Now I Am Become Death | J. Robert Oppenheimer & The Destroyer of Worlds

J. Robert Oppenheimer is the real-life modern Prometheus, leading the grandest and most advanced science experiment in recorded human history, The Manhattan Project.

The person in charge of an undertaking like this had to be a master of everything. It required deep understanding of just about every scientific discipline, from high-energy physics, to the chemistry of explosives, metallurgy, structural, electrical and aerospace engineering.

Oppenheimer was as fascinating a person as Albert Einstein and just as important and influential. Just like the Earth revolves around the sun, the world seems to revolve around characters.

He is also the subject of an upcoming movie by Christopher Nolan, called Oppenheimer.

Vanadium features video explorations of the many fascinations of materials scientist, Christopher Rankin PhD.
