"Einstein and Oppenheimer: Intersections"

Ideas, Brandeis University) 

Lecture Abstract:

After Einstein's death Oppenheimer was at times highly critical of
Einstein in public. Their contrasting views regarding creativity,
physics, philosophy, politics, nationalism, and their Jewishness will be
analyzed to understand Oppenheimer's stance.
