Oppenheimer Movie Review

<< < (24/46) > >>

peter-h:
Seen the movie.

It's not bad although for non-informed viewers it suffers from difficulties in that there is basically no plot; it is just a long strings of events. It is a good attempt at historical accuracy.

The music is too loud in just a few short bits.

Infraviolet:
"There are far more electronics engineers than physicists working on nuclear weapons."
And then one remembers that some of the most notable books on Electronics were actually written by Physicists.

Most of the really good RF engineers I have worked with had physics degrees, and were not eligible to join the relevant UK engineering institution (whose name has changed over time).

I doubt anybody posting on this thread has any idea of the electronics in a modern atom bomb :)

And I am sure they have come a long way from a load of krytrons :)

They must have felt absolutely terrible to be thus deprived of a real sense of belonging ;)

I know very few electronics engineers who went through the process of becoming a full member of the IEE (its old name). A lot of us joined as student members and that was it. I only found out about the physics people being excluded when I showed minor interest in becoming a full member, and couldn't muster four people who were full members to act as sponsors in a business with hundreds of electronics engineers.
