My father was a navigator on a B29 bomber that was tasked with dropping a third atomic bomb on Japan. I am so thankful that he never had to be part of a third bomb and so much death and destruction. Upon his discharge from service after the war, my mild mannered Dad, an Iowa boy from a tiny town, finished college in Iowa to become a dentist. Then he moved back to San Antonio , Texas, where he had been stationed in the war, to start his dental practice. He died in 2020 of COVID, at the age of 94.

❤️‍🔥✝️🕊 Thank You for sharing a window into True History. Your Dad was Blessed that day. I was raised watching WWII movies throughout my life (76). TV in the 50’s & “halfway” through the 60s were still Focusing & Feeding “The HeroicUSA” Image and Love for our Beautiful Nation. Yet, I grew up clueless to the reality of The Wars around me. Throughout, The 50s, 60s . . . I was still very clueless for years. 1963 was the turning point for me; On Nov 22, It was the Shot Heard Around The World, which, introduced a twinkle of our true reality. I had no clue then and for years how terrible, what we can’t see, reality truly is. One thing I believe, That Day, in 1963 Flipped ⌛️/⏳ our Human History’s Hour Glass. Even now, we are still so clueless to certain realities & Truths. This documentary helped me to see an understand a little bit more of the truths behind the curtain. The Truth is out there, for those with Eyes to See & Ears to Hear. (Luke 8:17-18) Again, Thank You for sharing ❤️✝️❤️

@nicolelillis2077 : Thanks for the suggestion. I was born in 1933, in a desert copper miningtown in Arizona , during the Great Depression. I am Mexican-American and did not speak English until I started school. My dad and uncles were copper miners. I remember the "Grapes of Wrath" type scenes of poor people migrating to California and how many were helped by we Mexicans with food and repairs to their loaded down trucks. As a kid, I thought writing was magical and from that books...My first book was a last chapter burnt copy of "The Wizard of Oz" that I rescued from the city dump. I got a library card at age 12 and it was a turning point in my life... I loved the librarian lady who made a bit of a ceremony in giving me that card... I can see her now. I love John Steinbeck because all his books capture the times and people... Skipping far ahead to high school in Los Angeles county... I loved school and excelled in science...but was terrible in history. Notably, our HS had high numbers of "Mexican" students and numbers of Jewish teachers. These teachers had a special kind of empathy for us " Mexican" kids and made great differences in our lives. I married right soon after graduating HS. My " love" was a Latina born in NM coal mining town and her family moved to Los Angeles during WW2...She had 13 siblings... and I loved them all.... We had 3 kids and they all turned out great! My wonderful wife was very intelligent but pensive quiet and often guided our family to better roads. I have to stop here... My " love" passed away in April ( after a prolonged series of health issues). The entire family was with her in her final days and minutes....She chose to go " happily" in a hospice... I opened a window for her spirit to join the passing clouds on her way to Heaven. Her ashes are scattered in beautiful areas that have spiritual essence .... Thanks for the opportunity to say some things...it helped. PAZ

As a Japanese, I can’t help thinking that he is in charge of the death of hundreds of thousand people. However, after watching this, I thought that he is just a good citizen who has loyalty to the US and is a genius scientist who realized nuclear power on earth. The story of his life was so impressive. I am thankful to the author of this video.

I was a student at UC Berkeley from 1965-1968. I studied between classes at a large study room at LeConte Hall, the Physics building. During breaks in my studies I would go upstairs and check out the different offices. At the time there were five offices on one floor, each a Nobel prize winner in physics. One of them had the name of J. Robert Oppenheimer…even though he was no longer on faculty! That’s how much he was honored.

I discovered physics in the Greek version of the Jewish Bible. I remember thinking that Einstein must have understood this, but I guess not. Moses created a type of the pattern of all things. Several examples are given of 3 shells and a fourth. The electon enters the kingdom and travels toward the proton in quantum steps gathering portions of light. The difference is that the shells are called courts. The electon (no r) is drawn to the proton by cords of love. Each shell seems to hold 2 steps. The 7th takes the electon to the foot of the proton and like an octave, the 8th step sends the electon back to the first step in the first shell. But it now has given birth to a copy or "spirit" of itself. The created copy can be sent anywhere, but the original will follow to join it. It cannot be restrained by iron which will open itself to let the electon pass, passing on speedily so long as it isn't seen. Focus is a very important concept. It seems as if the electon takes this journey toward the proton twice for a total of 14 steps. But this time it passes past the proton and enters the hidden dimension. ▪︎ In another example, the sky is divided into 3 strata and a 4th. Ice crystals are on the floor of the 4th, so I take this to be the snow clouds. From here comes lightning. This is in the oldest of the books. What fascinates me most is that this light is encoded with language. Since science largely dismisses religion, I don't know of any attempts of physicists to learn from it.

