Description
Space and Time, Atom and Field, and War and the Nations
“Oppenheimer’s contributions to physics and interests beyond the field made him an ideal speaker for the series … The success of the Los Alamos project in wartime was largely due to his genius and to the inspiration and leadership he gave to his associates … He is, however, more than an atomic physicist. A great humanist who is deeply concerned about man and his survival, he is a versatile scholar of wide interests and deep culture.” (Edward Togo Salmon, Principal of McMaster’s University College, 1962)
