J. Robert Oppenheimer, father of the atomic bomb, is the subject of Christopher Nolan’s latest movie “Oppenheimer” nearly 80 years after his life’s work made history and changed the world’s trajectory.
As the head of the Manhattan Project, Oppenheimer’s bombs killed between 110,000 and 210,000 people during World War II, obliterating the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. The bombs are commonly cited as the main factor in Japan’s surrender, which ended the war.
