Some clarifications: - On black holes. While others such as Scharszchild were first to describe the theory of blackholes, Oppenheimer's work was the first full description of how blackholes formed. "Oppenheimer proposed the very first collapse model to describe how a star could collapse into a black hole." - Xavier Calmet, a professor of physics at the University of Sussex in England - On the photoelectric effect. His work wasn't so much a discovery of the effect but more an observation using the effect that revealed some truths about the Hydrogen atom, so apologies for that error on my part. - On Unit 731.

@@rkgsd Very true, and of course, normal individuals such as myself can't imagine such a burden. It's just that the Japanese military (not the innocent civilians) had been planning to release a bubonic plague bomb on the US within mere weeks. So, if I may put myself in the US government's shoes of the time, there was no end in sight to war and countless lives would have been lost still, in most cruel and inhumane ways. So, I'm not in a position to comment on whether or not it was ethical for the US to have ultimately decided to release the bomb. All I can say, however, is that the US likely weighed the pros and cons in terms of life loss too and decided to move forward. I'm *not* justifying things, as this is not my area of expertise so I hold no authority to comment on ethics. That said, I'm still stunned that Oppenheimer was so hard on himself indeed. He still accomplished far more than the average individual could ever accomplish during his or her lifetime. I suppose this really demonstrates that genius can bear a burden as much as providing a gift.

Thx for making this ep!

I got so much out of this Cold Fusion episode on Oppenheimer, as usual a great job by Dagogo. I think the best part is that Oppenheimer’s genius was not lost, despite his personal missed opportunities, he achieved a whole lot more in his rather short career than most of humanity ever does. He truly stood shoulder to shoulder with giants. Like the movie scene where the explosion of the first nuclear bomb was experienced by intense light and the sound of the blast came later, it is only now that the world hears the blast of Oppenheimer’s greatness!

Hot take - The quote “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds” is not directly from the Bhagavad Gita but rather a paraphrase of a verse in the Gita. The verse is part of a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Krishna reveals his universal form, a divine manifestation displaying his supreme power and cosmic nature, the Supreme Lord Vishnu. The Supreme Lord (Vishnu) said: "I am the world-destroying Time, [Time: The supreme God with His limiting adjunct of the power of action.] grown in stature [Pravrddhah, mighty] and now engaged in annihilating the creatures. Even without you, all the warriors who are arrayed in the confronting armies will cease to exist!" In other words - "Time I am, the great destroyer of the worlds, and I have come here to destroy all people." Arjuna is awe-struck and becomes aware of the immense destructive power that Krishna wields as the God of Time (Vishnu). So let’s step back and ask who Oppenheimer is meant to be in this situation. Oppenheimer is not Krishna/Vishnu, not the god, not the “destroyer of worlds” - he is Arjuna, the human prince! He is the one who didn’t really want to kill his brothers/fellow people. But he has been enjoined to battle by something bigger than himself - physics, fission, the atomic bomb, (Lord Krishna/Vishnu). During war (WWII) - and only at the moment when it truly reveals its nature, the Trinity test, does he fully see why he, a man who hates war, is compelled to battle. Oppenheimer is merely the man who is witnessing it while Krishna is the embodiment of the bomb (the tool of war), and Lord Vishnu is the supreme power, the destroyer of worlds (nuclear fission).

Damn this is a crazy and tragic story. Good video. Looking forward to seeing the movie

The Bhagvad Gita wasn't translated to English by Bob, but by his tutor at UC Berkeley, Arthur Ryder. The original Sanskrit version says "Kaal". Kaal means Time. Context: In the battle of Mahabharata, on the battlefield, the prince Arjuna felt helpless on seeing his loved ones on the other side of the battlefield. He knew his battle skills & thought that while fighting his own cousins & teachers, he'd end up killing them or at least severely injuring them. This threw him into a dilemma (much like what Oppenheimer faced after the nuclear tests). His charioteer, Krishna, tried to motivate him, but in vain. In a sort of last ditch attempt, Krishna who is actually the avatar of Lord Vishnu, took the form of his Eternal Self, as Lord Vishnu, and recited the Gita to Arjuna, telling him how he needs to do his duties because He i.e. God, intended it that way. Lord Vishnu's detailed advice is what the Bhagvad Gita basically is. This dialogue that has now become world famous, appears in Chapter 11, verse 32. In it, Vishnu says he's 'Kaal', or Time... contextually meaning, the Time-Spirit. What he meant to tell Arjuna was He is Time, and Time comes for all. Time is actually the ultimate destroyer. Think about it .. every second we waste, is a second destroyed & never coming back. What Vishnu meant to convey to Arjuna was, whether you do your duties or no, Time finally comes for us all, so keep doing your duties to the best of your abilities & let Time take care of everything else. This 'Kaal' was wrongly translated by Oppenheimer's tutor Ryder, as 'Death'. It should actually mean, "I am the Time-Spirit, the destroyer of worlds."

