I was a student at UC Berkeley from 1965-1968. I studied between classes at a large study room at LeConte Hall, the Physics building. During breaks in my studies I would go upstairs and check out the different offices. At the time there were five offices on one floor, each a Nobel prize winner in physics. One of them had the name of J. Robert Oppenheimer…even though he was no longer on faculty! That’s how much he was honored.

Having watched the movie. mostly because of Nolan as Director and its 13 Oscar nominations, I was completely captivated by the complexity of Oppenheimer's character and moral sensitivity.
I was looking for something really substantial by way of a documentary to deepen my understanding. I found it here. Congratulations and thank you to all involved.

My father was a navigator on a B29 bomber that was tasked with dropping a third atomic bomb on Japan. I am so thankful that he never had to be part of a third bomb and so much death and destruction. Upon his discharge from service after the war, my mild mannered Dad, an Iowa boy from a tiny town, finished college in Iowa to become a dentist. Then he moved back to San Antonio , Texas, where he had been stationed in the war, to start his dental practice. He died in 2020 of COVID, at the age of 94.

My parents both worked at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, from July 1944 to October 1945. Daddy was an engine mechanic on engines of all sorts--after his career as a mechanic on B-17s in Memphis. Mother was the only female electrician on the complex, and worked in a room where the electricity would pull bobby pins from her hair. Neither knew what they were doing, were working on or for, but on August 7 when they discovered what had happened, they suddenly knew they had been a big part of the Manhattan Project. For many years they didn't talk about what they had done, only 50 years later did they fully divulge their jobs and their contribution to the project. Pride doesn't begin to describe the feelings I have for my parents at that time in our history.

As a Japanese, I can’t help thinking that he is in charge of the death of hundreds of thousand people.
However, after watching this, I thought that he is just a good citizen who has loyalty to the US and is a genius scientist who realized nuclear power on earth.
The story of his life was so impressive. I am thankful to the author of this video.

I was born in Lubbock, TX but moved back to New Mexico before I was a year old. I love NM and will always consider it home. My grandmother brought her husband and children here from her unwillingness to raise her children in Alabama. I had a rare thyroid cancer at age 13 and one of my sons got the same cancer in his early 20s. He was told it was definitely related to the atomic bomb testing that occured in NM

Oppenheimer after the release of the two atomic bombs, he immediately recognized the danger the world was in, but was unable to translate this at the time. The world didn't understand nor ready, to recognized this danger, crucified this man for the next fifty years. What a tragedy, imagine what he could have created over time.

In the early 90s I lived in Los Alamos and I must say that environment was different from anywhere I have lived and worked since. You had the beauty of the forests, the mountains, streams and so much more but at the same time you had the cutting edge technology, it was a strange balance but it works to this day. Would you believe we didn’t even take the car keys out of the car at the grocery store?

I grew up in New Mexico. I and my family were part of the atomic energy research industry that followed the development of the bomb in New Mexico. I have read and watched a lot about the history of Los Alamos and the bomb. I watched the movie and I watched this presentation. The movie did better at fleshing out Oppenheimer as a living, breathing human but seemed to twist him to fit a plot. In this documentary Oppenheimer feels like a ghost of the complex individual he clearly was. For me it was like walking through a historial building and only getting a hint of the bustling home it once was from the pictures on the wall.

Ernest Rutherford was probably the most brilliant mind to come out of New Zealand - from a small rural town (Nelson) who split the atom and became a great practical Physicist at Cambridge University - eventually becoming Lord Rutherford of Nelson. Oppenheimer could have learnt a lot from him had they worked together!

I already had little desire to see what Hollywood made of "Oppenheimer" based on what I previously knew about this independent spirit and multi-dimensional genius, and after seeing this excellent documentary, my initial hesitation to see a cardboard version of this 20th century 'loner' has only become stronger. Oppenheimer remains a mystery to me in many of his facets but he has gained my sympathy, and this documentary only affirms that he basically was human after all. Well done!

I'm left at the end with the irony of the man who couldn't be contained by any one discipline or by a particular intellectual dimension, but who is forever contained by a simple urn at the bottom of a bay. What a genuinely sad and poignant ending, albeit one almost fitting for one who was so unique and singular.

