J. Robert Oppenheimer - The Father of Atomic Bomb, His Life and Legacy
In the spring of 1945, a man stood in a New Mexico desert and watched the sky burstâinto flame. He had assisted in designing the momentâall the factoring,âthe trials, the sleepless nights of theoretical physics, had culminated in this instant.
And as the shockwave rippled and seeped through the air, the man whoâd made it whispered a line from the BhagavadâGita: âNow I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.â
J. Robert Oppenheimer wasânot a soldier, not a general, not even a politician. Physicist â thinker, dreamer and, by all accounts,âa complicated man.
But few have changed theâcourse of human history as he did. His name will always be associated with the Manhattan Project and the start of the atomic age, a legacy formed in secrecyâand sealed with a mushroom cloud.
But who was Oppenheimer, andâwhat did he do? What was he, a genius with aâconscience, or a patriot who outsmarted his own morality?
We see historical figures, over time, in terms of black and white, as if time creates aâreductive truth.
