Knowing that the thing is possible is the hard part... from that part

 That's not the entire story - an hour after the Hiroshima blast,
Japanese physics professors knew what had hit them and were amazed -
not at the physics but rather that the United States had managed to
dedicate the production capacity (which the Japanese had estimated and
told the Japanese government they couldn't dedicate that much
production capacity without breaking the rest of the military) to do
so in wartime.

Admiral Yamamoto had tried to warn his government of the size of the American industrial capacity but far too many either didn't want to believe him or literally couldn't comprehend it.
