    I haven't seen the new movie yet, I plan to this weekend, but it is to my understanding partially based on his biography American Prometheus which is a fantastic and highly recommended read. Ahh,...

    I haven't seen the new movie yet, I plan to this weekend, but it is to my understanding partially based on his biography American Prometheus which is a fantastic and highly recommended read. Ahh, looks like Veritasium mentions it in the dooblydoo.

    If you want to learn more about Oppeheimer, I strongly recommend the book “American Prometheus” By Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin. It is a remarkable book, very much deserving of the Pulitzer prize it received.