I have been watching this channel almost from its beginning. It has only gotten better over the years. It is channels like this that you would expect public television to air, but they don't. This was a very intriguing episode of ColdFusion. I was just coming into this world when Oppenheimer died. As I was watching the part about his last days, I was thinking he must have been in his eighties, plus. Turns out he died a relatively young man. 60 is not the image of the illustration of him with his friend sitting with him. I am 65, yet often mistaken for being in my 50s. 60 to these newer generations seems old to them, but as short as life is, 60 is most like the beginning of getting older. It is a time when you still feel young, yet you may not be able to move like you once could or think as sharply as you once did, but if desired, you could still outdo those decades younger than you in many ways. Although none of this has much to do with this video, I felt it is something younger generations should understand before they come to understand these things personally firsthand.

Fascinating and well researched.

While Oppenheimer didn’t win a Nobel prize, he is an iconic figure of history. Who could say that his work in advocating for the dangers of nuclear weapon isn’t more important than his other discoveries.

The part of Oppenheimer where his contribution to photoelectric effect and black hole are generally omitted by every biography that I have seen or read till date. Hence, I have only known him as a great scientific administrator than a great scientist. Thanks for this revelation.

Geniuses are often the most tormented of souls.

Hi Dagogo, thank you for the very insightful videos! Could you make a video on the writers' strike in the US?

Here's an incredible fact that not many people are talking about: The Hollywood filmmaker Christopher Nolan released a movie called Oppenheimer last month. Not only is the name of the movie the same as the real life Oppenheimer discussed in this video, the film is about a man who invented an atomic bomb during world war II. The similarities and coincidences are striking! What are the chances?

I have only heard stories about him from family members, but I never realized how sad his story was. That being said I can't wait to watch the film

Minor correction Dagogo: the photoelectric effect is NOT the principle of operation of solar panels, but that of photocopiers and laser printers. Also, it was already described by Albert Einstein in 1905, his _Annus Mirabilis_ (miracle year) which earned him a Nobel prize decades later.

Everyone should have a friend like Dyson (it is fascinating that these icons live all together at the same time period) stayed beside him not as a colleague or scientist but as friend on his last days.

Initially, the USA was forced to investigate the possibility of building an atomic bomb, because the Nazis were in fact doing that very same thing and I'm sure Hitler would have used one, atop of a V2 rocket to destroy London, given the chance. Also, Heisenberg, a contemporary of Oppenheimer and he of the Uncertainty Principle was working with the Nazis on such a project. The cat was already out of the bag when fission was achieved experimentally.

Nice video mate

Thanks for another great episode

I recommend reading accounts of Hiroshima after detonation. Everything was on fire and scalding hot. People were burned so badly that it hurt less to hold your arms out at length as they tried to get to the river - like zombies. People went to the hospital but there was no one there to help them. It literally turned into Hell on Earth

And yet, some militarist faction even attempted a coup when the second bomb dropped and an unconditional surrender was seriously considered by Japanese high command.

That tiny glimpse of hell they saw won't compensate for the atrocities they did in Asia.

He did what he needed to do not what he wanted. A true hero.

Amazing that they had the foresight to film the explosion in IMAX.

Why is it with people, either they went through life unknown or laughed at, or in this case, too distracted with other things to finish/continue what's they were about to discover. Always makes me wonder how different our history could have been.

Hes a genius of extraordinary calibre. RIP Dr Oppenheimer. Cheers guys from lake Titicaca Peru

I think being associated with photo-electrons, black holes, and the atomic bomb is enough brilliance for anyone. That ought to be Oppenheimer's legacy... not he could have been, or should have been.

could have been Giving him the credit for something he never cared to put effort into discovering isn't earned Funny enough, Tomas Edison did more than most, yet people think he didn't "earn it" because other people were involved. He was as good of a business man as well as a scientist, which is more than any common mortal is able to achieve. In comparison, Oppenheimer is a guy that never put much effort into his work to be brilliant

I believe the quote youre referring to was partially worded at the trinity site. He couldn't remember the "destroyer of worlds" section until at an interview at a later date.

brilliant vid. And as always, amazing music 😎😎

I heard he always wondered about claiming what he was doing was evil and having pitty parties left and right yet continued on

Such an brilliant scientist gone too soon. Rest in peace.
