If it was only that, Japan didn’t know about the bomb and was already trying to surrender. But not the unconditional surrender. So there might have been a blood bath.
overall world war II would have probably lasted quite a few more years because Japan wasn’t even willing to surrender after the first Atom bomb. the Japanese seriously believe that there emperor was destined to rule and possibly even a god. without a major hit to them of that nature they will probably would have gone into hiding.
if I had to take an educated guess I would say that the Japanese nobility and a good portion of the actual Japanese citizens would have abandoned mainland Japan and found some place in one of the areas they had taken over and gone out into the jungles or whatever to try to rebuild as we even shoving other people on to Japan possibly even just killing them and leaving my corpses so that we thought they’d all killed themselves. what I would say that’s the war would have probably gone on into the 1950s at least. also we probably wouldn’t have felt so bad and tried to industrialize them and set up plants in both Japan and China of the best and the greatest machinery because we felt guilty.
I would also say that’s most likely there would have been a few more wars whether they were declared world wars or not major wars probably with Russia as the antagonist or the other side because there wouldn’t have been the worry about instant annihilation.
science fiction would have changed a lot we wouldn’t have had the nuclear power plants however I think that’s after the war we probably would have still had a space race I’m just not sure that it would have been quite as early as it was.
If we didn’t develop nuclear weapons the war would have ended with probably a much higher death toll as America slaughtered its way through Europe and Japan continued destroying our ships in the Pacific. There is a chance that we would have lost. Most likely to Japan as Germany was strategically fucked anyway. I’d say we’d probably have ended fighting the war with Japan after German defeat another 3 to 4 years on their land in somewhat like the Vietnam war. I believe they had control of large portions of China at this point too. It would have been bloody.

Wouldn’t be an issue since that change in physics would probably have prevented star formation.
WW2 would have lasted a little longer in the pacific as Japan would have attempted to defend a land invasion.
1950s would have been a lot less peaceful abroad and potentially a lot more peaceful at home.

We probably would have had a couple more world wars as the Soviet Union tried to take over Europe.
it would be a dirty bomb.
Then we would be over ten billion years in the past before uranium was formed in exploding stars
USA would be even more powerful.
There would be a lot more uranium on Earth and a lot less lead.

America: rolls up sleeves “Guess we gotta do this old-school.”
On the downside, no anime.
The universe would be a very different place
The Cold War probably wouldn’t have been so “cold”.

A lot of Japanese would have starved to death or died in the invasion.
How many universal constants would need to change to make nuclear chain reactions impossible, and would that also preclude life from developing?
Ignoring that, WWII would unfold pretty much the same ending with Japan getting spit-roasted by the USA and USSR.
