Oppenheimer also had a pool regarding whether the atmospheric test would be sufficient to cause a massive nuclear chain reaction in the Earth's atmosphere, thus destroying everything. It was just some egghead humor.

I did Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Monitoring in the USAF.

Good flick. (Narrated by William Shatner!)

Hi.

Didn’t Mr. Oppenheimer also say, paraphrasing, “ I’ve become the destroyer of worlds?”

Or was it Mr. Teller?
