Oppenheimer

I stare down at my watch engraved with my name, J. Robert Oppenheimer. It clearly read in bold numerical digits, 0330. I know that in exactly two hours, two billion government dollars would be tested. The result would change the course of history for better and for worse.

Groves was politically conservative and vocally anti-New Deal while Oppenheimer had socialist tendencies and enjoyed reading Marx

Chris Langan and Robert Oppenheimer are both profound and intelligent authoritative figures, but other than smarts they could not be more different. For example, Gladwell illustrates the early lives of the men by detailing: Langon and Oppenheimer, both with very high IQs, both ran into problems during college, Langon’s mom forgot to fill out paperwork resulting in him losing his scholarship to college, while Oppenheimer tried to poison his tutor resulting in merely just psychiatric treatment (98)

To test how audiences perceive strong female characters, Oppenheimer, Goodman, Adams‐Price, Codling, and Coker (2003) ran a study where they had participants rate strong female characters on a feminine to masculine scale, as well as attractiveness, sex appeal, relatability not a word, and humor on a 7-point scale.
