Oppenheimer

I've been looking forward to seeing Christopher Nolan's movie Oppenheimer. It was being discussed on the news and it was mentioned that J. Robert Oppenheimer and his student Hartland Snyder published a paper on Sept 1, 1939, considered the start of WWII, postulating the existence of black holes. It's thought that Oppenheimer could have won a Nobel Prize for that, had he not died. He never even thought or cared much about it, along with Albert Einstein. Wow.

There's a special on MSNBC Sunday night To End All War Oppenhiemer & The Atomic Bomb that will stream on Peacock afterwards.
