RF1: Year 1 - Fall 26

To my knowledge, RF1 is the only game where people stop working when it rains.

I was raised on a farm, so rainy "rest" days make sense because that was the best weather to do so when your work was mainly outside.

But Leo? Wouldn't it be better to work in the rain?

And Neumann, I understand that maybe you don't get as many customers in the rain, but Felicity showed up to work, so you should too! Camus is going to scoop up all your clients!

Why Robert Oppenheimer's Atomic Bomb Still Haunts Us

— By Richard Rhodes | Published May 15, 2013

Oppenheimer spearheaded the creation of the atom bomb. René Burri/Magnum

Robert Oppenheimer oversaw the design and construction of the first atomic bombs. The American theoretical physicist wasn't the only one involved—more than 130,000 people contributed their skills to the World War II Manhattan Project, from construction workers to explosives experts to Soviet spies—but his name survives uniquely in popular memory as the names of the other participants fade. British philosopher Ray Monk's lengthy new biography of the man is only the most recent of several to appear, and Oppenheimer wins significant assessment in every history of the Manhattan Project, including my own. Why this one man should have come to stand for the whole huge business, then, is the essential question any biographer must answer.

It's not as if the bomb program were bereft of men of distinction. Gen. Leslie Groves built the Pentagon and thousands of other U.S. military installations before leading the entire Manhattan Project to success in record time. Hans Bethe discovered the sequence of thermonuclear reactions that fire the stars. Leo Szilard and Enrico Fermi invented the nuclear reactor. John von Neumann conceived the stored-program digital computer. Edward Teller and Stanislaw Ulam co-invented the hydrogen bomb. Luis Alvarez devised a whole new technology for detonating explosives to make the Fat Man bomb work, and later, with his son, Walter, proved that an Earth-impacting asteroid killed off the dinosaurs. The list goes on. What was so special about Oppenheimer?

He was brilliant, rich, handsome, charismatic. Women adored him. As a young professor at Berkeley and Caltech in the 1930s, he broke the European monopoly on theoretical physics, contributing significantly to making America a physics powerhouse that continues to win a freight of Nobel Prizes. Despite never having directed any organization before, he led the Los Alamos bomb laboratory with such skill that even his worst enemy, Edward Teller, told me once that Oppenheimer was the best lab director he'd ever known. After the war he led the group of scientists who guided American nuclear policy, the General Advisory Committee to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). He finished out his life as director of the prestigious Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, where he welcomed young scientists and scholars into that traditionally aloof club.

Those were exceptional achievements, but they don't by themselves explain his unique place in nuclear history. For that, add in the dark side. His brilliance came with a casual cruelty, born certainly of insecurity, which lashed out with invective against anyone who said anything he considered stupid; even the brilliant Bethe wasn't exempt. His relationships with the significant women in his life were destructive: his first deep love, Jean Tatlock, the daughter of a Berkeley professor, was a suicide; his wife, Kitty, a lifelong alcoholic. His daughter committed suicide; his son continues to live an isolated life.

His Choices or Mistakes, Combined with his Penchant for Humiliating Lesser Men, Eventually Destroyed Him.

Oppenheimer's achievements as a theoretical physicist never reached the level his brilliance seemed to promise; the reason, his student and later Nobel laureate Julian Schwinger judged, was that he "very much insisted on displaying that he was on top of everything"—a polite way of saying Oppenheimer was glib. The physicist Isidor Rabi, a Nobel laureate colleague whom Oppenheimer deeply respected, thought he attributed too much mystery to the workings of nature. Monk notes his curiously uncritical respect for the received wisdom of his field.

Monk's discussion of Oppenheimer's work in physics is one of his book's great contributions to the saga, an area of the man's life that previous biographies have neglected. In the late 1920s Oppenheimer first worked out the physics of what came to be called black holes, those collapsing giant stars that pull even light in behind them as they shrink to solar-system or even planetary size. Some have speculated Oppenheimer might have won a Nobel for that work had he lived to see the first black hole identified in 1971.

