39:26Now PlayingWhat do two physicists think about the movie Oppenheimer? Neil deGrasse Tyson sits down with theoretical physicist Brian Greene to discuss the science in Christopher Nolan’s film Oppenheimer, based on Robert J. Oppenheimer’s work on the Manhattan Project. How did the movie do in capturing such a major moment in quantum physics?
They break down parts of the film: did Nolan get anything wrong? We explore the concerns that the atomic bomb would ignite the atmosphere and the mechanism that would make that possible. Would Brian have said yes to working on the Manhattan Project if he had been alive at the time? Was achieving nuclear fission good for science? Plus, get Neil and Brian's Favorite moments from the film and their main takeaways from the era.
