I watched #OPPENHEIMER for the first time last night. One of the most important stories ever. Stellar casting. Brilliant performances, perfect atmosphere, excellent directing, not a line of dialogue wasted. I have no notes.

When they portrayed the success of "Trinity," I started crying. They knew not what they truly did, but they were soon to find out.

I wish we didn't today have such immediate cause to call to mind the Cold War and its Iron Curtain.

#Pioneering female #Chinese #American physicist Chien-Shiung Wu, who worked with Robert #Oppenheimer on the #ManhattanProject, was also the first to confirm #QuantumEntanglement – just 14 years after Albert #Einstein questioned the phenomenon. The largely forgotten achievement was included in a profile of Wu, one of the most influential experimental physicists of the 20th century, published in the December 2024 issue of Physics Today.

Wu is also believed to have been the only Chinese scientist involved in the Manhattan Project, the World War II initiative to develop an #AtomicBomb led by Oppenheimer, who affectionately referred to her as Jiejie, which means elder sister, the article said.

Wu’s experiment – detailed in a paper published in 1950 – was conducted before the #scientific community had fully grasped the significance of quantum entanglement, the article noted.