Oppenheimer's patriotism should have been evident to even the most obtuse government critic. He gave up his beloved physics, after all, not to mention any vestige of personal privacy, to help make his country invulnerable with atomic bombs. Yet he risked his work and reputation by dabbling in left-wing and communist politics before the war and lying to security officers during the war about a solicitation to espionage he received. His choices or mistakes, combined with his penchant for humiliating lesser men, eventually destroyed him.

One of those lesser men, a vicious piece of work named Lewis Strauss, a former shoe salesman turned Wall Street financier and physicist manqué, was the vehicle of Oppenheimer's destruction. When President Eisenhower appointed Strauss to the chairmanship of the AEC in the summer of 1953, Strauss pieced together a case against Oppenheimer. He was still splenetic from an extended Oppenheimer drubbing delivered during a congressional hearing all the way back in 1948, and he believed the physicist was a Soviet spy.

Strauss proceeded to revoke Oppenheimer's security clearance, effectively shutting him out of government. Oppenheimer could have accepted his fate and returned to an academic life filled with honors; he was due to be dropped as an AEC consultant anyway. He chose instead to fight the charges. Strauss found a brutal prosecuting attorney to question the scientist, bugged his communications with his attorney, and stalled giving the attorney the clearances he needed to vet the charges. The transcript of the hearing In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer is one of the great, dark documents of the early atomic age, almost Shakespearean in its craven parade of hostile witnesses through the government star chamber, with the victim himself, catatonic with shame, sunken on a couch incessantly smoking the cigarettes that would kill him with throat cancer at 63 in 1967.

Rabi was one of the few witnesses who stood up for his friend, finally challenging the hearing board in exasperation, "We have an A-bomb and a whole series of it [because of Oppenheimer's work], and what more do you want, mermaids?" What Strauss and others, particularly Edward Teller, wanted was Oppenheimer's head on a platter, and they got it. The public humiliation, which he called "my train wreck," destroyed him. Those who knew him best have told me sadly that he was never the same again.

For Monk as for Rabi, Oppenheimer's central problem was his hollow core, his false sense of self, which Rabi with characteristic wit framed as an inability to decide whether he wanted to be president of the Knights of Columbus or B'nai B'rith. The German Jews who were Oppenheimer's 19th-century forebears had worked hard at assimilation—that is, at denying their religious heritage. Oppenheimer's parents submerged that heritage further in New York's ethical-culture movement that salvaged the humanism of Judaism while scrapping the supernatural overburden. Oppenheimer, actor that he was, could fit himself to almost any role, but turned either abject or imperious when threatened. He was a great lab director at Los Alamos because of his intelligence—"He was much smarter than the rest of us," Bethe told me—because of his broad knowledge and culture; because of his psychological insight into the complicated personalities of the gifted men assembled there to work on the bomb; most of all because he decided to play that role, as a patriotic citizen, and played it superbly.

Monk is a levelheaded and congenial guide to Oppenheimer's life, his biography certainly the best that has yet come along. But he devotes far too many pages to Oppenheimer's Depression-era flirtation with communism, a dead letter long ago and one that speaks more of a rich esthete's awakening to the suffering in the world than to Oppenheimer's political convictions. He doesn't always get the science right. Most of the errors are trivial, but a few are important to the story.

Their Fundamental Objection Was to Giving up Production of Real Weapons so That Teller Could Pursue His Pipe Dream, a Dead-end Hydrogen Bomb Design.

A fundamental reason Oppenheimer opposed a crash program to develop the hydrogen bomb in response to the first Soviet atomic-bomb test in 1949 was the requirement of Edward Teller's "Super" design for large amounts of a rare isotope of hydrogen, tritium. Tritium is bred by irradiating lithium in a nuclear reactor, but the slugs of lithium take up space that would otherwise be devoted to breeding plutonium. To make tritium for a hydrogen bomb that the U.S. did not know how to build would have required sacrificing most of the U.S. production of plutonium for devastating atomic bombs the U.S. did know how to build. To Oppenheimer and the other scientists on the GAC, such an irresponsible substitution as an answer to the Soviet bomb made no strategic sense. It's true that the hydrogen bomb with its potentially unlimited scale of destruction made no military sense to them either—and was morally repugnant to some of them as well. But their fundamental objection, which Monk overlooks, was to giving up production of real weapons so that Teller could pursue his pipe dream, a dead-end hydrogen bomb design that never worked.

