Описание: Oppenheimer said that a verse had entered his head at that time of the explosion of the atomic bomb: "kalo'smi lokakayaktpravddho lokansamahartumiha pravtta" (XI,32), which he translated as "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." In 1965, when he was persuaded to quote again for a television broadcast, he said: We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that, one way or another. Julius Robert Oppenheimer (1904–1967) was an American theoretical physicist and director of the Manhattan Project's Los Alamos Laboratory (Project Y) during World War II. He is often credited as the "father of the atomic bomb" for his role in creating the first nuclear weapons. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Oppenheimer Oppenheimer is a 2023 biographical thriller film written and directed by Christopher Nolan. Based on the 2005 biography American Prometheus by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, the film chronicles the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, a theoretical physicist who was pivotal in developing the first nuclear weapons as part of the Manhattan Project, and thereby ushering in the Atomic Age. Cillian Murphy stars as Oppenheimer, with Emily Blunt as Oppenheimer's wife Kitty Oppenheimer, Matt Damon as General Leslie Groves, director of the Manhattan Project, and Robert Downey Jr. as Lewis Strauss, a senior member of the United States Atomic Energy Commission. The ensemble supporting cast includes Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett, Casey Affleck, Rami Malek and Kenneth Branagh. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppenheimer_(film) According to Janan Ganesh at the Financial Times, the movie Oppenheimer is a great film about the wrong man. Harry Truman, travestied in the film, built the world we live in, and stand to lose. www.ft.com/content/33623f2d-d686-4369-b472-5b3a4df30bc1 Public domain portrait of J.
