The Oppenheimer.. "father of the atomic bomb"
.
.
.
J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) was a brilliant physicist known as the "father of the atomic bomb." He led the Manhattan Project, which developed the first atomic bomb during WWII. After witnessing its power, he quoted the Bhagavad Gita. He advocated for nuclear control post-war but faced accusations of communism during McCarthyism, leading to his security clearance revocation. Despite hardships, he continued contributing to theoretical physics. Oppenheimer's legacy is complicated, shaped by his significant scientific contributions and ethical dilemmas. He passed away in 1967, leaving a lasting impact on history as a key figure in the dawn of the atomic age.

If you want to know what he really thought, you have to read and listen to his words. Here's a 1965 interview he did with CBS just two years before his passing at just 62 years old:
