Oppenheimer's recent trailer has revealed that Albert Einstein will appear in the film, and here's what Einstein's role in Nolan's movie could be.
Albert Einstein will appear in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, and here's how the famous scientist is connected to the real-life story, including his role in the development of the atomic bomb. Albert Einstein is arguably the world's most famous scientist, with his role in the history of theoretical physics earning him his prestigious legacy.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is the highly-anticipated historical biopic that will focus on the life and legacy of the American theoretical physicist, J. Robert Oppenheimer. J. Robert Oppenheimer is most famous for his heavy role in the development of the first atomic bomb, as well as his later advocacy against the use of nuclear weapons and regret for his involvement in the project.
Although the two described each other as friends and colleagues, Oppenheimer and Einstein had their disagreements. Einstein disagreed with Oppenheimer's positions on quantum mechanics, with the two undoubtedly having long debates about the topic throughout their lives. While giving a 1965 speech at the headquarters of UNESCO, Oppenheimer lovingly described Einstein as "childlike and profoundly stubborn," proving that the two scientists did have their conflicts and disagreements.
Einstein Wasn't Directly Involved In Creating Oppenheimer's Nuclear Weapon Although Albert Einstein is often associated with the creation of the atomic bomb, he actually wasn't directly involved in the development of J. Robert Oppenheimer's nuclear weapon. The Manhattan Project was notoriously an incredibly difficult project to get involved in, with Oppenheimer only being able to get his foot in the door due to one of his former lecturers working on the project.
Interestingly, Albert Einstein was one of the scientific community's most vocal advocates against the use of nuclear weaponry in warfare. Albert Einstein was famously a pacifist throughout his life, although he did sign a letter to President Roosevelt in 1939 encouraging the United States to begin researching nuclear weaponry.