Of course the man was mercurial and grappling with the magnitude of the situation, which he had understanding of; but certainly not fully, as it had never been done before! Having previously been under investigation by the FBI, and knowing that what he was involved in reflected on his service in government; there was the need for a stiff upper lip. His people he was in charge of would certainly be taking cues from watching him, as well. He would have been briefed repeatedly throughout this endeavor by the man who selected him for his position at the lab. ⏳ Even 'guarded emotions' are not cut and dry ...

My parents both worked at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, from July 1944 to October 1945. Daddy was an engine mechanic on engines of all sorts--after his career as a mechanic on B-17s in Memphis. Mother was the only female electrician on the complex, and worked in a room where the electricity would pull bobby pins from her hair. Neither knew what they were doing, were working on or for, but on August 7 when they discovered what had happened, they suddenly knew they had been a big part of the Manhattan Project. For many years they didn't talk about what they had done, only 50 years later did they fully divulge their jobs and their contribution to the project. Pride doesn't begin to describe the feelings I have for my parents at that time in our history.

The movie did better at fleshing out Oppenheimer as a living, breathing human but seemed to twist him to fit a plot.

I would not say that he "saved" because that also means that he"killed". It was Truman who decided to drop it twice and we may never know, but it was not necessary, most likely, to kill so many to stop that war. Having said that. Your family exists because your grandfather survived. Had it taken 2 more weeks, fewer citizens would have died but more serving soldiers. Still less than the citizens of those cities. What a cruel thing to say to a descendant of a survivor. I know. War is bad. It's in all of us, despite it being ended and the time we live in called peace. Once started, it never goes away as it stays inside our heads, causes PTSS and influences parenting, has formed our families for over generations. Stress is building up in the world. I fear history is being forgotten while it is right under our noses. The instruments of war politics are lubricated and shiny. Politicians divide rather than join people. Retorica of fascism is being practiced in Europe and they call themselves fighting for liberty while it's actually nationalism all over again.😢

The problem of politics informing fact- reality was the same during the Joe McCarthy red scare politics as it is today during the maga immigrant-woke scare. Cohn, McCarthy, Nixon and other amoral opportunists went looking for high profile people they could accuse of crimes, crucify in hearings, manufacture evidence, and create public panic to convict in the court of public opinion without bothering with the law or legal weighing of actual evidence. People finally got sick of it and turned on Mc Carthy and Cohn and others tarnished by association. I am hoping the same course correction awaits the maga bunch.

I already had little desire to see what Hollywood made of "Oppenheimer" based on what I previously knew about this independent spirit and multi-dimensional genius, and after seeing this excellent documentary, my initial hesitation to see a cardboard version of this 20th century 'loner' has only become stronger. Oppenheimer remains a mystery to me in many of his facets but he has gained my sympathy, and this documentary only affirms that he basically was human after all. Well done!

Thank you for this video, I saw the movie Oppenheimer when it came out and I didn’t understand the movie but this video has helped me to understand the movie, I wish I would have watched this before I saw the movie 🎥

An excellent documentary on a very brilliant and complex man.

This is really amazing ❤

Amazing , thank you so very much 😊❤

Beautifully done!

Openheimer is described as being weird, socialy inadapted, brilliant is many domains, that's called having Asperger Syndrome, just as many other brilliant figures in history. Even nowadays people aren't taught about that and don't react accordingly.

You are sooo right. Even instiane was as well. Lewis carrol so many others. Newton. My son is autistic with asbergers. He isnt a genius but you never make a bet with him pertaining to movies,actors or directors. He will win every time...

may not have been autism at ALL. Kids who are brilliant never fit in with their own age. Such as high IQs that used to skip 4 grades and such...they never learn to be with their own emotional age group and might end up only socializing with adults because of the intellectual needs. This is one reason schools no longer push kids out of their age groups in gifted programs but try to help them grow within their own. Poor emotional development is a risk of the brilliant genius. if parents are ever gifted with that kind of kid, they must work very hard to help the kid integrate with kids their own age. That this documentary at one point describes Oppenheimer as "adolescent" supports this. These brilliant kids remain awkward and emotionally stunted if this inequality of emotional development and brain power isn't dealt with.

