  • Well done. Very comprehensive. Your quick editing style worked well. Enjoyed especially the discussion of the ethical and moral implications of scientific advancement.

    I am about just finished reading Oppie's biography (An American Prometheus). His intellect and oratory skills were remarkable. I wonder where I might find more audio/video clips of him on the internet.

  • There's a good documentary on PBS called American Experience - The Trials of J. Robert Oppenheimer. I believe it's online somewhere...

see all

  • Lies.

    Oppenheimer's family was one of the 13 richest zionist jewish families in the world.

    Robert knew exactly what was going on until his zionist masters actually used the bomb

    unnecessarily on Japan AFTER Japan had offered to surrender many times.

    The bomb was the zionists wet dream of the ultimate worldwide blackmail/extortion weapon.

  • How many bombs does it take to create a nuclear winter ?

  • Very nice summary.

  • wow. thanks 

  • Well done!! Thankyou :)

  • @potatoskinned thanks a lot for sharing this!!

  • @mrsoul44 me too its a shame were 10 months apart.. hes an incredible man>>

  • @bigshel99 As far as I know, USSR and USA physicists revealed that a nuclear world war can actually never happen (and made politicians agree with them), because there's something weird going on - once above a certain concentration level of nuclear explosives, you can no longer isolate them. This meant that once above that critical quantity, if a single missile went off in the US, it could set off the entire planets', it could remotely set off all the rest!

  • @VERGIS92 I've heard that statement many a time and it's a double edge sword. Sure, it's made people more leery of going to war and thus avoided some major wars (the US and USSR would have likely kicked off WW3 if not)... but at the same time the stakes of the next major war could be a major shift if not the end of most life on the planet.

  • @bigshel99 Nuclear weapons have actually made the world safer, averted conflicts, and saved far more lives than they have killed.
