In the span of a single lifetime, mankind went from single-shot rifles and cannons to the nuclear bomb. That is legit mind-blowing and terrifying. 582 The People Profiles Reply 80 replies @tomclayton6875 @tomclayton6875 1 day ago With all the changing tides of the day, Oppenheimer seemed to have been fairly middle-road. He knew it had to be done before the Nazis got their hands on one and he knew he really didn't have any choice. To refuse his services during WWII would have been treasonable, and after the war ended he tried to educate on the awful significance of the bomb. As strange a man as he has been accused, this man is a true American hero. Brilliant and courageous. 63 Reply 4 replies @user-fp3du5uu8f @user-fp3du5uu8f 1 day ago This was a remarkably clear and valuable presentation.

There, in this very interview he quoted this verse. 20 Reply 10 replies @charlesbutterfield3464 @charlesbutterfield3464 1 day ago Frank Oppenheimer founde The Exploratorium in San Francisco.

Certainly Oppenheimer distinguished himself among a fabulous team of peers. As for the Nobel prize, it is my understanding that the language is seeking one whose individual academic accomplishments stand well above all others for the year in question. However, it is sad there is not an illustrious award, such as the Nobel, for one who successfully organize and manages a group of men, and egos, who are so accomplished. To mold and shape them requires a talent and certainly team respect. Such respect is earned. In this case in the lab. 6 Reply 4 replies @nathemstreet @nathemstreet 18 hours ago Oppenheimer exhibited great wisdom about his role in World War II in a video interview.

Robert Oppenheimer 29 Reply 2 replies @toddwithey7399 @toddwithey7399 1 day ago (edited) He was the atomic bomb. Without Oppenheimer, there would be no atom bombs to make Japan surrender. He had personally assembled a team and knew the talent when he was selecting his physicists. He was the glue that brought it all together, coordinating everything. That is a remarkable man... and also being a philosopher, he knew how to weigh the evil with the good. Mostly why he was not thrilled after the fat man had been used only 3 days later, stating "they had not had enough time to realize the entirety of the devastation, so they did nit have time to surrender before the government said, ok, hit them again... I never knew he had said this, but it shows a greater insight into a man who truly had no Malicious intent. If anyone deserves still, and deserved then, the Nobel award, Oppenheimer does and did. Anyone else in history could not have pulled all of this together and made it work in the time he did. Now, we live in a world where he opened pandoras box, but he could never close it again... His brilliance to assemble the best, and bring the best out of scientist is self evident. Yes, Fermi was brilliant, and all of the others brilliant... but Oppenheimer could see it, and see all of them and their collaboration to bring a theory to life... We need men like him in this world now so desperately... 10 Reply 5 replies @danielsantiagourtado3430 @danielsantiagourtado3430 2 days ago Incredible work as always guys!

It goes without saying that the shine has consequently worn off them. No matter how much has been done to rehabilitate Oppenheimer—which itself is principally due to his left-leaning politics, not his science—the Nobel committees were never going to give an award to the man known to history as “the father of the atomic bomb.” 2 Reply @harriettemacy7399 @harriettemacy7399 2 days ago New subscriber here.

Since the war was won in Europe was won by ground forces before the bombs were ready, they simply shifted the targets to two Japanese cities that hadn't been bombed too bad yet. The reason they didn't drop one in Tokyo was because it was mostly already destroyed. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were considered the "least bombed" cities in mainland Japan.... so they obliterated them.

Or was it a consortium of hundreds of physicists, mathematicians, weapons experts along with thousands of war time production employees that delivered the final result?

My take on it was that Robert knew how terrifying the bomb was and he had to deal with the potential risks creating this would being to human kind. He had honor and ethics. He understood why it needed to be built and used but still was very very concerned which is why he did not want to also to also make the hydrogen bomb. He was voted out of having any input or authority moving forward AFTER creating the Atomic bomb. He had ethics on how these were to be used and what could be done with them. To me they did not want a man with morals and ethics on the team. 2 Reply 2 replies @ths3100 @ths3100 2 days ago Excellent documentary.!