I saw on a documentary about the atomic strikes, that after the second attack that Col. Paul Tibbetts was asked if there were any more bomb at their disposal, he answered that there was a third bomb available, but it was at Wendover field in Utah and he was immediately instructed to get it out here. The orders were given to deliver the bomb to Tinian Island for immediate use, but the bomb never made it any further west than California before it was stopped due to Japans surrender.

Fuchs was a known activist in communist party in Germany. He fled Germany to avoid arrest. He was hired by Max Born in UK, who was working in theirs nuclear project. It was on account of recommendations from Max Born that Fuchs landed up in Los Alamos. It was sheer negligence on the part of security agencies of US that he was not prevented from taking part in Manhattan project.

My understanding of Openheimer's career, was that his brilliant mastery and understanding of theoretical physics, was such that he was encouraged to embark on creating the atom bomb by both the scientific community and politicians, and not because his objective was to harm or destroy humanity by creating an atom bomb. This was his weakness, for which he paid a heavy price with his conscience.The flip side was that the research into fusion and fision HAS led to great progress in the harness of nuclear power for peaceful energy purposes, and if Oppenheimer had considered this alternative at the outset, I believe he would not have become such a tragic figure. Doubtless others would have taken on the challenge who may not have had the humanity and decency that he possessed. I found that this documentary was more informative that the film; however the book by Bird & Sherwin 'American Prometheus' is even better!

My parents met at Oakridge Tenn. My father was interested in joining the service after graduating from Carnegie Tech. But as fate would decree, he was given a choice of either joining the service or be a part of a secret group in developing a secret new technology. As it turned out he was part of the Manhattan Project. He never talked about it to much, I wish he was alive now, I have so many questions.

An interesting documentary and glad I watched it. A very sad ending for a brilliant, ecentric man who ended WW2 (Pacific Theater) but felt a conscience to stop the weapon from getting out of control, by those above him. Truman would be pushing a blank button if the bomb was not built......the biggest tragedy was his daughter who was penalised by having his father's surname.

I think you could argue oppenheimer was a good fit for director even before his skills showed.
He understands the concepts needed for the job and could articulate it in layman's terms. This would allow him to coordinate the scientists actually running experiments in the lab, understanding the whole process, without actually needing to do the lab work that he was bad at.

This documentary was excellent. Oppenheimer was certainly brilliant and a polymath. This doc seems to say that he didn't get along with children as a boy because he came from such a privileged home, and indeed, that can make one feel precious, standoffish, and above the crowd. However, what is not mentioned is the possibility that he was on the autism spectrum. His inability to make friends, correctly interpret social cues, and love of esoteric subjects that stretched the limits of his mind -- learning Sanskrit, reading French literature in French, becoming interested in Hinduism -- may have been an autistic trait. Autistic people often have such unusual interests such as memorizing the entire NYC subway system, and so on. Later it sounds like he could get around that and figure out how to be charming and work well in collaborative groups. I haven't read enough about him to know that this is true, but there is that possibility......

It's not Oppenheimer that needed to change........ it's society that needed to change. Being a misfit myself I relate to Mr. Oppenheimer's outcast status, Oppenheimer thought 'outside' the box, outside social norms, most likely had enlightened views about religion, and many other political/social views, things those who claim to be so socially adapted would find unsettling. Oppenheimer made a 'hero' of Groves who I have no doubt was just as socially awkward as they claim R.O. was but Groves used his military position and power as a way to avoid social analysis. If R.O. had worked as hard studying to be a 'social prima-donna' he would never have achieved the technical expertise he did. It's not Mr. Oppenheimer that was the problem - it was society at the time was problem!

