Rotblat

������ astonishes me, however, is the obscurity into which Oppenheimer’s colleague Joseph Rotblat has been cast.

Disgusted, Rotblat departed the project a few months later and would spend his life working toward atomic nonproliferation.

“Science became identified with death and destruction,” Rotblat said in his Nobel lecture as he described the inception of the atomic age.

The world recognized Rotblat’s impact, but I find few people, physicists or not, have heard his name.

Oppenheimer’s voice, early on, would have made an impact, Rotblat believed.
