OPPENHEIMER Explained: What Happened to Lewis Strauss & Heisenberg?

OPPENHEIMER Explained: What Happened to Lewis Strauss & Heisenberg? In this video, we break down two of Oppenheimer's biggest rivals throughout the story of the Atomic Bomb, Werner Heisenberg and Lewis Strauss. We go through all of the real-life events and timelines of what happened to them before and after the events of the movie. Ranging from Heisenberg's history of failed attempts of creating his own bomb to his capture and rise to prominence in the years after. Played by Robert Downey Jr (Strauss) and Matthias Schweighöfer (Heisenberg), we take a deep dive into the history, lots to get through so let's get into it!

/* ---- VIDEO INFORMATION ---- */
Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show I'm your host Paul and this video we're gonna be breaking down Oppenheimer. In the movie we follow the father of the atomic bomb as he develops his world changing device. Throughout the story he's pitted against two people and this comes in the form of a German scientist and also a US Secretary.
In the movie we learn that both don't get their way and you might have some questions about what happens to them next. Throughout this video we're gonna be going through both Strauss and Heisenbergs legacy and what happened to them after the film.
Heavy Spoilers ahead so if you haven't seen the movie then I highly recommend that you turn off now. I know most of this is involving history but there's people who don't know the ins and outs and I think people should see the film first.
Anyway with that out the way thanks for checking out the video, now let's get into our breakdown of Oppenheimer.

As a german it was shocking to see Matthias Schweighöfer as Heisenberg. He is a german actor mostly appearing in german comedy movies

[@carola-lifeinparis]

I was excited to see him, did not know he would be. after all, he’s one of maybe 3 good German actors… While sure, he mostly does comedy, there’s also Der rote Baron

I was so proud and happy for him to be in such a movie but I cannot see him as a serious actor after everything he's done with Joko & Klaas 😂

Not really he played a coach on a drama movie. I took him seriously

[@axplade2899]

Matthias is a good actor tho. I remember him as Dieter in Army of the Dead.

[@cupcakeinlondon]

Well, not only in comedies. For instance he had a small role in "Valkyrie" (with Tom Cruise as Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg) as Lieutenant Franz Herber. Looks for international movies he is being cast for more serious roles.

[@igorbednarski8048]

The reason Heisenberg failed at building the bomb was simple - his budget was 8 million RM, equivalent to about 2 million USD. Yes, that's right - million. He had 1/1000th of the budget of the Manhattan project. It wasn't because the Nazis were out of resources, not really - the development of V2 rockets is estimated to have been MORE expensive than the Manhattan Project. They just did not prioritise it. Honestly given the almost nonexistent funding he had it's actually really impressive how much they achieved.

[@coachhannah2403]

Well, B29 was more expensive than Manhattan. US could do both, plus build the biggest navy & air force, and prosecute two WWIIs at the same time...

[@cashrjr23]

​@@coachhannah2403yes...and we still can

[@donaldshotts4429]

Hitler almost always seemed to prioritize the wrong things, but I think this movie covered the reason why in this instance. He considered it Jewish science

[@hailbane9633]

The Nazis were absolutely running out of raw resources and the reason the Allies won is because of simple war of attrition. The Nazi government had barely any gasoline, oil, steel and other raw materials by 1943. The allies won because they had excess to way more raw resources. Both USSR and United States had large untapped lands of raw resources and produced way more tanks, trucks, planes, etc... compared to the Germans. Also the USSR and United States had huge populations that outnumbered the axis massively.

[@fuckso2342]

But the Germans were running out of resources. The Nazis could only focus on one advanced weapon(V2 rockets) at a time. The US had clearly had more money in research and development. They could invest money in atomic bombs and rocket technology. The Germans were also running out of men by 1943. They had to conscript scientists to fight something the US never had to do.

[@MartyFox]

Some other interesting things that happened after the time frame of Oppenheimer: 1) Albert Einstein co-authored a manifesto with leading scientists and intellectuals, including Bertrand Russell, arguing that nuclear weapons posed a grave threat to humanity and pleading with world leaders to seek diplomatic solutions rather than further nuclear development. Oppenheimer did not sign it. 2) Oppenheimer’s daughter was also denied security clearance later in life due to her father’s previous denial, costing her a job as a UN translator. She relocated to the family’s beach house in the US Virgin Islands (where her parents were buried), became a recluse, and died by suicide at 32.

[@Jansenbaker]

Why didn't Oppenheimer sign it?

[@TFQ1]

​@@Jansenbakercuz there is a possibility of another side of Oppenheimer, As he displayed empathy and was sympathetic on the outside. Some evidence points he wanted to be the father of the atomic bomb and he was fully aware of what he was doing and yet he pushed on as hard as he could while he kept reasoning it's to end the great war etc.

[@shirleymcdonald2777]

Holly f thanks that's terrible but incredibly interesting

[@Eroil]

When was that manifesto signed? Perhaps Oppenheimer avoided signing it in fear it will make his security clearance even less likely?

[@pricklypear7516]

@@TFQ1 Oppenheimer's ambition, arrogance, and professional curiosity have been well documented, but in this case, I think there's a much simpler explanation for why he refused to sign Einstein's manifesto: The USSR was not far behind us in nuclear capabilities, and NOBODY under Joe Stalin would even consider signing such a document. It WAS an arm's race LONG before the bombs were dropped on Japan.

[@MrDremmetbrown]

I love how a movie just gives us history lessons

[@emilyhassel7914]

me too! i didnt know much about this before seeing the movie. I found out there were lots of details left out of the movie like how a lot of families were forced out of their homes to make way for the town and how a lot of children who lived near by died of lukemia (sorry I can't spell haha) anyway so harrowing but good to learn it.

