A movie on Oppenheimer

Everyone is saying how the new Oppenheimer will be the film of the year and how it could save Hollywood. Some other directors describe it as a kind of horror movie.

I think we should make a movie about Edward Teller instead of Oppenheimer, one that is historically accurate and not a Oppenheimer horror story.

All I know is that Nanos would not have put up with some clown cowboy like Oppenheimer and would shut the 1945 lab down as fast as he could. What was done at Los Alamos that could not be done elsewhere?

As you can see Los Alamos has always been a problem filled with problems and cowboys. Lewis Strauss/Tony Stark is great American hero who like Nanos "got it".

Nanos was on record as saying, “A man like Richard Feynman could not work at (today’s) Los Alamos”. Ironically, it is one of the few true statements Nanos ever made as Director.

This is a hot take that throws some support for Nanos and friends


If Oppenheimer and his associates didn't leak the nuclear bomb secrets to the Soviets, America would have been the only country with a nuclear bomb

America could have potentially pushed the soviets out of eastern europe because it had a nuclear weapon and saved the millions of slavic (and other) people 80 years of crushing communism that they are still catching up from.

After the war, Robert Oppenheimer remarked that the physicists involved in the Manhattan project had "known sin". Von Neumann's response was that "sometimes someone confesses a sin in order to take credit for it." lol

Classic line from Von Neumann: "If you say why not bomb [the Soviets] tomorrow, I say, why not today? If you say today at five o'clock, I say why not one o'clock?"
