    Unpopular opinion: If it weren't for the atomic bomb, in the last seven decades, we could have easily seen another world war and three or four times more wars across the world. The sheer power of the atomic bomb prevented global powers from engaging in direct wars, which could have been devastating if anyone had used a nuclear weapon. The fear of nuclear weapons has kept the world more peaceful than you might think.

    IMHO I'm not sure if you can attribute it fully to the atomic bomb. Yes, it's a major deterrent. And atomic bombs being possessed by multiple global powers is critical for checks and balances of aggression. But what global powers can't achieve through direct wars they've not hesitated to try through proxy wars. Look at the amount of proxy wars going around affecting millions of people globally. Atomic bomb or not, the global powers wage their wars for their interests. IMO even if atomic bombs weren't in the picture, today's heavily trade-reliant world deters global powers from engaging each other in direct conflict (some effects of which we are seeing with Russia's invasion of Ukraine) because no power can outlive a long drawn out war.

He said that when he met with Oppenheimer after the bombs dropped, he was, and I quote, "nothing but a shell of the man he once was, he was haunted by grief and consumed by guilt, it was like he wasn't there, like he was a ghost". He dreamed of creating the strongest weapon known to our species. And he succeeded.

    The most captivating part of the movie was when he met President Truman, telling him how guilty he was and blood on hands - what Truman said after that was chilling - that while Oppenheimer made the bomb, he approved and chose the cities to me bombed - basically saying “you are too self centered, if anyone who has blood on his hands, it’s me”.

    I'm curious about what really happened during the conversation, as in what the context behind Truman's context was. To me it could mean 1. Truman was taking credit for the decision of the use of the bomb and ending the war, saying that Oppenheimer was being too self-centered. Or 2. Taking accountability and responsibilities for the weight of the decision, that Oppenheimer wasn't the person who should bear the consequences. In the movie, Truman was portrayed as the former, but that's Nolan's interpretation. I still give the benefit of the doubt on what Truman really meant. I'm not a historian or not even American, with no knowledge on what kind of a leader Truman was, so it's just pure curiosity.

He had a great sense of humor along with his great intelligence. He wanted to have the Japanese invited to a neutral island and see a detonation of an atomic bomb. My prof was the first person to have a chain reaction go critical and survive. The two parties ahead of him were killed. He did it by remote 3 miles away.

    While watching Nolan's Oppenheimer in theatre, I had tears dripping from my eyes when Oppenheimer is shown getting the Enrico Fermi Award. Had known about it (thanks to this video) but it was something else to see it filmed..... Cillian Murphy is so frail, thin (like Oppenheimer was in his later years) and after being through such a huge mental ordeal of carrying the weight of all those deaths, later being treated as a spy by the government (that used his creation to end their war), getting his security clearance revoked....the injustice of everything and they expected to make it right by giving him one award? Like the movie said, they didn't do it for Oppenheimer (they had already destroyed him by them). They did it for themselves. Can't help but feel incredibly sad for Oppenheimer. Glad that the world can know about him through Nolan's work. Thank you Newsthink for making this video.

    @@davidmacphee3549 David so glad to meet you. I rode a 79 Kawasaki KZ750 for years and won't hesitate to do a 1,000 mile day on it. The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is hands down the best bike I've had. A very simple, old school bike mechanically. Scheduled maintenance is extremely cheap or I'm betting you can do it all yourself, I do. I'm full time traveling with everything I own strapped to my bike and it handles the mountain twisties with ease. 650cc with a 6 speed gearbox I've had it to 105 once and she was still accelerating a little. Mileage on normal back roads has been mid 60s mpg, but not in TX ;-) I have no desire to get anything bigger. 27,000 miles on her now and no big problems. I'm figuring this will be my last bike. At $6,200 if something happens to this one I'll just buy another one. If you want to chat see my About page for email address. I love talking about My Royal Enfield.

I was scrolling nonchalantly through the comment section, mostly interested in seeing what other people find interesting about Opp. story, then few comment about the upcoming movie - which I didn't know Nolan was directing. Then I laughed at Zen's comment for obvious reason but your reply to him scared me for real. I know he (Nolan) goes for realism in his films and I assumed that your comment was related to some practical effects he would want to film but this is a goddamn movie about nukes and bombs much more complicated than ones in his previous movies. You made me go google in a second just Nolan and movie and the second article was Variety which explains what his plan was about practical effects he favors over VFX with his cinematographer. I guess he already shot the scene in New Mexico for the Trinity test, I couldn't figure out, given it was a quotation from Nolan about his plans, I didn't read another article to see if it was already shot. So, I do apologize for the long reply, but I also thank you for the scare and mostly about the info. Since Zen is not replying, how do you feel about Nolan's prerogative in making this particular movie? I really want to know, of course If you don't mind and have time on your hands. P.S.

    I suppose it's a good example of how we often make decisions without knowing - or even being able to know - the consequences. And then somehow have to live with those consequences and find a way to go 'oh well' and hope that the community can carry the responsibility together. I can see why the guy distanced himself somewhat. Zygmunt Bauman put it really well in his sociological descriptions of why and how diffusion of responsibility happens (cf. his book 'Modernity and the Holocaust'). You have to go on living somhow. It's not pretty but it's a psychological survival instinct.

    I've always found it so ironic how some people who murdered millions are celebrated while others doing the same are villianized. I read a quote that said "history is written by the winners" and it seems its really true. Once you win, all your reasons are somehow justified while the other party's reason are made to seem dehumanizing. Of course i understand that it was an action that was necessary and that most of them did what they did to end the war. But it still seems so disgusting to me to see people responsible for the death of millions being celebrated regardless of the reason.

    Well the problem with that saying is that it isn’t true. Coalition forces won the Iraq war but if you ask people if it was justified I believe most of those answers would be no. The Entente won the first world war and yet in France and Britain the war is condemned as a senseless slaughter. The fact that you hold the opinion you have is a testament to how the statement isnt true because the information that allowed you to form your opinion was not censored.

    just another propaganda from us establishment, first they used the scientist then when he revolted they made him appear to be some evil just like wiki leaks founder and Snowden. most evil country if I says ever exits is USA and its people, as without the people support this could not have been possible.

    So that's why England didn't produce the first device? Oppenheimer just copied calculations like it was a recipe? The conception was solely in Birmingham? All the world powers were developing this and only the USA pulled it off first, for better or worse.

    @@normalizrd because forging metals without metals is incredibly difficult. So much so that we can’t even do it today. And it’s more complex than you think, because to create most forges you at least need metal to carve the stone into a forge. They had to be very very creative with Stone Age tech to mine, extract, and purify ore before smelting it into usable metal. For the tech at the time, it was a leap on par with agriculture.

    To Oppenheimer it was the scientific pursuit that excited him. How it was used was not his decision to make. The same can be said of the inventor of the humble knife. A useful kitchen tool, yet, a deadly weapon if used as such.