Like Albert Einstein, for instance, or J Robert Oppenheimer, known as the 'father of the atomic bomb' and the subject of a cinematic blockbuster hailed last week as 'the best, most important film of this century'. After all, Chadwick's discovery of the neutron 13 years earlier was not only revolutionary in physics, it would in time change the course of history. Not least, it paved the way for the Manhattan Project, the name given to the development of the bomb. It was Chadwick, the son of a Manchester cotton spinner, who first convinced both Britain and the United States, then at war with Nazi Germany, that such a nuclear weapon was feasible. Even Oppenheimer would conclude that the US project was all but doomed until the timely arrival on President Franklin D Roosevelt's desk of the pipe-smoking Englishman's top-secret report.

He intensely disliked Oppenheimer but not because of his supposed views on communism but more because of the way he treated the women in his life. My grandfather had a master’s degree in chemical engineering and electrical engineering from Cal Tech and had started his own company—Furane Plastics— as well as Delson Laboratories. He told me that after he had successfully completed his tasks at getting the detonation to shoot the two uranium components towards each other, he was sent back home to Glendale, California. He didn’t at the time know that it was two uranium components. He just thought that it was supposed to be a new type of conventional bomb for the war effort. Later, he was invited to take part in a conference in Los Alamos and that was when he found out what they had built. One of the scientists in the audience asked Oppenheimer how big the chain reaction was going to be. Oppenheimer responded with, “We’re not really sure.” To which the scientist said, “This could then burn up the whole atmosphere of earth.” Oppenheimer said, Theoretically yes but it’s not going to happen.” The scientist then said, “Where are your test results?” Oppenheimer repeated his previous assertion and my grandfather said that two thirds of the scientists in the room got up and left the room out of disgust among which was my grandfather. My grandfather was invited to watch the test on July 16th, 1945 but he decided to stay home and be with his family instead of going to work. He didn’t know at what time the test was scheduled to be. On August sixth, he knew that the test had not failed. 1 Reply 2 replies @FaZePhaze @FaZePhaze 2 days ago Couldn’t be a better timing 😮 3 Reply @robertvarner9519 @robertvarner9519 1 day ago Excellent documentary. 4 The People Profiles Reply @mrtlkl @mrtlkl 1 day ago Great personality Reply @globalroamer1900 @globalroamer1900 10 hours ago The Nobel Prize is a bit of a joke anyway..... 3 Reply @susangreene6449 @susangreene6449 2 hours ago A genius in his fields of expertise.

He was thrust into a project, that whether he wanted to or not, had to been done. With the Nazi's on one end trying to develop nuclear fission, and the Japanese on the other front doing the same, he understood the arms race and it had to be in the hand of responsible moral people. People don't realize how many more Americans would have perished if the US were to invade the main Japanese Island of Honshu. As awful as this weapon is, it saved American lives, just of course the devastation it released on the Japanese people.

This was not an imaginary or completely paranoid threat. Oppenheimer's legitimate guilt over what the MP had accomplished made him sympathetic to the idea of what became Mutual Assured Destruction. He is a hero for helping to end WWII. He is a villain for loosing something truly terrible into the world. I find it probable though, his villainy would have likely been someone elses not too far from 1945. One thing we can always know, human hubris has no limits.

I am extremely unfamiliar with this purported large congregation of academics. I have spent a considerable amount of time watching actual ones(from places like the US army war college, naval academy, WWII museum and memorial in the US, with frequent guest presentations from several international versions of the same institution as well) who say the second bombing was necessary as the larger sentiment inside Japan's command- who's cables we could read at will- was that they believed that the US was bluffing and didn't have any more weapons, or that they had pulled some kind of elaborate ruse and it was not a single weapon strike that did it, so they should fight on. We know this was so strong that a cadre of junior officers tried to overthrow the emperor himself as a free willed political entity to stop him from offering surrender. They were given a timetable, we stopped attacking and let them think, and then we saw that they intended to continue fighting by the way they spoke to each other and even demanded resistance to senior officials in the honor and etiquette obsessed Imperial Japanese forces. There's also the fact that the soviets were coming so if we didnt force capitulation immediately, we would be in ANOTHER split north south war against the soviets down the line if they had the chance to land in Ryuku or take all of the Kuril islands.

