(scoffs) This is one of the most prestigious appointments in the country. Yes, with a great commute. That's why I'm considering it. SENATOR McGEE: So, Dr. Oppenheimer brought your attention to his past associations before you appointed him? Yes. And it didn't concern you? Just then, I was entirely consumed with what he must have said to Einstein to sour him on me. (laughter)

Admiral Strauss, I'm interested in your relationship with Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. You met him in 1947? Correct. You were commissioner of the Atomic Energy Commission? I was, but I-I actually met Robert in my capacity as board member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton because after the war, he was world-renowned as the great man of physics, and I was determined to get him to run the Institute.

(brooding music playing) After the truth about Fuchs came out, the FBI stepped up surveillance on him. He knew his phone was tapped, he was followed everywhere... his trash picked through.

(sighs) Klaus Fuchs, the British scientist that you put onto the implosion team at Los Alamos, turns out he was... he was spying for the Soviets the whole time. I'm sorry.
Oppenheimer

I'm told he's there most afternoons. You know, I've always wondered why you didn't involve him in the Manhattan Project. Greatest scientific mind of our time. Of his time. Einstein published his Theory of Relativity more than 40 years ago now.

BOHR: Quantum physics is not a step forward, it is a new way to understand reality. Einstein's opened the door, now we are peering through, seeing a world inside our world. A world of energy and paradox that not everyone can accept.

(sighs) A Yank, lecturing on the new physics? This I have to hear. I'm an American myself. How surprising. Um... Let me know if you need any help with the English.

Göttingen. - Born? - Born. Get to Germany, study under Max Born. Learn the ways of theory. I'll send word. (gasps) - Wormhole. (exhales) - (apple clatters in trashcan) How's your mathematics? Not good enough for the physicist he wants to be. Algebra's like sheet music. The important thing isn't "Can you read music?" It's "Can you hear it?" Can you hear the music, Robert? Yes, I can.
