Yep, and with such a wide-ranging breadth of knowledge of so many subjects, it's not hard to see why Gen. Groves first tasked him to head up the Manhattan Project, even though by all accounts they were such totally different 'temperaments'.
thank you for posting this speech. I am inspired by his actual voice and his spiritual voice as well. i found the questions mundane and his responses exquisite. Once again I am reminded that a fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer.
13:00 - Oppenheimer talked about physics and tradition. Increasing skills & knowledge, people would have wider choices instead of following tradition which does not correspond to the questions of nature. 19:30 - Progress in knowledge has not been matched by a progress in wisdom, by a progress in humanity, by a progress in virtual 20:30 - 4 points that have gone wrong in human understanding. Oppenheimer mentioned he would talk 2 of 4 points. 20:54 - 1st point - everything gets enormously bigger: the population, communication, more units/groups (meaning variety of different community). 22:59 - 2nd point (not mentioned that this is 2nd point though) : responsibilities and duties as family, community. "Notion of choice is never a simple one" (@). "No one really has any sense of what does develop on him" (@). 24:30 - Oppenheimer quotes Simone Weil 25:29 - 3rd point: valid communication among people who make decisions based on their wisdom, knowledge. ".. (this) Interferes in a cruel and to me heartbreaking way" (@) 26:14 - 4th point: the old eternal theme of nature harmonization, follows laws that between necessity and freedom, efficient cause or final/purpose cause. 27:37 - "Tradition is emptied of much of its content" (@) 28:28 - Further speech is devoted on last 2 points. 30:00 - 4 aspects of growth of knowledge 34:35 - "the world we have lived in the last years is going to get worse, not better" (@) 35:29 - "We are not any longer in youth will be very lucky indeed to know in 1 or 2 fields. Most people will be terribly out of touch with human knowledge at its growing tip" (@) 37:40 - "There are dangers in blowing up a 100K bombs is true and can be explained" (@) 43:42 - Experiment in Paris with dog and signals sent along acoustic nerve from the ear to acoustic cortex 45:49 - "Without tradition we would know nothing, but with tradition we have also lost a great deal of our possible knowledge" (@) 47:40 - My favourite one: "As really great discoveries are made in science, they may or they may not affect the way people think about the problems of their own lives about what is in vulgar sense called their 'philosophy'" (@) 1:11:03 - Oppenheimer jokes on audience questions moment: "could you please said it over again?"
That thumbnail is so uncanny I honestly had to look closely to be sure it wasn't just Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer. Strikingly similar eyes. They certainly chose the right actor for the role.
@@juanio7036 I agree on the product he created but not on himself as a person. He became a pacifist when he realized the consequence of the atomic bomb.

I think there’s much to be said about Oppenheimer. He was almost like a Demi god. Someone who had a sort of super power to know what wasn’t concretely known at that time. I love that that he read books on philosophy such as Bhagavad Gita in which he famously states “And now I am become death; destroyer of worlds.” As someone who follows in the footsteps (or perhaps lurks in the shadow of his greatness), I admire him not only because he had a sense of duty to his country but also a duty to mankind. A duty to warn mankind of the power of science. My mentor has written that our progression in science and technology is hardly comparable to our progression in morality. We live in a time of exponential progress. Every year there seems to be new ‘things’ for consumers.’ These advances have left us wanting more but feeling less about the sort of social and environmental impacts we are having
@@get11nethe didn't work alone! Basically the entire organization that he worked in was filled with demi-gods.

