    The amplitude of the musical audio is much greater than the narrator's audio. It becomes a little annoying.

    It was scary to think when they tested the bomb they weren't 100% sure about causing a chain reaction.  And Oppenheimer thought they wouldn't make more and more powerful nukes. And If it's true that Truman believed the Soviets would never get the bomb.

    I have read the book , and I really enjoyed. One fact that impresses me is that the fear of a chain reaction was from a few scientists,  the most famous is Enrico Fermi . By the book, the other scientists were moderate on that argument .

    I grew up in the Los Alamos area where J Robert Oppenheimer and his colleagues made the first atomic bomb.  I was lucky enough to be acquainted with many of the original scientists of the Manhattan Project. Los Alamos in those days was a very small town where people knew each other.   Brilliant minds—-but very little common sense!

    Oppenheimer ended up regretting his contribution. Love World History. Thank you for sharing. 👍🏻

    It seems that Oppenheimer made the bomb out of scientific curiosity and it's importance at the time. He did not make because he liked what it did. That's why I like him. He was so smart that he knew the outcome of this discovery before a single device was used. In short, he knew the cold war would happen and that he had truly opened pandora's box, but for a "good" cause. Sort of.

    Any discussion of nuclear weapons always provokes in me the saying "just because we can, doesn't mean we should."

    Am I the only one who thinks he looks and sounds like Mr Rogers?

    This videos shows me, no matter how honest one is, people can hate you for reasons that do not match your morals, and in that ignorant loathing, can forbid one from reaching their full potential by being forbidden from accessing tools due to someone else deeming them unworthy of trust.<br>Oppenheimer, how much I relate to his views and experiences.