It’s rare that I’ve seen more than one of the movies up for Oscar best picture before the award is announced. This year I’ve seen Maestro & Oppenheimer (I assume both are nominated).
Oppenheimer is a thinker, with intricate exposition and fleshing out a plethora of characters. It’s an epic biopic, thus a shoe-in for best picture. Nolan brings it home, with his usual blaring music score, to a poignant awareness end. The final Earth burning image is the startling horror we live with every day - - especially considering the number of nations and rebels firing missiles at each other this week. The best we can do is put the terror out of our minds for a spell in order to achieve happiness in this life .. but it’s always there.
I’m hesitant to write this, but considering how many annual inside jokes are routinely made about the number of Jews in attendance at Oscar ceremonies, I wonder what personages will say this year. I suppose as little was said about USA slaughter of Iraqis at such award shows at the time, Palestinians dying wholesale won’t get much mention. Someone may invoke the lame “peace in the Middle East” - - as though we’ve had it at home - - or the CIA hasn’t been orchestrating death of innocent human beings all over the planet since its inception.
The deadly Hamas attack was horrrible, but I don’t see how killing over tenfold innocents in response, and destroying the already debilitated infrastructure and homes of millions does any good. It’s madness. The movie Oppenheimer mentions Jews and communists a lot. It’s intriguing that fervent anti-communists then and now seem oblivious to what progress domestic communists provided the USA considering labor rights, and their part in finishing WWII. The actions of such leftists weren’t directed by Soviet or Russian mentality, but by human compassion and the knowledge that working together - united - we prevail. By the same token, folks have to be mindful differentiating the actions of Israel from Jews in the USA. Heartfelt opinions about the destruction of Gaza are divided in both demographics.
What’s assured is any scientist or politician who expressed hope nuclear bombs would deter war was way off the mark. We’re on the world brink now more than ever. What’s most agonizingly evident is no matter how brazen immoral financial, political, and war corporation corruption is apparent in the USA, in domestic and foreign battlefields, we are powerless to stop it. The scales are tilted too far in favor of those who are insane with avarice and power. Who could ever defeat those who bank the trillions of dollars that disappear with regularity from the Pentagon budget. History shows those with the most destructive weapons use them. We muddle thru, and concern ourselves with entertainment. 
I don’t see how Cillian Murphy deserves best actor when there’s at least one actor in the same film giving a better performance. Robert Downey Jr evoked more depth of character in every scene he was in. Murphy, who was stellar in Peaky Blinders, played shades of the same stoic notes over and over, and Oppenheimer, though the genius in charge of Trinity, often appears as a character the movie is happening around. Bradley Cooper should win the Oscar for best actor. The scenes between him and Carey Mulligan are riveting. No two actors could bring their pivotal Thanksgiving argument to life better. Thru the film, they bring the nuances of their characters’ love, and their struggle within it, to the fore. His conducting scene is a triumph. What Cooper did, embodying a person so fully, is above the acting Jamie Foxx and Rami Malek delivered in their Oscar winning performances. It’s a shame if he doesn’t get the trophy.
I guess I’m watching Barbie next.

Es ist wie in der Bhagavad Gita beschrieben;
Arjunas Wagenlenker ist Krishna, Gott, der Arjuna dem größten Krieger seiner Zeit erklärt, dass es okay ist, die eigenen Verwandten abzuwehren!
Eine klassische, tragische Persönlichkeit!

My dad was an officer in the command of General Douglas MacArthur who had two memories connected to the bomb.
First by the summer of 1945, he had been informed that he was one of a group of officers that had been selected to lead the initial wave of men ashore in Operation Olympus, the invasion of main land Japan. Needless to say, these bombs probably saved a lot of men who were going to be in the invasion.
Second, he took part in a U.S. Army survey of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the war and saw first hand what these bombs could do. So beides being greeted by he mayor of Nagasaki as the first American tourists.
He also saw the devastation firsthand of the bombs first use. Not sure if he ever reconciled those two experiences.

I was born and raised in Los Alamos (The Atomic City).
I'm proud of what was accomplished here.
It's heartbreaking the destruction that War brings, and my heart aches for what happened in both Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Thank God, this helped bring an end to WWII In the Pacific region.
It's always the Innocent People that get caught in the middle of these horrific conflicts. I was also Very Heartbroken how Japanese Americans were rounded up and put into camps... like the way Native American Tribes were mistreated by the government.
Never. Again.

I spent an evening with distant relatives of mine back in the early 1970s, in a palatial mountain home in Colorado. Everyone would recognize the name, so I won't give it. I was going into engineering school soon, and was a technology geek as a teenager. The husband of my distant relative, as it turned out, had worked on the Manhattan Project. This documentary at one point indicated that there was a lot of drinking at Los Alamos, and it brought back the memory of my relative's account of the preparations for the Trinity shot. He was really drunk while relating this story, which leads me to believe that it's more true than not. But he said that that college kids were assigned to hook up the electrical cables to the exploding bridgewire detonators on the "Gadget", which they did while thoroughly soused. The detail of his description of the events, and the fact that he clearly was a veteran alcoholic himself, led me to believe that his account was both first-hand, and as accurate as any such account could be. It was from someone present at Trinity itself, not someone who just heard about it.
His level of detail was very technical, by the way, and very, very accurate. I think sometimes that he was, perhaps, one of the college students on the Trinity shot tower. We'll never know, because that side of my family has almost all passed away a long time ago.

