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.

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.

(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.

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.
