The fact that I can sit in the garden and listen to the lecture by a historic figure, speaking to the mic 60 years ago, all immediate and completely free, is mind blowing to me.
No pun intended.

Also, his style of speech is truly poetic, also a mark of high intelligence.

He used to give these lectures unscripted (not sure about this particular one), spoken in full grammatical sentences. Just incredible.

this video will explode after the Nolan Movie (19.12.2022)

Ive never heard so many people cough over a short period of time. Oppenheimer definitely rubbed a few wrong. He fought for an open world. A true genius and hero of his time who was suppressed and battered.

I love the guy at about one minute and 39 seconds who yells, “louder!”

This lecture was delivered at the height of the Cold War but it’s implications are timeless. Science in its purest form is amoral. Great discoveries have an equal potential for good and harm. As we witness the dawning of the age of AI, one hopes that our culture and traditions are not lost entirely. We will surely need them more than ever to help us control the ever greater power of our science and technology.

One of the 5 most geniuses human beings of this planet. What a speach ? Not a single scientist from the past present or future had or will have his insight about life nature and science. It's a shame how the US government treated him in his later years. Great man indeed. There will never come another Oppenheimer, ever.

It’s crazy to think about the timing of Oppenheimer’s birth (and Einstein’s). The prime years of his life were spent developing the Atomic Bomb to be used in attempt to end (currently) the deadliest war in human history

There is a very likely chance that Christopher Nolan has also watched this youtube video.

The physicist - philosopher David Alberts at Columbia, reminds me of Oppenheimer in his talks. Oppenheimer was an exceptional speaker

36:33 I enjoy watching his speeches… In terms of world harmony through the collaboration of science he states, “If biologists or astronomers or physicist can work together so effectively across national boundaries and countries with different cultures and different politics and different religions; even countries with great hostility. Is this not a way to bring the world together? It certainly is one of the few things we know how to do. We are doing a light of, it we should certainly do all of it we can to promote international collaboration of the most intimate and direct kind, but is a very fragile and limited way to bring the world together.” – …… A part of me wishes this could be the case, but I am lead to believe that such a reality requires men to have a common understanding to having in possession of such a great power. To wield it without obstruction from outside entities who would wish to do harm. Think in terms of nuclear technologies which offer many benefits but also possess capabilities that are 4, 000 times power of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. My belief is that the nature of man is set on the an in balance that has been greatly sped up by globalization. Through the intermingling of international affairs in the name of various causes both morale and not. The focus isn’t on morale ambition of nations, but rather that the scientific community should strive to create technologies and find secrets in physics and chemistry which would progress mankind towards a more sustainable future.

And the change is accelerating. AND the acceleration is accelerating.

Did anyone pick up on 1:37 someone shouts ‘louder’?

This demonstrates what his former students in his classes stated about him. His Science students would have to work in pairs to try to understand him and then get together to rewrite their notes because he was so difficult to listen to. This proves it. You actually need to have a summary of what he is talking about. He had a brilliant mind but he did not want to "meet anyone at their level" only his. This reminds me of why I hated my University of MN education.