I put some diagnostic equipment into a small lab in Roswell, New Mexico in the mid- 1990s - there for a week - and they would tell me how they had so many cancers and other health problems still being diagnosed and treated that were traced to those early test explosions at Los Alamos. Ironic that Oppenheimer's bomb would end up poisoning and killing so many people and animals in a state he had professed to "love."

I worked on Reagan’s Star Wars project at White Sands. Seven billion dollars and 14 months later, we had a provable functioning device. When demonstrated, the Russians finally believed it and developed their own 10 years later. Theatre nuclear weapons are now moot because of it. The company line was that it didn’t work, but that was a strategic political lie to delay the Soviets. The device worked and was first deployed in Poland. Now miniaturized, it can be transported and deployed anywhere in the world. I am reticent to call it by its real name. Oppy wasn’t the only one…. We will only be safe when our moral compass catches up to our technological achievements. Nice documentary. Adieu

LeMay said the Bomb wasn't anywhere near as destructive as his napalm bombing of Tokyo and he was right. Many people think the morality of the bomb was off. But we were already at a place where we were willing to take 100,000 lives in a single napalm bombing. So what cost are two bombings that only manage to kill 90,000 together?
Our less fantastic weapons, have always been more deadly than the most fantastic. The galling gun looks great on TV and scares the shir out of people. But the Winchester repeating rifle put many many more in their graves.

I found this documentary extremely moving. Thoughtful, very well researched and presented, I wanted it go on much longer and to dig in to still more detail. Being a post-WW11 baby, born in 1955, I was brought up very much on a diet of media which revolved around that earth-shaping war. Oppenheimer, as a major figure from that period has always interested me and I found in this documentary, some solace from his reinstatement in the affections and belief of his fellow Americans and of those who held to his integrity around the world, after the dreadful persecution he suffered from that madman, McCarthy and his cronies. This documentary is more positive than the recent movie in this respect and in many ways, I found it more uplifting than the movie, although the last details about his and his wife`s daughter was once again, a criminal indictment on the American establishment and its political hysteria.

I wish that Robert J. Oppenheimer would have known that by dropping those two bombs they probably saved 1 million American lives had we been forced to invade Japan to end WWII. The math is freakish but accurate. Kill 200,000 in order to save a million. I lived through the 1950's and my father fought in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. I have no regrets about what Truman decided.

My wife(Sandy)was a student of Dr.Oppenheimer,and later Frank Oppenheimer,at Ft.Lewis College in Durango Colorado.
In is true that men like J.E. Hoover have done great harm to this government.
One thing this doc avoids or is ignorant,Los Alamos was the recipient to troves of information (spying)the third reich had solved,as relates to fusion,just recently (last 10 yrs.)structures destroyed after WW2,where nuclear (basic) problems had been solved are being investigated.There is no doubt the third reich was much closer to making a version of an atomic device.
Also,the acquisition of many German scientists greatly expedient the pace of Soviet nuclear technology.️

The man who developed two nuclear bombs that ended WW2, at the cost of a few hundred thousand Japanese, compared to saving the lives of a million American servicemen who would have had to invade Japan to end the war. How many of us would not be here today if Dr. O had not prevailed and developed those two weapons? He was a life saver, not a murderer.

I am glad I watched you documentary. Very interesting and well done. I got the impression Robert Oppenheimer had some mixed emotions about the A-bomb after they were used, and maybe before as well. I'd seriously not want to ever be in the position of deciding to use a weapon so powerful to end a war or to let a war drag out and kill as many as the weapon, but just take longer. In the short term, using such a weapon might save lives by bringing war to and end sooner, in the long term, maybe nations and people would come to an agreement to stop fighting and save lives that way too. History has shown us we have the ability to eliminate most life on our planet. God forbid we ever do.

Lived near Hanford Washington (SE Washington State), which was part of the Manhattan Project. Apparently, one of the most toxic areas in the US is Hanford Wa, or "The Hanford Project". When I was a kid and teen, I used to swim in the Columbia River in Tri-Cities, down river from Hanford Nuclear Site. My mom worked as a technical librarian at Hanford. Its an interesting place......
Hanford produced plutonium used in the US nuclear weapons stockpile, including materials for the Trinity Test and atomic bombs used to help end World War II.

