#Oppenheimer (2023)
The life story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist who had a large hand in the development of the atomic bombs that brought an end to World War II.

Has nobody seen #Oppenheimer? The #Apollo mission?
Has no one seen, with century old technology, what we accomplished against diseases like TB, #polio, #malaria, #MMR?
What we lack is courage, imagination, and daring.
Fuck these retrogrades. Fuck them. Fuck their input or opinions.

I watched #OPPENHEIMER for the first time last night. One of the most important stories ever. Stellar casting. Brilliant performances, perfect atmosphere, excellent directing, not a line of dialogue wasted. I have no notes.

When they portrayed the success of "Trinity," I started crying. They knew not what they truly did, but they were soon to find out.

I wish we didn't today have such immediate cause to call to mind the Cold War and its Iron Curtain.

#Pioneering female #Chinese #American physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, who worked with Robert #Oppenheimer on the #ManhattanProject, was also the first to confirm #QuantumEntanglement – just 14 years after Albert #Einstein questioned the phenomenon. The largely forgotten achievement was included in a profile of Wu, one of the most influential experimental physicists of the 20th century, published in the December 2024 issue of Physics Today.

Wu is also believed to have been the only Chinese scientist involved in the Manhattan Project, the World War II initiative to develop an #AtomicBomb led by Oppenheimer, who affectionately referred to her as Jiejie, which means elder sister, the article said.

Wu’s experiment – detailed in a paper published in 1950 – was conducted before the #scientific community had fully grasped the significance of quantum entanglement, the article noted.

Seeing all the cat posts on #Caturday. And I really don't have many cat photos, but searching for images tagged "cat" I found this one, from the Halloween pumpkin glow a couple of years ago.

It's important to make sure you say lots of profound things when you do anything in the lab. It'll really help your chances of getting your own biopic movie #Oppenheimer

" U.S. President Harry Truman called it “the greatest scientific gamble in history,” saying the rain of ruin from the air would usher in a new concept of force and power. What he didn’t mention was that the federal government had already tested this new force on U.S. soil."

"We still have not been able to pass this legislation, which is bipartisan, which is the right thing to do, which is what America stands for and which is what New Mexico stands for, because of one person, and that is Speaker Mike Johnson."

"Pinyon Plain uranium mine, inside the boundary of Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni National Monument, is threatening the #aquifer where #Havasuapai get their life-sustaining water. Now, without notifying #NativeAmerican Nations, two #EnergyFuels #radioactive uranium trucks drove across the #NavajoNation, past #Hopi villages, to the uranium mill site on ancestral #WhiteMesa #Ute land in #Utah." -- Censored News