Reply @dulcecaramel @dulcecaramel 2 days ago Its very strange to think about the ethics of what he dis. On one hand he was building a weapon not using it, thus he would naturally have felt detached to the pain it would cause by virtue of not being the one to drop the bomb on the targets. So how can we judge him when every single one of us is guilty of this same detachment? Every single time we buy and eat chocolate we are directly funding chatteI sIavery in Africa, as most of the chocolate we eat is grown by sIaves. Same with clothing and chiId labor. If someone can live with eating blood chocolate just because the devastation created by their simple pleasure is too far away for them to care, how are we going to judge this man when he had the pressure of a brutal war weighing on him is well? Yet on the other hand, he was smart enough to know that the world would never be the same if he did what he did. Point blank, without him these nukes would not have been created (at the time) and thus those cities full of civilians would have been spared. But its not like it was his decision to drop the weapons on civilians... PIus, Japan at the time was even more brutaI and eviI than Germany. Even top ranking Notsee officials were horrified to learn of the disgusting senseless and depraved brutality of the Japanese in Nanking and in unit 731...

I should think it also helps younger people who perhaps wonder about the deep-seated prejudices of our time a slightly clearer understanding of the origin of the bigotry, phobias, consipiracy paranoia and...yes...the underlying urge in US society for a kind of single-minded government where multipe points of view are treated as disloyalty. I have to say, sixty-five years after that radioactive mud fell on my backyard, my dog, my toys and myself, that humans have made hardly any progress towards understanding anything other than how to make our lives here even more oppressive, more fearful, and more hostile towards others. Each generation should hope to leave the world a better place for its decendants and I'm compelled to apologize to all children and grandchildren and those yet to be for my generation's cowardice and blind denial.

The escalation of the nuclear arms race was laid bare. The anti-communist paranoia that swept America in the 1950s was expressed in its foreign, military and intelligence policies, which set the bar for what followed for decades afterwards. America's fascination with conspiracy theories is often deeply puzzling to observers, but while I don't imagine that began in the 50s, it was a decade that did much to fuel it. Oppenheimer had a brilliant mind, and moral integrity, but in any age of secrets, stretegems and existential anxiety, he was not a Machiavellian or a politician. 79 Steve Hayes Reply 10 replies @ingredpaulson4530 @ingredpaulson4530 3 days ago "The Trials of J.

The earliest example to my limited knowledge of history was Fritz Haber who became reknowned for his work in producing artificial fertilizers, nitrates, for agriculture. He was advanced in his work by Albert Einstein who, at the time, had achieved a position of influence in the world of physics. Haber and Einstein were much different in their views as cultural Germans. Einstein was proud of being a German, culturally, but Haber was a German nationalist before WWI and leaped to support of the German war effort. He did so by inventing lethal gases that killed thousands on the battlefield. Paradoxically, Albert Einstein, who came to the US and a Princeton professorship, encouraged the development of the nuclear weapons that were used in 1945 to destroy the civilian populations of two Japanese cities. He had no control over the bombs that his encoragement produced, as no scientist does when he (or she) gets involved with government. He and others tried to halt the bomb's development, when US victory overy Germany became clear, but they were ignored. Oppenheimer, after developing the nuclear fission bomb, opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb. For this reason, I believe, his loyalty became questioned, and he was disgraced. Much more recently, a young cyber-analyst for NSA learned of the violation of the Constitution by the NSA and tried to halt it but to no avail. He went public with documents that proved the criminality of NSA and was forced to leave the US in order to avoid long imprisonment. He now lives in Russia and is a Russian citizen, despite years of his efforts to return to the US. Scientists and other technically brilliant people who go to work for governments should realize that they are surrendering to the questionable moral judgment of political leaders. 24 Reply 2 replies @todd92371 @todd92371 11 days ago It never ceases to amaze me the ability of the human species to outwit itself! 8 Reply @kathymetzger5862 @kathymetzger5862 8 days ago Thank you for putting this special about Oppenheimer on I learned so much about this man and his accomplishments. 2 Reply 1 reply @michaeljoseph3528 @michaeljoseph3528 6 months ago That honorable scientist is owed a posthumous apology.

He comes across as one of those guys who was burdened with the need to be the Smartest Guy In The Room but was incredibly insecure and full of self doubt. He was careless and naive with who he formed relationships that required trust and confidentiality. This led him to have conversations with others that would come back to haunt him.

