      I just find it sad and pathetic. The internet is full of morons and children that can't comprehend. I get it's a joke and a meme, but clearly there are people who think it was as simple as making a bomb and then having a surprised Pikachu face.
      If somebody sets off a large firework, do they stare at it and think. "Oh I set off a large firework and it made a big bang, Guess there is nothing remarkable about that and therefore it provokes no reaction"
      No, because if you are a normal human then it most certainly startles, shocks, and scares the shit out of you. Simply knowing it's going to be a large explosion isn't comparable to actually experiencing the full sight and sound of it when it goes off. Fireworks have a level of unpredictability about them. Things can go wrong. You don't know exactly what is going to happen. And even if it does go as expected you're still going to experience some shock and awe.
      Now we have a man who had no choice but to make the most gigantic and most deadly weapon known to man, on an unprecedented scale, breaking new ground scientifically, and then witnessing the result of this major event, knowing that this monstrously large fireball will be used to obliterate a large number of living beings.

    The nuance of the situation wasn’t that he was unaware of what he was creating but the sheer scale of death of what it would unleash. He was prepared for a bomb, for some death, it was war time and viewed as a necessity but upon seeing the results of his creation, he realised what he had unleashed.

      People aren’t mocking him because they think he’s a moron who didn’t know that he was making a bomb, they’re mocking him because they think he’s fake, and just wants to play innocent after contributing to the most dangerous weapon in the world. Probably not wanting to look bad in the pages of history or something. To use another analogy, it’s like violently shooting someone from a fit of rage and then feeling bad about it, and saying it was the rage that blinded you, even though you made a conscious decision to pull the trigger on someone. Or another analogy considering someone already brought it up, it’s like a UA-camr who did "shitty things" with kids and then having the gull to cry about it in a UA-cam apology.
      I believe this feeling probably stems from us not really knowing what Oppenheimer was personally like, he’s just a guy we read in history, so there will always be a lot of disconnect. Is he a man who finally came to the realization of the true horrors he had unleashed onto the world, all from his pursuit of science? Or is he a flake trying to play innocent after knowing full well that he was designing a bomb to kill droves of people, even if most of his understanding of it was theoretical?

      People conveniently leave out that the Manhattan Project was started in response to the Nazi atom bomb project. We know with the hindsight of history that their project died in 1942, but no common person without intelligence access would know it. Beating the Nazis to the bomb was important, and by the time they surrendered, most people expected and certainly hoped for Japan to surrender before an invasion of the home islands. Again, Nazis surrender in May, Japan surrenders in August.

    I think the reason why Oppenheimer was so distraught over the bomb is because he got to see the scale of it. It’s easy for many to downplay something like the nuclear bomb but seeing it in action must of been awe inspiring and horrifying.

      Exactly. We've all been born in a world where a mushroom cloud is a recognisable shape. We live at a time after these bombs were used, and after decades of being capable of wiping ourselves out in nuclar mutual destruction. We live in a world where nuclear reactors are common, where space travel is possible, where nuclear fission is nothing compared to fusion. To us, an atomic bomb is a part of the world, a part of reality.
      But not for Oppenheimer. He was born in a world that only knew destruction at a specific magnitude. To behold the atomic bomb for the first time, and to be aware that you've been at the center of its creation. To know that this seemingly impossible destruction was always possible within the boudaries of reality, and only now it's been made manifest...
      Jesus Christ, I can't imagine how he ever managed to cope with it. You can tell when you see pictures of him as an old man. Most men get fatter as they age, even people with stressful yet sedentary jobs like doctors and presidents. But he was a skeleton of a man, and he was only 60 when he gave that famous interview. He died at 62.

When the Trinity bomb was actually tested people said he seemed triumphant, and he didn't mention the "destroyer of worlds" thing until the interview years later. Actually he mentioned a different verse entirely before that.
      Plus, he was a pretty neurotic person when he wasn't working. His conscience didn't start gnawing at him until the government decided to bomb Nagasaki, and in the years after when he was back to his usual miserable self.

    For anyone interested in learning more about Oppenheimer or the creation of atom bombs, I'd definitely recommend reading Bomb: The Race to Build - And Steal- The World's Most Dangerous Weapon by Steve Sheinkin. It goes into detail about Oppenheimer's past and how he was recruited for the Manhattan Project and covers a lot of the behind the scenes politics of the whole ordeal. It also tells the story of how one time Oppenheimer unintentionally ditched his date because he started thinking about physics too hard and ended up walking home and going to bed.

    I don't think it's fair to blame him entirely. The fact of the matter is atomic bombs would have inevitably been created, and to Oppenheimer the thought of the Germans creating one before them would have been utterly terrifying to him to the point that he may have actually seriously not realized the long term consequences of his research until the Trinity test actually worked in front of him. His strong opposition to the hydrogen bomb shows this. Obviously something changed.

    It's probably not the best place to discuss about it, but in all seriousness, you have to remember that project manhattan started in 1942, at a time when the nazis were also working on getting their atomic bomb as well. Most of the scientists involved in the project just wanted the USA to have the bomb before Germany. Fortunately, the german research were slowed down by multiple allies operations targeting the production of heavy water by the nazis, the lack of funds and their military failures. Unfortunately, when the german were defeated, the bomb was almost done and at that point there was no turning back. And even though some scientist of the project insisted that the bomb should be used as a demonstration, launched somewhere empty in front of the japanese to force them into surrendering, in the end, the army and the president had the last word and decided to use it.
    So really it was a more complicated than what most meme here depict it. I know these are jokes, and I do find them really funny, but I fear that some people will not have the historical background and will mistake the approximations made for the joke to work for the historic reality.

    It's also important to understand the terrifying context he was operating in, there had been early concerns that the bomb would be so hot as to ignite the whole atmosphere to the degree that they actually did calculations to see how powerful the bomb would have to be to do so.
    Then they get to the test and it is terrifyingly powerful, in fact it is MORE powerful than they thought it would be, multiple orders of magnitude in fact.
    Where they were expecting an explosion that would create a mushroom cloud about 13,000 feet high they instead got an explosion 5 times as powerful with a mushroom cloud reaching 70,000 feet tall.
    Just imagine the terror of that moment where you realise that the explosion is FAR more powerful than you had calculated it would be, I wouldn't be surprised if Oppenheimer also had a moment thinking 'oh god I've killed the world'.
    I have every sympathy for the man, he had the appropriate reaction to creating such a world shaking weapon.

    We give up because it's so ridiculously far that it's a nuisance to do. Years after we see people doing it on UA-cam and it blow our mind how far and tiny everything is.
    When we do the math. Thousands of meters weren't so far because it's too far our mind couldn't comprehend it.
    When we actually see how far it is we couldn't believe our eyes.
    So I can only imagine the dread and fear of Oppenheimer when he see the bomb in action. He knew the papers, but I doubt he can truly comprehend the sheer destruction powers it have in reality. Until he saw it himself.
