What about the Super? Does Truman even know about it? Did we brief him on that? Not specifically. ROBERT: We still don't know if a hydrogen bomb's technically feasible. Right, my understanding is that Teller proposed it? - ROBERT: Yes. - At Los Alamos? Teller's designs have always been wildly impractical. You'd have to deliver by ox cart. - Not airplane. - LAWRENCE: Oppie. I'm sorry, Dr. Lawrence, you want to comment?

- Is that... - ROBERT: Mrs. Serber, yes. I've offered jobs to all the wives. Admin, librarians, computation. We cut down on staff, keep families together. - Are these women qualified? - ROBERT: Don't be absurd. These are some of the brightest minds in our community. And they're already security cleared. I've informed General Groves you've been holding cross-divisional open discussions - on a nightly basis. - Shut them down. Compartmentalization is the key to maintaining security... CONDON: It's only the top men. Who presumably communicate with subordinates. These men aren't stupid. - They can be discreet. - I don't like it. You don't like anything enough for that to be a fair test.

(chuckles) I don't know. See where the math takes us. I guarantee it's somewhere no one's been before. Me? Yes, you. Your math is better than mine. (students laughing) SENATOR BARTLETT: Dr. Oppenheimer's file contained detail of his activities in Berkeley. Why would they have started a file on Dr. Oppenheimer before the war? Well, you'd have to ask Mr. Hoover. I'm asking you, Admiral Strauss. Uh, my assumption is that it was connected to his, uh, left-wing political activities.

Uh, I believe he's a chemist who works at Shell. He talked to a friend of his who's an acquaintance of someone on the project.

It would ignite the atmosphere. (whooshing) When we detonate an atomic device, we might start a chain reaction that... destroys the world.
