Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) is most famous for being among those who are credited with being the “father of the atomic bomb”. His work led to the first atomic bomb being successfully detonated in July 16, 1945, in the Trinity test in New Mexico. The physicist later remarked that it brought to mind words from the Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita: “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” In August of that year, the weapons were used in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Oppenheimer would go on to lobby for international control of nuclear power. .
