Though Albert Einstein and Oppenheimer both lived and worked at Princeton, they were not particularly close friends.
Einstein’s status as a popular icon is likely also why Nolan uses an imagined conversation between Einstein and Oppenheimer as a recurring device in the film, one that eventually reveals’s crushing thesis statement. We see their exchange from a few different perspectives throughout the movie, including that ofStrauss, who’s trying to woo Oppenheimer to run the Institute, spots Einstein outside the Princeton building where they’re meeting and offers to introduce Oppenheimer to him.
In reality, Oppenheimer and Einstein don’t even mention Strauss, though we learn what the two talked about only in’s final moments. Their conversation is a meditation on the consequences of achievement—how governments can use and discard scientists with impunity, then welcome them back into the fold after the metaphorical dust has settled if they so choose. When a future administration decides to give Oppenheimer a medal, Einstein tells him, “just remember, it won’t be for you.
It’s also a callback to that fictionalized pre–Manhattan Project meeting. Oppenheimer asks Einstein if he recalls when they worried a chain reaction from the bomb might destroy the world; Einstein remembers. “I believe we did,” Oppenheimer replies. Though the exchange came from Nolan’s imagination, it really ends the movie with a bang.
