"It is a problem of how to live with the atomic bomb, and not how to live without it."
"The atomic bomb is a demonstration of the power of science, but it is also a demonstration of the folly of man."
"The only constant in life is change."
"The scientist is a man who knows how to make things, but he does not know how to live."
"Any man whose errors take ten years to correct is quite a man."
American theoretical physicist who directed the Manhattan Project's Los Alamos Laboratory and oversaw the atomic bombs; lost his security clearance in 1954. Closely associated with Niels Bohr (Manhattan Project consultant and atomic-policy advisor) and Hans Bethe (Los Alamos theoretical-division chief). For an intellectual contrast, see Edward Teller, Hungarian-American physicist and 'father of the H-bomb' — Teller pushed the H-bomb against Oppenheimer's objections and testified against him at his 1954 security hearing — the precise moment that ended Oppenheimer's career. The canonical 'physicist-of-conscience vs physicist-of-state' pairing in nuclear-age ethics; Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer (2023) dramatized this rivalry for a mass audience.
