For the memory of August 6 and 9, 1945.
One of the greatest minds in the history, and he can’t even look at the camera in the eye.
I guess that’s what makes me watch this over and over again.
Remainder for the ones who does’t know the whole story : Oppenheimer wanted to demonstrate the atom bomb, never encouraged to blow it up over people. But I guess when army spends gigantic amounts of money to something, independent of what it is, they use it.
"We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.”
- J. Robert Oppenheimer
