Albert Einstein and J. Robert Oppenheimer, two iconic scientists of the twentieth century, belonged to different generations, with the boundary marked by the advent of quantum mechanics. By exploring how these men differed—in their worldview, in their work, and in their day—this book provides powerful insights into the lives of two critical figures and into the scientific culture of their times. In Einstein’s and Oppenheimer’s philosophical and ethical positions, their views of nuclear weapons, their ethnic and cultural commitments, their opinions on the unification of physics, even the role of Buddhist detachment in their thinking, the book traces the broader issues that have shaped science and the world.

Einstein is invariably seen as a lone and singular genius, while Oppenheimer is generally viewed in a particular scientific, political, and historical context. Silvan Schweber considers the circumstances behind this perception, in Einstein’s coherent and consistent self-image, and its relation to his singular vision of the world, and in Oppenheimer’s contrasting lack of certainty and related non-belief in a unitary, ultimate theory. Of greater importance, perhaps, is the role that timing and chance seem to have played in the two scientists’ contrasting characters and accomplishments—with Einstein’s having the advantage of maturing at a propitious time for theoretical physics, when the Newtonian framework was showing weaknesses.

Bringing to light little-examined aspects of these lives, Schweber expands our understanding of two great figures of twentieth-century physics—but also our sense of what such greatness means, in personal, scientific, and cultural terms.

Well,every race has a dirt bag in their backyard

I believe the one in yours is called "Osama Bin Ladin"
bigbluesea, good comeback, you stole my thunder. BTW, your dls are good.

We weren't the only ones working on nukes at the time, it's just that our two "evil dirtbags" beat everyone else to the finish line. I also happen to think that our side is right especially with the way we've handled such a responsibility since the atomic age began. It seems to me that world peace AND safety are more under threat from terrorists and dictatorships (commies included). Leave it to them to show how nukes can be misused. As for the Great Satan, I think we did pretty good on our watch.
@jimbuck2

Thank you

I agree with your comment,well said :)
@zakimar

You hate Jews with a passion that rivals Hitlers.That makes you a full blown racist.I've seen dozens of your comments,they are all directed against Jews

By the many comments you have made,it's obvious you are from the Middle East or have ties to that region.

I'm not a racist.I simply pointed out that there was once an evil dirt bag in your back yard before he was killed and that every back yard around the world has one.

Was he a terrorist?I don't think he needed to be brought to trial to establish that he was involved in the murders of Thousands.

Is Bush a scum bag? absolutely,no doubt about it he has proven to the world that he is.

Is Obama a scumbag?Don't know,let see what happens.It's still early but,in my opinion he hasn't done a fucking thing so far to better America or the world.As far as I'm concerned he's just a puppet
zakimar,

You didn't have to mention they are Jews.

When i uploaded this book i knew for a fact you would comment on it.Simply because they are Jews.I don't care who you hate.

No one a associated you with OBL and no one is disagreeing that this two are evil for what they created
when the antisemites say "we don't hate Jews, we just hate the Zionists" then it's a go around for them, a cover up, to not appear hateful just political.
zakimar,

Your going to give yourself a heart attack over something you can't change.

And you only like Rachael Corrie because she was helping the Palestinians,if she wasn't she would be another Zionist to you.

I think you hate every body.You have been banned many times for offensive comments.Every body has seen your comments they are racial and offensive to many people here on TPB

I think you need to be educated,you either can't read or your retarded.You take everything you read and twisted it around to make it look like your the victim

Btw,I don't anyone and if i did i certainly wouldn't go around posting every where
Who thought a rather trivial book about those would rise a debate.

Others would definitely have discovered the same later if they did'nt. They were the first.

But the the timing was good. A time when the calamaties of wars was present and the wish for peace was greatest.
Zappaz joins the debate Lol!!!
Yaa - And Vervet monkeys have BBB.
That's better than having "Atomic Weapons" Zappaz
zakimar,

There is a way to voice your opinion without offending or pissing people off.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion regardless if it's good or bad.I won't put down any race but,i will put down leaders including the ones that run my Country and other countries.

I'm not a Zionist,I don't agree with what Israel is doing to The Palestinians.A lot of people don't agree.I,like many Americans don't like that our Government gives Israel billions of dollars a year but,what are we to do?Not all Jews are responsible for what is happening in Israel but,if you don't word your feelings correctly you will be labeled a racist and what ever else

There are a lot of countries where people are being systematically killed by their government not just in Israel.It's been happening for centuries and will continue to happen.Man is a fucked up specie.

Everybody has their own feelings about one thing or another including myself.How you express your opinions will dictate how people will react to them.
Verry nice said bigbluesea, very nice.

at first I thought zakimar was right, but this doesnt mean you are false... You both are false and wrong...

But I really liked your last comment...(that's why I wrote is comment...)
I mean * wrong and right (sry, my english isnt the best...)