Good documentary. You realize that a lot of Washington state around Hanford (plutonium bomb) has uncontained radioactivity that goes into the air when lightening strikes the ground and into the Columbia River to travel downstream to Portland. I am sure it will kill as many Americans as Japanese and the Tricities area is a federal boondoggle that Bechtel has never contained the radiation it was supposed to contain. I lived there and I know how bad it is. I can't imagine what kind of a radiation cesspool is in NM but the fall out from the Trinity site goes up to Albuquerque and Sante Fe and down to Roswell in the southwest. It's a pity because New Mexico is a beautiful state and a significant portion of it is another radiation cesspool. Now how much of Knoxville Tennessee is contaminated by the uranium plant there. I'll bet there is alot of cancer there. Also there are reports about poorly contained radiation containers leaking in Maine. Why don't you do a documentary about the uncontained and poorly contained radiation storage that goes on all over the United States. What happens when nuclear power plants get decommissioned? How is that taken care of. What happens to the health of people in contaminated areas.

Oppenheimer seems almost God given. It is almost as if fate aligned to put this man at our disposal at a critical juncture in history. He was the atypical pogue. In the rear,with the gear. But those men are the shaft of the spear. They don't get all the glory like the pointy parts, but in this case, the shaft became way more visible than the tip.
What would have happened if the nazis, the Japanese or God forbid the communists acquired this weapon before we did? I think in this case, even the lord played devils advocate and delivered a man like Julius Robert at just the right time. Or fate if you don't believe but that hardly seems adequate at times and this was one of those times.
I have no doubt that had our enemies acquired this weapon before us, the cold war would have been lost before it started and the west would be at the mercy of merciless men.

The Manhattan project Song by RUSH
Imagine a time
When it all began in the dying days of a war
A weapon, that would settle the score
Whoever found it first
Would be sure to do their worst
They always had before
Imagine a man
Where it all began
A scientist pacing the floor
In each nation, always eager to explore
To build the best big stick
To turn the winning trick
But this was something more
The big bang, took and shook the world
Shot down the rising sun
The end was begun, it would hit everyone
When the chain reaction was done
The big shots, try to hold it back
Fools try to wish it away
The hopeful depend on a world without end
Whatever the hopeless may say
Imagine a place
Where it all began
They gathered from across the land
To work in the secrecy of the desert sand
All of the brightest boys
To play with the biggest toys
More than they bargained for
The big bang, took and shook the world
Shot down the rising sun
The hopeful depend on a world without end
Whatever the hopeless may say
Imagine a man
When it all began
The pilot of Enola Gay
Flying out of the shock wave
On that August day
All the powers that be
And the course of history
Would be changed for evermore
The big bang, took and shook the world
Shot down the rising sun
The end was begun, it would hit everyone
When the chain reaction was done
The big shots, try to hold it back
Fools try to wish it away
The hopeful depend on a world without end
Whatever the hopeless may say
The big bang, took and shook the world
Shot down the rising sun
The hopeful depend on a world without end
Whatever the hopeless may say

Outstanding & better than the movie in the overall outline of him as a person. Although the actor did a great job. 👍 just not so much the writing or editing or music on the Movie. I think 🤔 it wins awards because of the actor & the story of his life was never told correctly before. 🤔

@52:31 What many people don't understand is that the Japanese weren't yet in the position to surrender even after two bombs were used and they were pretty well aware of the damage that had been done. It took the Soviets defeating the Japanese on the Manchurian battlefield to be the final straw that tipped the Japanese into surrendering. It is unclear if a third bomb would have altered the scale for the Japanese if the Soviets didn't defeat them.
When discussing the morality of the bomb and using two bombs, it is important to see the extend of what the Japanese were apparently really prepared to sacrifice. If the bombs were not used and all allied forces needed to continue fighting, the devastation and death tolls would be a multitude and the outcome of the war in the broader sense of the world would be completely different. Yes you can argue that the allied forces at some point would have won but the dynamics might have been different, including the conditions of the peace and all arrangements after.

