Did J Robert Oppenheimer really know Albert Einstein?
is out in cinemas, we have more context of the pivotal conversation that takes place between Oppenheimer and Einstein. So let's delve into how accurate to real life it is.The conversation takes place at the Institute for Advanced Science where Oppenheimer became director in 1947 and Einstein had been since he fled Germany in 1933.