Russian Intelligence operated a system where the principal was not directly handing over the information, however they can transfer the information to sub-agents. Which if discovered can be thrown to the wolves. The Soviet codename for the intelligence operation was "Enormous". And it was extremely effective. From the moment Churchill began to itemize special projects that should be transferred to Canada, the meeting notes were taken by a agent of Soviet intelligence. This information was transferred to Moscow which then sent parts of it to Senior Soviet Scientists for clarification. The report sent to Stalin stated that indeed the theory was valid and the weapon would be extremely powerful. Stalin checked the report with his green pencil. Which meant that it needed to be given priority. Soviet Science made it clear that the resources necessary would be very great to accomplish the task. That during the war Russia did not have the resources to undertake the development until after the war. Russia was a large country geographically, however on the world stage they were outsiders. Soviet Intelligence during the depression infiltrated the US Government through hiring. Communications intercepts show that in excess of 219 active soviet agents were in fact in the USG. Smaller , poorer countries must resort to espionage, as such they carry out collection on targets and attempt to identify individuals which can be recruited, entrapped, or enticed into delivering information. If you become a target of foreign intelligence, they have no moral scruples when it comes to accomplishing their Mission. You are expendable. Even If you evade detection you are subject to being sacrificed by the service which you are working for. People are expendable to the people who play the Great Game.

They did get the Cold War advantage, despite production ptoblrms, exploding a deliverable h-bomb in 1954, before the US did. There's a lot more behind this than is widely known. Truman had publically requested the U.S.development of the H-bomb at the start of '51, and by October ‘51 my late physical chemist friend Louis Gold [1917-1983], at the recommendation of George Gamow, had sent to the civilian H-bomb project director Edward Teller, the correct solution for producing a deliverable H-bomb, which was the use of lithium deuteride as a solid. There is information that indicates that the delay in applying this correct solution was not because of Teller -- others had suppressed it to delay it, quite likely to get increased government funding by making the US appear to be behind in this crucial area of military power. Since Dr. Gold could have testified that the solution he had provided in 1951 was held back by the authorities, he had to be discredited. In 1954 his life was systematically destroyed. His scientific papers were stolen, his security clearance and his job were taken ftom him; his wife (with his two young sons} were alienated from him, and since he had put out of mind his letter to Edward Teller of two and a half years before, he had no idea for some time why these things were happening to him. If Dr. Gold had been able to testify,. blame for US delay in producing the h-bomb would have fallen on the directors of the h-bomb who held back the lithium deuteride solution for two and a half years, rather than on those who had earlier opposed h-bomb development, likr Oppenheimer. 5 Reply 1 reply @Setmose @Setmose 6 days ago Brilliant scientist, and surprised everybody (except Grove) by being a brilliant manager of Los Alamos.

It doesn't matter what country you are from, what religion or political ideas you may have, in the end most of us want the same: to live in peace, to love and to be loved what is already quite difficult indeed. We have already so many issues to solve up and Big challenges to face just caused by our lifestyle. However, there are always some psycopaths, machiavellians and narcissists incarnated in who we name: president, scientist, pope, businessman or any other authority that rule and that see the only way to thrive is to destroy to rebuild again. It is supposed massive destruction weapons are only to deter other owners of nuclear weapons countries to attack them..they should have never exist but sadly today a real threat is more patent with the conflict in Ukraine! I lived the "Cold War" during my teenagehood.We watched it on the TV news and on the cinema where the most famous world saviours have always been James Bond and later Tom Cruise with his Impossible Missions..

Something that's rarely spoken about is the fact that first American H-bomb was a test device too massive to serve as a deliverable weapon ... the Soviets developed the first deliverable thermonuclear weapon before we did.

There were TWO very dark and evil forces, on a collision course with one another. Europe just got in the way. Hitler and Stalin were really interested in clearing the Real Estate that separated them so that they could face off against one another. There was no "good side" to take. If Hitler had not swept east across Europe, Stalin would have swept west to get to the game. Everyone involved knew that Stalin was just as bad as Hitler, if not worse. If you go by body count, Stalin made Hitler look like the JV team. Just because Hitler started a fight with our friends and caused us to side with Stalin, no one was under any illusions about the fact that Communism was the very next fight as soon as the Fascists were dealt with. The fact that Oppenheimer's wife and his friends were Communists was a legitimate cause for concern. Ig he was so smart, he should have understood that and been much more careful about what he said, and who he hung out with. 3 Reply @wolvesetc @wolvesetc 5 months ago The clip where he is quoting from the Bhagavadgita is so insanely creepy and eery.