Interesting original material and interviews with his biographers, but how can you recount the 1954 security hearings without mentioning Edward Teller's decisive testimony, based on his exposure shortly beforehand by the AEC attorney to the secret intelligence material on the Haakon Chevalier affair? This actually made Teller a pariah in the physics community, not Oppenheimer, but gave the decisive blow to Oppenheimer's trustworthiness in the eyes of the US government, even though the details had been known to US intelligence for years. Freeman Dyson, who was working at that time at the IAS, claimed that Oppenheimer was actually releaved by the result, not despondent (he also claimed that Oppenheimer was a terrible administrator at the IAS and could not understand why people looked back so foundly at his leadership at Los Alamos!).

"He knew he was intelligent". Obviously, when one is very intelligent, it becomes very obvious to notice the lack of logique of most people around you. That is why, it is important to put intelligent people together when they grow up so they know you are not the only one intelligent person around. Humilty is a must quality to learn early on when one is intelligent. Intelligent people should learn to be at service of humanity and not be adverserial to it by being constantly rejected and bullied by peers.

A lot of blaming using the bombs. They didn't say anything about dropping leafelets telling the civilians to leave the city. They said the second bomb was dropped just because they had it. The emperor had been notified that it had been a big bomb. He said no surrender at the peace talks that had been going on for months. They dropped the second one. Then got a surrender.

Por cruel que parezca, pienso que el uso de las bombas atómicas contra Japón, representó una menor cantidad de muertes para los dos bandos.

Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki were carefully chosen MILITARY targets.

Those bombs and ONLY those bombs ended the war a year sooner and 1 million casualties fewer.

It is sometimes a real mind bender to think that killing so many all at once could also save the lives of so many.

Once the 2 were dropped and the war was over... It would have been a blessing had everyone decided to forget the recipe. Terrible things. Very terrible things.

I know it's controversial to say this, but to me, there was more than a touch of narcissism in Oppenheimer's personality. For people who want to be recognized as the greatest at something, it's not always a peaceful, altruistic desire. There is also a craving for power in the narcissistic personality, and along with it, a justification of why they should be the ones who can exercise great power.
The very compartmentalization that is described here, that he could split off his empathy for the thousands of innocent people that would be killed, speaks of someone wo ultimately wanted everyone to know that he had a great power over other people's lives.
I am only saying it because it has to be said. That's pure narcissism, distilled down.
Desire to rule over other people's lives, to have the power over even whether they live or not, and to use that power to prove how great you are, is, in the final analysis, no matter how great of an intellectual you are, not the mark of a healthy, whole human being.
OK you can shoot it down now.

What a tragedy that President Truman ruined Oppenheimer's reputation and his intelligent daughter's opportunity to become a United Nations interpreter.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie Oppenheimer (watched it three times!) but showing a glimpse of one or two black scientists there was historically inaccurate. There were none there due to the grotesque segregation at the time. Some brilliant black Americans were hidden away at universities around the country to work on the project but still underutilized based on their intellectual gifts. See J. Ernest Wilkins Jr. One of his nephews is a professor at Harvard Law School now. "No African Americans lived at Los Alamos, New Mexico, a primary site of the Manhattan Project, prior to 1947."

Oh good grief! They get some stuff wrong in this video. The Nagasaki bomb had higher yield than the Hiroshima bomb, but more people died at Hiroshima. This is due to terrain effects. Also, the big technical question is whether the plutonium bomb could be made to work. It was much rather more of a technical challenge than the uranium bomb was. The plutonium bomb design is an implosion design while the uranium bomb simply fires a slug into a large mass of uranium bringing the total up to critical mass.

I was once asked by management at the Federal Reserve Bank where I worked for thirty years in Florida: "Do you believe that you are responsible for the sins of your grandfathers?" What they, like the FBI here, was trying to do is determine if I was conservative or liberal. After they found out I was a conservative I never received another raise or promotion again even being qualified. That is what Liberalism has done to this country, and now 20 years later it is even worse.

"technically" the WHOLE los alamos thing could have been avoided, and most of the personell, expense and logistics and materials etc...COULD have been eliminated from the first atomic bombs by just having the team design the first bomb that they THINK will work, ON PAPER in an office...THEN build the prototype and test it on Japan and give feedback then scale it up or down or make adjustments....TECHNICALLY if the thing goes off even if its just the regular charges, the mission is a successful bombing test...then more can be conducted as necessary, IF NECESSARY...also all the environmental damage INSIDE THE USA would be avoided by testing on Japan...this process and method would probably have shaved off a year to a year and a half of messing around with testing and scientific data acquisition...just comne up with a design on paper and crunch the numbers...then build the bomb from the prints and drop test it on japan...so simple an office and a workshop and very few people plus its more secret able.

