- rz2k 13y agoI've seen interviews where Feynman talks about how everyone else was intimidated by Oppenheimer, while he was too excited about the physics and ideas to realize he should be intimidated. I also think the PBS documentary "The Trials of J. Robert Oppenheimer"[1] was really excellent. However, I can just easily imagine not having come across either of these before.[2] [1] http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/oppenheimer/ http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/oppenheimer...
