Great minds influence what they theorized, it's not just something up in the sky which everyone could catch and explain. Ideas aren't neutral and never been neutral, retard.

Newton stuck a needle deep between his eye and eye socket to see how it changed his eye’s lens. It’s chuuni to say it, but I think science has always had a kernel of disregard for human life, and modern attempts to clean up its image only paper it over. Dr. Frankenstein was called the “Modern Prometheus” too

nostr:npub1g0uss0sjsgxwmhqxgnvlj0zv9ru89xwfyktkcjc0kgy8syxj79ss383vfw Before the Trinity test, there was a concern thar nuclear fission was so powerful that it could ignite the whole atmosphere. Theory predicted it was very unlikely, but that was all. When those scientists at Los Alamos did the test, they knew full well that there was a slim chance they would end the world right then and there. But they pushed the button anyways.

So I think there are two sides to this coin. They had to be willing to reduce the world to ashes in order to usher us in to this strange new era of nuclear peace.

This is another thing which the movie portrays well. At least, it rightfully emphasizes it.

One thing that didn’t make the cut, but I wish it did, was how Fermi dropped some shredded paper during the blast and watched how far the wind blew them in order to estimate the megaton yield.

> even though they don't have a proper guarantee that the other actors will act with the same faith they do

wdym? if the opponent breaks the pact you can retaliate on your way out. it's achieved near universal cooperation because it's the strongest guarantee of mutually assured destruction yet discovered. just basic game theory

it will fail the instant any truly suicidal group takes the helm

You guys must remember that Oppenheimer did nothing, they got their data from the Germans. He was just a retarded jew like Einstein who deserved to be killed at a moment notice. I thought you're smarter than this lol but you can't even think beyond what's portrayed by the media.

The power of an atomic blast is so often compared to that of the stars, the heavens, the gods - right down to the name of the first detonation test, “Trinity.” Oppenheimer’s famous quote about becoming “death, destroyer of worlds,” is quoted from the words of Shiva the Destroyer in the Baghavad Gita iirc. The movie is based on a book, American Prometheus, and Prometheus *stole* fire to give to humans - he didn’t create it. The sense that it’s a “trick” comes from the feeling that this great power wasn’t meant for us, that we are “cheating” the universe, that we are tresspassing the domain of God

nostr:npub1g0uss0sjsgxwmhqxgnvlj0zv9ru89xwfyktkcjc0kgy8syxj79ss383vfw It was a great movie because of how it leaned into the greatness of its source material. The portrayable was portrayed well, including the experience of scientific discovery (which is abstract - a lot of science films miss this, while the kekule story gets it right), and what was unportrayable was appropriately left unportrayed. Oppenheimer staring into a close up shot, distorted by the frame into seeming to look both directions at once, is so frequent that it’s become a meme but it’s used well
