Oppenheimer: How Much Einstein Was Really Involved In Making The Atomic Bomb

The 2023 film Oppenheimer followed the man of the same name, the process of making the atomic bomb, and how it affected his life and later career, along with a subplot with famed theoretical physicist Albert Einstein. Einstein ended up playing a big role in Oppenheimer through his work with J. Robert Oppenheimer and Lewis Strauss, a member of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. Though Oppenheimer made some changes to the true story of the Manhattan Project and the scientist’s personal life, Albert Einstein was involved in the making of the atomic bomb, though the extent of it may have been misrepresented.