How many times are you going to say the word privileged? I understand he's privileged just by the circumstances of his life; servants, the house, the limousine.

If I hear privileged one more time, that's it.

Everyone talking about nuclear waste here doesn’t know much about the subject. All of the nuclear waste from all nations on planet Earth would fit in barrels in the end zone of a football field. Not both end zones, not the entire field. One end zone. There is of course radioactive materials both natural and manmade that is significantly more abundant but nuclear power plants produce far less waste and pollution than any other electric plants kw to kw. Enriched fuel rods are not close to the enrichment level for weapons.

This is a very good assessment of Oppenheimer and the Manhattan Project. But the assessment of dropping the bomb is deeply flawed. It makes a major issue of the 0.25 million killed. That of course is terrible. But the video makes no effort to put that in context. The context was that a quarter of a million people in World War II was a rounding error. Over 50 million were killed in the War, the vast majority by the Axis powers and most were civilians. The only reason they do not provide the needed context is that it weakens their point that America dropping the bomb was a mistake. In fact, the bombs saved millions of lives--most of them Japanese. Notice that they avoid the central issue if you criticize America for using the bomb. How could the war have been ended with less loss of life?

To J Robert Oppenheimer: thank you
To the world: our problem today is not the nukes…rather hate and stupidity. If these “unstable elements” had a half-life, and “decay” like every other unstable element in our universe…our society would be improved over time…and the nukes would rust away.
J Robert Oppenheimer and his talented team of scientists saved 5-10 million lives…as without the A-bombs…we would have faced invasion…fighting school girls with sharpened bamboo spears! Plus another 5 million Japanese would have starved to death…had the war dragged on through 1946.
To Charles and other living relatives: be proud of your grandfather…I am. And, I would think there are many other Americans who are just as grateful to JRO. Peace and love to all…to end hate forever.

At first I was angry at Oppenheimer for what he created but by the time the documentary was over, I felt sorry for him. Why did his wife just dump his urn in the Ocean instead of spreading it like he wanted? Was she angry at him. hummmmmm

As a young lad, he wanted to be in school with physics and chemistry. Not gender studies of the "under privileged" color of skin (ignoring the sabotaged minds for skin color and type of genitals). Was he "privileged" (that can only be handed down from authority), or was he intelligent? Can we define the difference?

I dont buy the denunciation of his Jewish heritage. His abilities would undoubtedly be revealed as would his identity. Anglos knew their own egos,the egos they enslaved to be physically superior and the intellectual egos they played host to to create weapons of mass destruction. To think they dont have a fix on Israeli and Iranian Nukes is itself pathetically egotistical. Everybody wants what they created, their culture ,style, architecture, neighborhoods, everything. All people will do when they are replaced is fight for control of their civilization.

Not mainly American scientists were and worked there but lots and lots of German scientists who the Americans caught in Germany at the end of WWII. The name of the project was ‘Operation paperclip’ - you may have heard of it.

The Germans and Japanese had no problem bombing the public during the WWII, in fact they were gruesome around the world, and butchered millions of jews. You are speaking about the war and what happened then with today's present perspective, which is completely different than in the 1940's. Also, keep in mind Russians already had the A-bomb too. Think about how situations were then!

How dare you cast aspersions on Robert Oppenheimer. The people that were interviewed for this interview would not last a week in a physics class.

Liberals are attacked repeatedly by right wing conservatives while liberals have contributed as much to America’s defense as right wingers. Here is a perfect example:
Joseph Robert Kerrey (born August 27, 1943) is an American politician who served as the 35th governor of Nebraska from 1983 to 1987 and as a United States Senator from Nebraska from 1989 to 2001. Before entering politics, he served in the Vietnam War as a United States Navy SEAL officer and was awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism in combat. During the action for which he was awarded the Medal of Honor, he was severely wounded, precluding further naval service…Kerrey was a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1992. He retired from the Senate in 2000 and was replaced by former governor and fellow Democrat Ben Nelson. From 2001 to 2010, he served as president of The New School, a university in New York City. From Wikipedia - Robert Kerry.
