I just watched the trailer for the new movie about Oppenheimer. At the end they use the phrase “the man who moved the world.” Is Robert Oppenheimer solely responsible for the creation of the atomic bomb? I know he had a team of scientists with him. How important was he to the project? Could the bomb been created by another scientist of the time?
/u/restricteddata has previously answered the very similar How important was Robert Oppenheimer to the US’s ability to create the atomic bomb in time for war?