Robert Oppenheimer faced an interrogation over his loyalty and veracity, suspending his clearance due to allegations and suspicions about his associations. 03:26 🕵️‍♂️ Oppenheimer's background and associations, particularly with leftist individuals, came under scrutiny during the hearings, affecting his role in the scientific community. 08:25 📚 Robert Oppenheimer's childhood and academic years shaped his intellectual brilliance and introspective nature, leading him to excel in quantum physics. 11:20 💼 Leslie Groves appointed Oppenheimer to lead the Manhattan Project, despite initial security clearance issues and skepticism about his ability to direct a scientific lab. 23:29 🌐 Oppenheimer's past associations, including a brief encounter with a communist, raised concerns during the security clearance process and affected his work on the atomic bomb. 30:01 🕰️ Jean Tatlock's tragic story reveals the human toll of the Oppenheimer affair. The FBI's surveillance didn't prevent her suicide, highlighting the complexities of balancing security with personal relationships. 35:15 💥 The successful test of the atomic bomb brought relief and exhilaration, but also deep ambivalence. Oppenheimer was troubled by the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and concerned about the future use of nuclear weapons. 42:08 🌎 Oppenheimer's desire for international cooperation and nuclear disarmament was idealistic but faced opposition. His efforts to create an international agency for nuclear control were thwarted, and the focus shifted to developing atomic weapons to counter the Soviet threat. 51:25 😞 Despite his fame and reputation, Oppenheimer faced suspicions and accusations of communist sympathies during the Red Scare. He cooperated with investigations and tried to balance his scientific career with politics, but his standing suffered. 59:29 🗽 Oppenheimer clashed with anti-communist Louis Strauss over the export of nuclear isotopes to Europe. His open defiance led to strained relations and fueled suspicions about his loyalties. 01:00:59 💣 Oppenheimer's fears about the Soviet Union's first atomic bomb test proved true, leading to near hysteria in Washington. 01:02:09 🌐 Edward Teller, driven by his hatred for communism, advocated for the development of the hydrogen bomb to counter the Soviet threat. 01:04:49 🛢️ The successful testing of the hydrogen bomb marked the beginning of the modern arms race and escalated tensions between nuclear powers. 01:08:34 ⚖️ Oppenheimer's advocacy for moderation in nuclear weapons development clashed with powerful figures like Lewis Strauss and Edward Teller. 01:23:46 🚫 Despite being cleared of disloyalty, Oppenheimer's security clearance was revoked, significantly impacting his career and leaving him a broken man.

