Marcus Oliphant was behind two major World War II inventions.
The first was a radar device called the magnetron, which gave the Allies a huge advantage tracking down enemy planes and ships.
The second invention was the nuclear bomb. The Adelaide boy was a pivotal member of The Manhattan Project that created the atomic bombs dropped on Japan.
Though seen as a hero, his discovery haunted him. When one bomb destroyed Hiroshima, he said: "Proud that (it) worked, and absolutely appalled at what it had done to human beings."
After the war he helped establish the Australian National University in Canberra and in 1971 he was appointed Governor of South Australia.

I hope that I was not too "painful" with my clues
