J. Robert Oppenheimer - Tumblr Posts

#25 - J. Robert Oppenheimer - Black Mage Physicist, political activist, and father of the atomic bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer has become a kind of modern Faust figure. Though he participated in the construction of the most destructive weapon ever used in war, Mr. Oppenheimer felt that the proliferation of nuclear weapons could be prevented by the United Nations; in fact, he believed that he could control where his invention went next, and who used it. As many inventors have found, there simply is no way to put the genie back in the bottle. Black Mages tend to be the go-to damage class in RPGs, using elemental affinities and raw strength of stats to nuke enemies from afar. In general, the Black Mage can be seen as an equivalent to the Sorceror or Wizard, but much more straightforward in its approach to dealing damage. Given the way Mr. Oppenheimer’s research was applied, and his own ecclectic and often unsubtle means of expressing himself, I felt a Black Mage would be appropriate for him.

So I mentioned to my sister that it's a running joke on tumblr that Oppie eats rocks...

Without missing a beat she said "that's because Teller fed them all the marbles they used to measure plutonium and uranium and they all got used to it". She then proceeded to explain how he stole and attempted to turn Feynman's bongos into something else (I can't remember) but ultimately failed.

Mind you she's not at all into the whole Manhattan project as I am, so I think, just think, that she might be a bit fed up w my obsession with this lot.

She's rewatching Oppenheimer and so far described Oppie as the following:

"He's a bit coocoo but he got the spirit"

"It's cool how he's friends with Einstein"

"I like his wife even tho she's an alcoholic. And a shit mom."

"I like smart ppl that's why I like him and not his emo friend Teller"

Just finished watching Oppenheimer, and I got these two amazing memes out of it

Das manche Oppenheimer relativ schlecht wegkommen lassen, kann ich ja irgendwie noch verstehen, auch wenn die Gründe teils sehr mysteriös sind. Aber diese teils grauenvollen Pun Lines mancher Überschriften sind mehr als anstrengend! Das Thema verdient wesentlich mehr Respekt.
