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)

So, you're a biologist. Well, somehow I have graduated to housewife. Can you explain quantum mechanics to me? Seems baffling. Yes, it is. Well, this glass, this drink... - (knocks countertop) - this countertop, uh, our bodies... all of it. It's mostly empty space. Groupings of tiny energy waves bound together. By what? Forces of attraction strong enough to convince us that matter is solid. Stop my body passing through yours.

ROBB: Did you think that consistent with good security? - As a matter of fact, it was. - (rhythmic stomping) Not a word. ROBB: When did you see her after that?

Do you? Hmm? GROVES: One final time, our program director, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. (applause) ROBERT: I hope that in years to come you will look back on your work here with pride. But today, that pride must be tempered with a profound concern.

It's not that simple, Hoke. MAN: Chevalier, good to see you. It's... Ah, Barbara, good to see you and the illustrious Dr. Oppenheimer. I'm Eltenton. - ROBERT: Oh, pleasure. - Please, please. Now, might you say a word about organized labor on campuses, yes? Coming through! Coming through! - (chanting): F.A.E.C.T.! - I work at Shell. We've signed up chemists, we've signed up engineers, so why not scientists in academia? (chanting): Oppie! Oppie! Oppie! Oppie! Oppie! Oppie! Oppie! Oppie! Oppie! - Oppie! Oppie! Oppie! - (cheers and applause)

Did Truman brief Stalin at Potsdam? A brief would be an overstatement. He referred to a powerful new weapon. Stalin hoped we'd use it against Japan.

GARRISON: Dr. Rabi, what governmental positions do you currently hold? I am the chairman of the General Advisory Committee to the AEC, succeeding Dr. Oppenheimer. GARRISON: And how long have you known Dr. Oppenheimer? Since 1928. I... I know him quite well. Well enough to speak to the bearing of his loyalty and character? Dr. Oppenheimer is a man of upstanding character. And he is loyal to the United States, to his friends, to the institutions of which he is part.

SERBER: Donald, would you like to contribute here? Please, help me out. HORNIG: You're on your own, pal. Bob, I'm not quitting my job because plutonium is radioactive. We just don't know what it might do to the female reproductive system... Your reproductive system is more exposed than mine, presumably. Can we please? The implosion device is nowhere. Hey, you can't rush everything. - Oppie, please. - Well, there's rushing and there's getting on with it, so pick one. Wait. Neddermeyer's doing his job. Teller's not helping. You're not helping. I've been asking for calculations on the implosion lenses for weeks. The British can do it. Fuchs. Absolutely. It's your job, Teller. I'm engaged in research. On a hydrogen bomb we're not even building. (others laughing)

PASH: "Results of surveillance conducted on subject "indicate further possible Communist Party connections. "Subject met with and spent considerable time "with one Jean Tatlock, Communist, the record of whom is attached." The subject being Dr. Oppenheimer? - PASH: Yes. - ROBB: Whom you had not met? PASH: Not then, but soon after. He's the head of security for the project. Shouldn't I know him? No, he should know you. I would never put you in a room with Pash. - Why not? - (sighs) When Pash first heard about Lomanitz, he told the FBI he was gonna kidnap him, take him out on a boat and interrogate him in the Russian manner.