A good looking man and brilliant nuclear scientist who never married and never had kids (he likely felt history may vilify him if his team made the first atom bomb to be used in warfare). The two central European scientists who visited President Roosevelt with detailed drawings and paperwork felt Kurchatov may no longer be able to delay the manufacture of the first Soviet atom bomb, as their nuclear project to make an atom bomb had started in 1937 or so. Stalin had started asking the Soviet nuclear dissidents why they haven't asked for funds and materials to actually make the atom bomb in 1943 - 1944. The documents the European duo (not Germans) had mentioned included details on such details as optimum height for a safe air-burst from an atomic explosion that Kurchatov and his team of nuclear dissident scientists had calculated.. Back in America the only scientist who had studied nuclear science was Robert Oppenheimer among intellectuals who would work with Marconi. Oppenheimer's parents had come from Germany to America in the late 1800's, Trump style. Oppenheimer studied the engineering drawings handed over by the European duo to Roosevelt, and he studied the list of materials to be used and other documents, along with Marconi. About a year before end of ww2, two men from central Europe (not Germany) came to Washington DC and had an audience with President Roosevelt, with extensive engineering drawings of atom bombs, some with initials I.K. The two men from central Europe (not Germany) even had drawings of the atom bomb previously designed by Soviet nuclear dissidents who had extensive knowledge of atom bombs since 1936.. The two men declared that Soviet nuclear dissidents were against their country acquiring an arsenal of atom bombs. Back in America, Roosevelt and his men got hold of radio inventor named Marconi who admitted his lack of knowledge of nuclear science. Roosevelt said to Marconi he (the President) already had copies of engineering drawings of atom bombs to help Marconi, and directed Marconi to get hold of other scientists from other fields. In 1944 1945, America had almost no scientists with expert knowledge of nuclear science unlike Igor Kurchatov and other Soviet nuclear dissident scientists. Marconi already had blue prints of atom bombs from the two scientists who visited President Roosevelt in the White House or at his office. Kurchatov who was selected to lead a Soviet nuclear program to built an atom bomb from 1936 - 1937, did not want Stalin to build and have the first atom bomb. America's first atom bombs were built by a team of amateur scientists assembled together by Marconi such as genes technology experts and radio waves scientists were given copies of the drawings of atom bombs given to the duo by a man named Igor Kurchatov. The American scientists re-drew atom bomb based on drawings handed over to Roosevelt by the two nuclear scientists who also had a drawing of the Soviet atom bomb drawn by Soviet nuclear scientists as early as 1942. Marconi was the inventor of the ww2 radio and not a nuclear scientist, nor were any of his scientists nuclear scientists. Marconi the ww1 era radio inventor designed nu clear bombs based based on drawings handed over by two scientists from central Europe and these two men also handed over drawings of atom bombs designed by Igor Kurchatov a good looking Russian nuclear scientist with very extensive knowledge of nuclear science. The engineering blueprints given to Roosevelt were good enough that anyone with knowledge of engineering drawings can build a simple atom bomb or a complex hydrogen bomb. So, Marconi and his team of scientists with little background of nuclear science could build atom bombs based on drawings and paper work handed over to Roosevelt by the two scientists, who also handed over a drawing of the Soviet design of their Soviet atom bomb, from a man named Kurchatov.. Ever since, America has been insulting the Soviet Union at every opportunity. Kurchatov as a young man looked like a somewhat good looking college fraternity guy, and towards the end of his life, started looking like a mad scientist. 10 Reply 8 replies @letsif @letsif 6 months ago The extreme irony of self defeat.

I think it meant 7,000, which calls into question the factual accuracy of other parts of the documentary. 2 Reply @fredjones554 @fredjones554 1 month ago He could have had it all. If he only learned to negotiate instead of pontificating. He made needless enemies and they took him down. This happens every day. He clearly had concerns about nuclear weapons, and the correct response would have been to resign. Instead he had to be forced out. He is no martyr. He imagined himself more important than he was. Sure he was a genius and contributed much to his country but he couldn’t play nice with others. 1 Reply @nick000002 @nick000002 6 months ago Guilty until proven inocent 1 Reply @robert-hh2ft @robert-hh2ft 3 months ago he was used then they turned on him this is what happens 4 Reply @mellow-jello @mellow-jello 2 weeks ago (edited) FYI The end credits, and narrator actually prove that the doc was produced as part of the American Experience series produced by PBS, not the BBC.

American Prometheus by Kai Bird.. And I came away from it just not liking him one bit. He's vein, elitist, narcissistic etcetera - which I might have swallowed if he was genuinely genius... Like, if it was Einstein or Bohr I'd sanction really any behavior or personality if that's what it took for them to come up with the things that they did. However it turns out Einstein and Bohr were total sweethearts, despite how brilliant they were and the things they came up with. While Oppenheimer is an absolutely exasperating douchebag, and he didn't really come up with a goddam thing. Oppenheimer was the kind of guy who would learn about esoteric shit not because he was genuinely interested, but so that he could know things that you didn't, and so that he could lord it all over you. 2 Reply @DavidSmith-kd8mw @DavidSmith-kd8mw 5 days ago Was Teller petty and spiteful? maybe, maybe not Did Teller have a more realistic understanding of the USSR as early as the mid 40s? yes Was Oppenheimer overly influenced by domineering women who happened to be communists? yes Was Oppenheimer heavily influenced by a belief in intelectual circles that dropping the bomb on Japan was wrong? I think so What should Teller have said if he believed Oppenheimer's influence in government agencies was detrimental to the US? 1 Reply @ClarkPotter @ClarkPotter 7 days ago Who's here bc of Nolan's movie? 2 Reply @neddyladdy @neddyladdy 6 months ago I have NEVER understood the US paranoia over communism and socialism.
