Mr. Robert Oppenheimer
Robert Oppenheimer, born into a wealthy Jewish family in New York City, was a prominent physicist. His father, a successful executive in America, had left Germany, while his mother was a painter. Oppenheimer's early interest in minerals and sciences led him to attend prestigious schools and pursue physics at Cambridge and Gottingen after graduating from Harvard. His doctoral work and the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation showcased his potential as a theoretical physicist. Despite being a chain smoker and making poor judgments, Oppenheimer's interest in Eastern philosophy and mysticism, as well as his involvement in the Manhattan Project, shaped his complex and influential figure in the field of physics. His personal experiences with the Nazis and support for German Jews fleeing persecution, along with his crucial role as the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory during World War II, demonstrated his significant impact on the development of the nuclear bomb.