Julius Robert Oppenheimer (April 22, 1904 – February 18, 1967)

More egregious is Monk's notion that the Danish physicist Niels Bohr, Oppenheimer's mentor during the war on the international implications of the new technology, pushed for the bomb's use on Japan to make its terror manifest. He did not. He pushed, to the contrary, for the Allies, the Soviet Union included, to discuss the implications of the bomb prior to its use and to devise a framework for controlling it. Bohr foresaw that the bomb would stalemate major war, as it has, but correctly feared that U.S. secrecy about its development would lead to a U.S.-Soviet arms race. He conferred with both Roosevelt and Churchill about presenting the fact of the bomb to the Russians as a common danger to the world, like a new epidemic disease, that needed to be quarantined by common agreement. Churchill vehemently disagreed, and Roosevelt was old and ill. The moment passed. The arms race followed, as Bohr foresaw, and with diminished force, among pariah states like Iran and North Korea, continues to this day.

Monk's Oppenheimer is a less appealing figure than the Oppenheimer of previous biographies, perhaps because, as an Englishman, Monk is less susceptible to Oppenheimer's rhetorical gifts and more candid about calling out his evasions. He pulls together most of what several generations of Oppenheimer scholars have found and offers new revelations as well. Yet there's a faint whiff of condescension in his portrait, and the real Oppenheimer, the man whom so many loved and admired, still somehow escapes him. He misses the deep alignment of Robert Oppenheimer's life with Greek tragedy, the charismatic hubris that was his glory but also the flaw that brought him low. But maybe I'm expecting too much: maybe only a large work of fiction could assemble that critical mass.

Oh, idk, maybe when Moritz could most likely not hear Amy crying out for him cause of the plane's engine. She loves him so much and would do anything for him.

Or that when the plane started moving, he was still looking around, probably thinking that his friends hadn't found him in time and he'd never see them again, even though they were right there, unable to stop the plane.

Shattered Hero ~ Origins of the Ink Demon : Episode Maka Finale (3/11)

[Halberd Interior]

*Sonic Sfx : Chaos Control*

Maka : Alright, sister. We finally made it back, but where we are? Huh? This is...Meta Knight's ship.

Moirai : We don't know how we got here.

Grim (Metal Sonic) : At last. I'm finally back where I was, inside this metallic body of mine. So it seems, Sonic manages to save the princess from Eggman's clutches again, but eventually, Star Fox team went on the case to rescue Sonic and Elise from the Falling Egg Carrier that might be the cause of Mephiles' manipulation, or perhaps the Solaris Incident is effecting 2006 even more than it was.

Moirai : When it comes to Apparoids, they make me sick.

??? : So, you must be Maka Albarn, A so-called hero of Soul World that existed within the Real World, how noble that you managed to stay alive by being the most overdeveloped person on the planet.

[Endrum Collective - Hideaki Kobayashi]

Grim (Metal Sonic) : Who are you? Are you Leo Grahart from PSO?

Magashi : Allow me to introduce you to myself. I am Renvolt Magashi of the Endrum Collective.

"RENVOLT MAGASHI : LEADER OF THE ENDRUM COLLECTIVE."

Magashi : I am not from the place that you call it PSO. We are from the Gurhal System, a place inhabited by humans and their creations...Casts--Newman--Beasts. And least not forget, 500 years ago, Gurhal had a war among the four races in a never ending conflict. So after peace lasted about 100 years, darkness has begun to awakened and shattered Gurhal's peace.

