I have yet to see the movie (though I 100% will), but that was fantastic writing.

Aww thank you. I don’t spoil anything that reading the Wikipedia article about Oppenheimer won’t (and you probably should before seeing it because there are so many characters is can be very confusing, and knowing a bit more about the major players is helpful.)

I've read a few in-depth books on the subject (The Making of the Atomic Bomb and Atomic Accidents) so I wasn't worried about spoiler alerts. 😁 I'm interested in seeing it to put visuals on what I've read!

I’m in the middle of Making of the Atomic Bomb and it’s so great. Can’t recommend it enough. I also love particle physics but with my degree never went beyond calculus so my understanding is curtailed. There’s a lot of physics in physical chemistry though.

I have a minor in Mathematics, but I haven't used most of that since the Clinton administration.

My parents were both math majors who met in physics class. My sister (a music major) and me (biology) came out of nowhere really, biology is very much more art than science in many ways.