How blessed are we to still have access to some of their writings and recordings!
Been through what? Helping kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians? Or collaborating with the most evil regime on earth? Go fuck yourself retard
I gotta say I’m reading the book that Nolan’s film is based on, and so far I don’t think it’s depiction is that accurate of Oppenheimer, when I listen to him now
After seeing this picture of J. Robert Oppenheimer I don't have anymore doubt to admit that Chris Nolan made no mistake for casting Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer.
Wow, just wow. The project cobalt/blue gasious and codeine type study has the type elements he were looking for. One holds the atmospheric conditions, one seems to alter or dry/shrink water. It was to be a study , before the loss.
@@Johnconnoyou’re not wrong there, he did come from a wealthy background, but I think he at least put good use of it and rose to his full potential from it
How thorough yet succinct, technically precise, yet poetically loose. How exciting and yet chilling. This man is an intellectual-philisophical anomaly, able to strike the barriers of your intellect, simultaneously peircing the shield of your heart, beckoning our participation in reconciling the schism between the positive and negative impact in our pursuit of knowledge. His principle style of analysis by way of analogy is eerily similar to Alan Watts.
One of the points or arguments he makes, at least I think so, is the fact that the more a modern man learns about the facts of the universe, the greater his sense of his insignificance, and of his helplessness to change his universe. In his mind, martyrdom, therefore becomes futile.
How do you know Oppenheimer believes martyrdom is futile? You appear to believe that while projecting your dogma onto an intellect far more flexible and understanding than yours.
And we wonder , WHY the officialdom of the USA , takes the Gvt.. from one disaster to the next ... karma is a horrible unforgiving and uncaring Lady ... the 🐱🐱🐱👺
And please do not forget Gordon Welchman, a man of similar stature to Dr. Oppenheimer and who made a similarly important contribution to the war who was also witch-hunted lost his security clearance), and, unlike "Opppie", from what I saw on the Smithsonian Channel documentary about him, his past was "clean". Ticks and fleas can kill you.
Yes, he did. Coincidentally, Alan Turing committed suicide with an apple laced with cyanide. The Apple computer brand is a homage to the father of digital computers. British code breaker who helped the Allies defeat Nazi Germany, shortening WWII by two years, thus sparing 14 million lives
I'm not sure you can say that for all scientific discoveries. Or even most scientific discoveries. The atomic bomb was a clear case where everyone working on it knew what they were doing. But the first person to split the atom...can you hold them morally responsible for the onset of nuclear proliferation? And most 'malign' scientific discoveries are benign at first, and it takes someone morally bankrupt to come along and see the potential in them to cause harm. Darwin discovered evolution by natural selection, but you cannot hold him responsible for the fact that a century later the Nazis weaponised his discovery and perverted it for the purposes of racist eugenics.
@@harshgarrett ...Or for people who were brought up in a very religious household. Or a very religious country. Or for people who through no fault of their own are thrown on the scrapheap of society and are at the end of their rope. Or for people who feel a strong cultural attachment to their religion but don't really believe. Etc. Luck captures everything. The only reason you don't pray is because you were lucky enough to be born to secular parents. Or born in a secular country where prayer isn't forced upon you. Or you were just lucky enough to be born with a brain that's sceptical by its nature. Or you were lucky enough to come across a book that convinced you that prayer is nonsense. You can't take credit for the complete luck of your being an atheist, and likewise you can't blame people, or call them 'weak' for the complete luck of their being religious and believing in prayer.
@@thesprawl2361 I was raised in the church. I didn't start thinking for myself until I was 15. Anyone can be antireligious even if they still are forced to go to church. If you're an adult and believe in religion and prayer, you're a complete joke who doesn't deserve respect because you're so fucking dumb.
37:20 haha, wtf. Sometimes I forgot how old the history of climate change is. Our not switching from fossil fuels to nuclear power in the 50s is one of the greatest harms we humans ever performed on our dear planet.
Oppenheimer states at the begins by stating: "You (the audience) primarily concerned with salvation and I primarily concerned with acquisition of knowledge." "We are both in trouble." Audience laughs. Why?
19:50 I have to disagree with Oppenheimer here. I do believe that we do have some really great humans in our present times whose virtue parallels that of ancient examples. In his lifetime, both Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. were alive and they were rather virtuous. And there were other humans soon to come after 1958 that were quite wise as well that Oppenheimer might not have been aware of. I do believe in the human possibility of achieving perfect wisdom.
when he was director of the IAS , he sent an official letter of reprimand to physicist freeman dyson because he went to a black restaurant regularely , and you're talking about MLK lol . who knows what he means by "wisdom" , just a bored rich guy
Who is the person who introduced Oppenheimer? Presents a conviction that Oppenheimer was greatly wronged because of the mood at the time. Mode? McCarthyism? Dr McGuyer?
A lot of people don’t understand without this man and the success of the Manhattan project, the US would have invaded mainland Japan and likely lost 1 million men. As bad as Hiroshima / Nagasaki were- ( and Oppenheimer understood this ) it was better than the alternative of an invasion of Japan. He saved many many many American soldiers from certain death.
I would not be here most likely. My grandfather was destined to be part of the invasion. After fighting across the pacific, he said he was certain he’d be killed in the invasion of the homeland.
@@bedminsterericso many Americans do not understand this and the terrible sacrifice our WWII soldiers such as your grandfather ( and mine too ) made so we could be here. The invasion of Japan would have almost certainly cost us a million + soldiers. The bomb was by far the lesser of the two evils. For anyone out there that’s a Jew hater ( and I’m Christian ) they are truly ignorant not to comprehend it was a Jew that ended up saving so many of our soldiers and beat the Nazis in the race to develop the bomb. The truth IS the truth.
Americans are good at excusing their own war crimes against innocent civilians, even 50+ years later. If it would be done by USSR, China or any 'unfriendly' country or even terrorist organization they would call this great crime against humanity, liberty and democracy. Big hypocrisy.
They could have just formed a blockade/embargo like they have done with Cuba. Several of the generals at the time felt the Bomb was not needed. One of the reasons the Japanese were so hawkish against its neighbors was for natural resources which they had very little of. Oil, coal, rubber even food was co-opted from China, Philippines, etc. American bombers were pulverizing the island nation. They had no defenses and did not have the capacity to rearm themselves. Isn't reported somewhere the Japanese conditional surrender term was that the Emperor be allowed to remain on the throne? He was not calling the shots in the war but a separate system of military men. We see a repeat of lack our refusal to act diplomatically in conflicts around the world were the U.S. preferably likes to impose it might on an opponent.
1 million is a very low number it would most likely be in the millions and Japanese civilians and soldiers would be in the tens of millions, Japan didn’t even want to surrender after both bombings until the Soviets declared war on them and began an invasion of their own that they surrendered.
Cillian Murphy played the best historical acting role. He did such a phenomenal job as Oppenheimer
Yes, he did 😊
That movie was almost as much of a crime as dropping the bomb on random Jap women and children Lmfao. Nolan lost his damn mind
fr !!!!
Yes, but it's a great pity that the movie itself was so unbelievably boring, especially given the subject matter.

