I tried Personnel. They asked if I could type. Can you? Harvard forgot to teach that on the graduate chemistry course.

Coming right up. Conversation ended there. Nothing in our long-standing friendship would have led me to believe that Chevalier was actually seeking information, and I am certain that he had no idea of the work in which I was engaged.
Oppenheimer

Is there anything else that might stop us? (thunder rumbling)
Oppenheimer
12.4s
No, thank you. It's a long way to Zurich. You get any skinnier, we're gonna lose you between the seat cushions. I'm Rabi. Oppenheimer. I caught your lecture on molecules. Caught some of it.

Then we'll get not kilotons, but megatons. FEYNMAN: A big fission reaction... Okay, hang on, hang on. So how do you generate enough force to fuse hydrogen atoms? A small fission bomb. FEYNMAN: There we are. - (laughter) - (scattered applause) Well, since we're going to need one anyway, can we get back to the business at hand? SENATOR BARTLETT: The isotopes issue wasn't your most important policy disagreement with Dr. Oppenheimer. It was the hydrogen bomb, wasn't it? Uh, as colleagues, we agreed to disagree on a great many things, uh, and, well, one of them was the need for an H-bomb program, yes. - (siren wailing) - (uneasy music playing)

I don't know.

You idiot. This is your community. You think the rules don't apply to the golden boy?

STRAUSS: Genius is no guarantee of wisdom. How could this man who saw so much be so blind?
Oppenheimer
10.5s
Oh. Well, I hope you learned something. Yeah, we learned we're gonna need to be a lot further away. Well, figure it out. Fast. We leave for Washington in the morning. We're gonna give them a date.

Condon, put Mrs. Hornig here on the plutonium team.

(lively chatter and laughter) Hey! (playing upbeat music)

When it became clear to me that we would tend to use any weapon we had.

What do you know about quantum mechanics? I have a grasp on the basics. Then you're doing it wrong. (classical music playing) Is light made up of particles or waves? Quantum mechanics says it's both. How could it be both? - It can't. - It can't. But it is. It's paradoxical, and yet, it works.
