New article in the Journal of Cold War Studies

[edit]

There's an excellent piece in the Times about whether Oppenheimer was a Communist party member. It's largely spurred by a new article in the Journal of Cold War Studies with contributions from four historians. I don't have the time myself, but it should probably be incorporated to ensure comprehensiveness. Cheers, ~ HAL333 20:02, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Famous quote

[edit]

After the first successful launch, Oppenheimer said the famous quote 'Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds' from the Bhagavad Gita. This might be important because it shows how much he regretted making the bomb. Lemonade.oppenheimer (talk) 08:12, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
