Albert Einstein, Robert Oppenheimer
Hello, the two great physicists Albert Einstein and Robert Oppenheimer once played chess against each other. You'll find the transcript of the game at the end of this post, but first check out their bio.
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist, widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest and most influential physicists of all time. Einstein is best known for developing the theory of relativity, but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics.
Albert was born in the Kingdom of Württemberg in the German Empire, on 1879 into a family of secular Ashkenazi Jews. Throughout his life, Einstein published hundreds of books and articles. He published more than 300 scientific papers and 150 non-scientific ones. Einstein is winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics for 1921.
Robert Oppenheimer Robert Oppenheimer was an American theoretical physicist. Oppenheimer was the wartime head of the Los Alamos Laboratory and is often credited as the "father of the atomic bomb" for his role in the Manhattan Project—the World War II undertaking that developed the first nuclear weapons. After the war ended, Oppenheimer became chairman of the influential General Advisory Committee of the newly created United States Atomic Energy Commission. He opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb.
