I haven't seen the #Oppenheimer movie, but I just finished the book, the Pulitzer Prize–winning #AmericanPrometheus by Kai Bird & Martin J. Sherwin. Compelling, brilliantly researched, vast in scope from quantum physics' golden era through WWII and the Cold War...just remarkable.

Isidor Rabi on his friendship with Robert Oppenheimer: “We felt a certain kinship,” Rabi said. It was that rare brand of friendship, forged in youth, that survives long separations. “You start off,” Rabi recalled, “just where you left off.”
