Based on the novel American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan's historical epic took the world by storm. With Oppenheimer leading this year's Academy Awards , we thought now would be the perfect time for a history lesson on the real J. Robert Oppenheimer. The man Cilliam Murphy portrayed is a fascinating and complex person whose scientific genius helped usher in our modern atomic era.
Even before the US formally entered World War II, Berkeley’s Radiation Lab was heavily focused on developing an atomic bomb, with Oppenheimer doing much of the work on neutron calculations. Then, in 1942, shortly after the US formally entered World War II, General Leslie Groves appointed Oppenheimer to work on the top secret government project to develop the atomic bomb, code-named The Manhattan Project.
What Was the Manhattan Project? The Manhattan Project was the code name given to the United State’s secret project to build an atomic bomb. It was known as early as 1939, thanks in part to a letter from Albert Einstein to President FDR, that Nazi scientists were making progress on splitting the atom and harnessing that power. In 1941 The Manhattan Project was officially created.