I was thinking the same thing. My grandson has Asbergers

An interesting documentary and glad I watched it. A very sad ending for a brilliant, ecentric man who ended WW2 (Pacific Theater) but felt a conscience to stop the weapon from getting out of control, by those above him. Truman would be pushing a blank button if the bomb was not built......the biggest tragedy was his daughter who was penalised by having his father's surname.

Exceptional! Thank you.

This was awesome for me, thank you.

I find it odd that in today's age that being a loner is considered as being weird. It still holds true, even today but in reality, the loneliest people in the world are the most stable and most brilliant!

@@NancySanders-om4ic A loner will speak to themselves, they don't need input nor anybody else to speak to. They don't have many friends nor acquaintances; they don't need social recognition nor acceptance. Most geniuses' need quiet time and no social nor outside distractions to think through what they're doing. That's my point. I can list other things if you need more convincing. I don't have many friends either, but I'm no geniuses' either (I was in black ops, can't talk much about that)!!! I just have a few friends that I rely on for comfort. People find this odd or weird, so be it! I've been branded as socially awkward because I don't socialize. So be it, oh well Nancy! So, there's your long answer/explicative perspective answer.

well hon, they do know the secret of 'fusion'...of course it would not be as financially lucrative...so the powers that be keep that secret.

Besides, the only ones polluting so much are the ...rich...corporations! So, who should pay!!!

That's so incredible! I, actually, was hired to do the typesetting for your Aunt's book, by Modern Press in Albuquerque. It was typed with a photon computer (quite unique at the time). I had to come and type in the evenings, because their equipment was not available for outside jobs during the day. The book was named for the post office box your Aunt & Uncle had in Santa Fe. It was their only connection to the outside world! I did so enjoy that project. Was sorry when it was finished. A truly insightful glimpse into life "on the hill", ... nothing so glamorous as even this documentary portrayed.

Very well done, thank you

My understanding of Openheimer's career, was that his brilliant mastery and understanding of theoretical physics, was such that he was encouraged to embark on creating the atom bomb by both the scientific community and politicians, and not because his objective was to harm or destroy humanity by creating an atom bomb. This was his weakness, for which he paid a heavy price with his conscience.The flip side was that the research into fusion and fision HAS led to great progress in the harness of nuclear power for peaceful energy purposes, and if Oppenheimer had considered this alternative at the outset, I believe he would not have become such a tragic figure. Doubtless others would have taken on the challenge who may not have had the humanity and decency that he possessed. I found that this documentary was more informative that the film; however the book by Bird & Sherwin 'American Prometheus' is even better!

In Boulder, beginning before I moved there in 1977, existed the "Rocky Flats Truth Force" ~ militating against the Rockwell Rocky Flats plant ~ and the huge "cluster" of cancer victims in a downwind city closer to Denver... and the "çhit " they created left Rocky Flats by trains, weekly, through Denver 😮😮 one protester lost both(?) legs, refusing to move from the approaching train. 😢

I'm no privileged intellectual, but I too, fell in love with New Mexico in my teenage years as a way to escape the suburbs of an eastern city. Many years later, the infatuation still remains.

Fantastic documentary, I attended 6th&7th grade in Alamogordo.

Ernest Thomas Sinton Walton (6 October 1903 - 25 June 1995) was an Irish physicist and Nobel laureate who first split the atom. My mother-in-law's first cousin .

Before anyone condems Robert Oppenheimer and those that developed the Atomic Bombs, REMEMBER THIS! Had Germany or Japan had the bomb first, they would have used it! As many lives that were lost, there would have been many more lives lost if the bombs hadn't been moved.

A great drinking game would be to take a shot every time you hear the word, "PRIVILEGED". You'll be "slurring your keyboard" after 6 minutes in. That said, a VERY excellent and informative video!

This is an extraordinary amazing Documentary which shows many outdoors landscapes and the music is a very nice compliment. †

Important to read the accounts written by the people who were there. Freeman Dyson has a remarkable story and tells it very well. I've read several and they all fill in the blanks. He worked near Oppenheimer at Institute For Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ. See IAS. New and used books available.

Many insightful perspectives on the man, especially from Clay Jenkinson. An arresting comment right at the end - that 'America goes through these periods of historical craziness'. Hopefully it will move beyond the current one.