Right? Especially after watching the second trailer of the movie.
Murphy looks nothing like Oppenheimer, nobody does. 🕳️
No, I disagree he definitely has some resemblance to him. Especially in his younger years.

Speaks with the gentle cadence of Mr Rogers ... simple clear and precise English ... His student were very fortunate ..
Indeed, but his students also had to keep up with him. He was rigorous and expected no lagging or misunderstanding
I like to listen to his interviews at night when trying to sleep
7:11 Oppenheimer starts
Thanks!
I think it's 7:33. The 10s timing is just an announcement about the overflow room.
Before or after the bomb ?
Oppenheimer and Cillians eyes are exactly the same, at first glance I thought it was him
This lecture is Oppenheimer at his best!
he was at his best in the 30s. This is less than a decade before his death

So eloquent - Oppenheimer’s extraordinary intelligence shows silently but clearly.

Americans are good at excusing their own war crimes against innocent civilians, even 50+ years later. If it would be done by USSR, China or any 'unfriendly' country or even terrorist organization they would call this great crime against humanity, liberty and democracy. Big hypocrisy.
They could have just formed a blockade/embargo like they have done with Cuba. Several of the generals at the time felt the Bomb was not needed. One of the reasons the Japanese were so hawkish against its neighbors was for natural resources which they had very little of. Oil, coal, rubber even food was co-opted from China, Philippines, etc. American bombers were pulverizing the island nation. They had no defenses and did not have the capacity to rearm themselves. Isn't reported somewhere the Japanese conditional surrender term was that the Emperor be allowed to remain on the throne? He was not calling the shots in the war but a separate system of military men. We see a repeat of lack our refusal to act diplomatically in conflicts around the world were the U.S. preferably likes to impose it might on an opponent.
1 million is a very low number it would most likely be in the millions and Japanese civilians and soldiers would be in the tens of millions, Japan didn’t even want to surrender after both bombings until the Soviets declared war on them and began an invasion of their own that they surrendered.
All that brain power in Princeton couldn't prevent feedback.
