Manhattan Project mastermind J. Robert Oppenheimer, often credited as the father of the atomic bomb, spoke with CBS News in 1965.
"I think when you play a meaningful part in bringing about the death of over 100,00 people and the injury of a comparable number, you naturally don't think of that with ease," he said."I believe we had a great cause to do this, but I do not think that our consciences should be entirely easy at stepping out of the part of studying nature, learning the truth about it, to change the course of human history.
He began studying at Harvard University in the fall of 1922 and was accepted to study at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England, in 1925. Oppenheimer was awarded a doctorate in physics in May of 1927. In 1929 he started teaching at the University of California, in Berkeley. "had the talent, drive and leadership qualities that enabled production of the bomb on a very short timeline."
