Sinossi
Robert Oppenheimer è stata una delle figure più enigmatiche e carismatiche della fisica contemporanea. Ancora ventenne contribuì in maniera fondamentale allo sviluppo della teoria quantistica, ma divenne famoso in tutto il mondo come direttore del gruppo di ricercatori di Los Alamos che, in venti mesi di febbrile sperimentazione, mise a punto la bomba atomica. Abraham Pais, a sua volta grande fisico, che conobbe personalmente Oppenheimer e condivise con lui lunghi anni di insegnamento a Princeton, ripercorre, in questa biografia, tutte le tappe di un percorso scientifico fondamentali per il ventesimo secolo.

Brilliantly written piece of work by Pais. It doesnt concentrate too much on the Los Alamos time and instead sheds more light on the security hearing and his directorship at the IAS. The nicest characteristic of this book is the amounts of quotes and opinions of other notable physicists like Bohr, Ra Leggi tutto