[@vinista256]

Oppie: “Oh, shit-I succeeded 😵‍💫” Heisenberg: “Thank God-I failed 😅”

[@estern53]

Oppenheimer is a master Class on movie making. Nolan really nailed it. Some side notes about how Russia made their own nuclear bomb. Wernher von Braun who invented the v2 rocket was also captured along with Werner Heisenberg at the end of war and were put into service in the US. Wernher von Braun would later be instrumental in putting a man in space for the US, but there were other german scientists who were capture by the Russians and they helped develop Russia's first A Bomb. I loved how Edward Teller was portrayed, looking so greasy. He went on to pushing for the creation of Nuclear power plants and making bigger and bigger nuclear weapons. He went for the money and had no ethics.

[@SueFerreira75]

Teller was the model for Stanley Kubrick's "Dr Strangelove"

[@krishadyn5211]

Teller came across as on the spectrum. He seemed to be in hyperfocus. His dislike of the 'unpredictability' of Oppenheimer is also supportive of this theory. There's nothing unethical about pushing for nuclear power plants though.

[@topdog5252]

Heisenberg also produced the first paper on matrix mechanics in 1925, which was the first major progress past the Bohr electron orbits, which he disregarded completely in that paper.

[@AustinTheCityTV]

Honestly, the movie was amazing. It was cool to see the overlapping of many famous scientists and politicians in history. My favorite quote was when Oppenheimer spoke to Heisenberg, and Heisenberg said, “You clearly don’t know who you’re talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Robert. I am the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No! I am the one who knocks!”

Oppenheimer is a very interesting movie. The getting started of the Nuke-stuff is very different than today. The old ones thought that this was just a Russian and USA weapon. Oppenheimer and many other scientists realized the atomic bomb building blocks were now set in motion and no turning back. If you cannot make it, then buy it as if it were an expensive lightbulb.

Hey Paul. Here is some interesting I was wondering that you might cover. The beginning of Oppenheimer explains who the titan Prometheus was. As I sat in the audience, I couldn’t help but think of Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein subtitled The Modern Prometheus. In a lot of ways the story of Oppenheimer could be seen as a real (modern) retelling of Frankenstein. One wonders if this was deliberate by Nolan or just a big coincidence. This is a question that I think could make for an interesting discussion in a future video.

[@heavyspoilers]

Love that comment, really good pickup with it, might try and work that into something in the future. Thanks so much

[@joal1743]

Well Frankenstein story also took inspiration from the Prometheus story to that’s where the similarities come from. Man gaining the power of a god and being punished by the consequences of having that power.

Funny how you liken it to an Avengers (Marvel) movie... For reasons which should begin to be obvious from the movie, Edward Teller's nickname was "Doctor Doom". This continued after the war with his intense push for development of thermonuclear weapons, and through the 1980s, he was a big proponent of the "Strategic Defense Initiative", commonly referred to as "Star Wars" anti-missile defense, pushed by President Reagan. Well, years later, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created their own "Dr. Doom" for Marvel Comics, and his main opponent was Reed Richards, the leader of the Fantastic Four. And Richards was a lanky scientific genius who constantly smoked a pipe! So yeah, Reed Richards and Victor von Doom were directly based on Oppenheimer and Teller, respectively!

[@jmaitland5709]

The idea that the F35 doesn't work is a meme that comes from a Russia Today article that read the title of a Financial Times article covering a report from the pentagon that they didn't understand- which was that the Air Force wanted to make a new plane with all the new fancy tech of the F-35 but was smaller and cheaper, as a replacement for the *F-16*, with the point being they could sell this new plane to friendly countries that couldn't afford the F-35. The FT saw this and thought this request was actually a proposal for a replacement to the F-35, RT took that and claimed it was an admission the F-35 didn't work, and then it became an internet meme amongst the 'America bad' online crowd.

Quick question. Why did Iron Man character had to make Oppenheimer go throught that trail thingy and what was the ending scene with Einstein mean? Did the gov. just said they were sorry but not sorry in the end and just gave him a medal? English is my second language sorry

[@jmaitland5709]

So to put it simply. Strauss (RDJ's character) wanted his prestigious government position, but he was being overshadowed by Oppenheimer, so he conspired to destroy Oppenheimer's reputation and reframe himself as the hero. And what Einstein said, meant that when they all apologised to Oppenheimer and gave him medals and such, they were only doing it because they felt guilty, and to make themselves feel better, not because they had realised Oppenheimer was actually right.

@@jmaitland5709 so Iron Man didnt do it because of the difference in politics views that Oppenheimer made him look like a fool and that he made Einstein ignored him?

[@jmaitland5709]

@@Chavanun555 It was both I think. Oppenheimer did make him look like a fool its true. But because of how famous and respected Oppenheimer was, people everywhere valued Oppenheimer's opinions and views, which clashed with Strauss's views. As an example: if we think about the scene at the dinner table when they found out the Russians had an atomic bomb too, Strauss wanted to build H-Bombs to counter them, Oppenheimer was opposed to that, and because of how much people respected Oppenheimer, people would choose to listen to him instead of Strauss.

Just learned Strauss was Jewish. Why people omit that? When it a latin, english, irish, muslin or whatever they always include it in the history books

I would like to tell one thing, if people now it can be done it will be done. I have designed 3 products this way

Strauss and Teller were horrible human beings. What they did to Oppenheimer was just criminal.

[@prolife-store]

if Hitler just waited 4 years to start the war, he would've had the bomb to play with.

[@SirToaster9330]

I like Heisenberg, he wasn't loyal to the Nazis he was loyal to Germany