Maka : Hey, wait a sec. Gurahl...Four races...500 year-old war. You're from PSU!

Magashi : (chuckles) Correct. PSU, the successor to PSO. And I believe it's stands for...

Maka : "Pennsylvania State Universe?"

Moirai : Portalnd State Univerity or PSU stands for...

Grim (Metal Sonic) : No...PSU stands for "Power Supply Unit", but it also stands for "Phantasy Star Universe."

Magashi : You catch on quickly. PSU does stands for Phantasy Star Universe.

Grim (Metal Sonic) : Another Sega Representative from another Sonic Team title. PSU was released before the worst game made for sonic was ever released into the atmosphere.

Magashi : So let me guess this. 2006 might been an awful year for the blue blur himself. Ever since the last server for PSO was shutdown by the officials, the original PSO remained in it's private servers after the last episode of PSO, NPCs or the group called the Good guys have been retired their selves as heroes and peace to Ragol has been restored. And now, when 2006 came, I Renvolt Magashi finally made my appearance as the newest villain to the Phantasy Star title. A new Dark Falz that has awakened himself to bring out threats to Real World Au and devastation to the planets. We call these organic things that we call it SEED, spread by PSU's own Dark Falz himself, Codename : Dulk Fakis. A creature that will swallow Gurhal and it's galaxy whole by the darkness itself.

Grim (Metal Sonic) : A star system and a galaxy swallowed by the darkness? I know who that might be. Two people that are villainous psychopaths of Gurhal, Karl F. Howzer and Helga Noimann. (Gary meows) Whoops. I mean " Helga Neumann". Two villainous psychopaths that are humans of Gurhal who wanted to swallow Gurhal and it's planets whole to the Darkness so that they can get away with murder. without, Gurhal, or without the three planets, Phantasy Star Universe will never be the same, before Portable.

Maka : That's crazy! Two human beings that are genocidal sociopaths that wanted to bring an attempt of genocide or omnicide on the planets! That's murder!

Magashi : (laughs evilly) What did you expect, girl? Although that the truth lies within you has seems to be struggling with you. There is no Madness in the Ohkuboverse neither a being you call it a Kishin. Although the Lying of Shinra Kusakabe hurts even more often to you than the truth itself . The purpose of defeating a god has nothing to do with courage, the one gift that you brought from other heroes like Kirby or Shinra Kusakabe. I let you and Nights to use that kind of courage so that the true powers of Darkness should never suspect Demon Vibe's real intentions on taking over this pathetic galaxy, or destroying the rest of the planets that turns this galaxy into a gigantic piles of space dust!

*DBZ SFX : Energy Warbling*

*GLITCHING*

Maka Albarn : (yells in pain) GAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! MY HEAD! IT HURTS! What the hell have I been fighting for!?! This is all Kirby's fault or Shinra's! I am so confused! I'm so frustrated!

Grim (Metal Sonic) : Dishonor! She let her guard with confusion!

Magashi : Bwahahaha! That's the Maka I know wanted to hear from a cowardly girl like you and now I will make you disappear so you'll never protect the devil's legacy and spreading the lying to thy self! DIE NOW, SPAWN OF DEVIL!

(CLANG!)

??? : You won't be easily that much to pick someone your own size!

[Save this World - Kelli Sae, Hideaki Kobayashi]

Moirai : Huh? Who is that?

??? : Magashi! I won't let you cower her with fear and confusion, this time I'll stop you for good!

Magashi : Why I don't believe it! It's...(the person unhoods to reveal himself as Ethan Waber) Ethan Waber!

Ethan : That's right. I'm the guy that is kicking your ass! Now stand back and I may stop you! Haaaaa!

Magashi : You're still the same Ethan that I expected! (the two starts clashing) Is that the best you can do!?

Ethan Waber : It's much worth saving the galaxy more than saving the world. You're in a for a hero's welcome! Ha!

Magashi : Clever Ethan! You profound yourself on saving the galaxy, more than saving the world. But it will be the last to the planet covered in darkness. Whether will it be Dark Nebula or Dulk Fakis that is going to rule the entire galaxy!

Karen : You okay there, young ma'am?

Maka : Who are you?

Karen Erra : I'm Karen Erra and I'm with Ethan Waber, the man who is my trainee! And that is the reason that I'm putting a stop to Magashi's recklessness.

Maka : I thought Ethan was just a kid who works alone.

Karen Erra : Not just him. Us as well.

Hyuga : Same goes to me.

Maya : I'm with Ethan's side.

Lou : Just keep your feet on the ground

Leo : Don't get too carried away!

Tonnio : Or we'll make you stay away!

Alfort Tylor : Heh! He never cease to Amaze me.

Magashi : Just as I expected, the Guardians! But I'm tired fighting a bunch of heroes like you all the time. Don't expect Howzer and Helga ever to come destroying the likes of you all, and especially you, Ethan.

Ethan : You'd wish.

Magashi : Heh. It doesn't matter. I'm going to postpone our fight to the SEED Hive, you'll just be part of the demise when Dulk Falkis or Dark Nebula covers the planet in darkness! Farewell, Ethan Waber! (throws Smoke bomb) *BOOM!*

(everyone coughs out)

Ethan : Magashi! Darn it! He must've went off to the SEED Hive! We can't let that happen!

Maka Albarn : So you guys are PSU?

Ethan : Of course, we are PSU after all. I'm Ethan Waber, and these guys are the GUARDIANS. You must be the Grim Reaper of Mobius.

Grim (Metal Sonic) : Yes, I am Death God of Mobius, Grim. And I owe you and your comrades my gratitude for saving this girl's life.

Ethan : It's all in a days work. So much for the good guys that usually worked for PSO.

Grim (Metal Sonic) : This is Maka Albarn, a descendant to the Phantonian Race. Nobody would imagine that a girl with a deadly force within her heart and soul would bring all that destruction casued by her anger and sadness that combines frustration to trigger the shattered resonance.

Maya : Wow. A girl who wiped out 80% of Japan's population? What an interesting fact that a child like her would be the cause for the death and destruction of all humanity on Real World earth. Is there a reason why she was confused and frustrated over the reason for not being a hero to Soul World?

Grim (Metal Sonic) : About three years ago, when my units of the Hang Castle Security Force found out that a 70-year old demon queen was escaped from imprisonment, Maka was the only a child that nobody ever wanted and was the outcast by many in Japan, but a boy named Makoto was the only one who ever wanted her.

Hyuga : And so does the main crew of Soul World, what she friends with the main crew of Soul World?

Grim (Metal Sonic) : The only member of the Soul Eater crew was Soul Evans whom she first met in San Francisco, but he recently broken up with her when I ordered my men to capture and secure her in order to be hidden from the public eye. I guess she could say that her heart belongs to somewhere besides others, it could Makoto's or Soul's.

Moirai : [referring to her previous boyfriend] Humph, men! Always be the jerk of our kind! They should known about Gender Equalities by now. Now everyone knows that my sister is in a love triangle!

Grim (Metal Sonic) : We were on our way to stop Dark Nebula from ever covering the galaxy in everlasting darkness by reclaiming his title as Ruler of the Underworld. Where you people exactly headed to?

Ethan Waber : We're on way to save Gurhal and Real World AU from this that orginally came from. (shows a photo of the SEED Hive)

Moirai : Woah! What is that place? Could that be...

Grim (Metal Sonic) : The SEED Hive. That's where Renvolt Magashi was heading to.

Who’s ready for some early Roger Corman-directed, drive-in monster movie madness? Oh, yes! Does it get any more “signature 1950s creature feature” than The Wasp Woman? Short run time, straightforward direction, thin but interesting plot, and crappy-yet-delightfully-campy monster make-up: it all adds up to a good time. This is especially true if you’re a monster kid through and through. Check out the Grue-Crew review and keep your ‘royal jelly’ safely hidden away.
