Hello all |

|
|
== Exploratorium Founding == |
|
An editor has repeatedly tried to add a list of the Oscars won by the Oppenhemier film and actors in that film. My view is that this information belongs in the article about the film. This article already notes that there is a film about Oppenheimer and that is enough. This article is about the man, not the film. Also see ]. |

:I should add that the film and actors in it won numerous other awards, so why highlight the Academy Awards? Should we be implying that Oppenheimer is a more important historical figure because a film about him won an award? Should we be listing awards won by any books and films about Oppenheimer? ] (]) 22:53, 13 March 2024 (UTC) |

::Sounds reasonable to me. Some historical figures have become famous due to a film, but I don't think that Oppenheimer has. The article on the film should cover it. ] ] 01:08, 14 March 2024 (UTC) |

The paragraph gives the awards for a BBC production and the awards and nominations for an American documentary PBS production. So public tv awards are okay to show but commercial movie awards are not? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 01:24, 14 March 2024 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== Re the NHK story about Oppenheimer and the 1964 physicist/translator recollections == |

Regarding the addition that has now been reverted four times, the original source is from ], the Japanese public broadcasting company (akin to the BBC). A machine translation of the piece . The story is that during the Hiroshima Nagasaki World Peace Pilgrimage that took place in 1964, atomic bomb survivors came to the United States. One of them was Naomi Shono, a theoretical physicist who desired a meeting, official or otherwise, with Oppenheimer. The NHK piece presents some documentary evidence that such a meeting was requested and was on a printed schedule. Shono subsequently said in a school alumni newsletter, date not given, that during the meeting Oppenheimer said he did not want to talk about Hiroshima or Nagasaki. The interpreter for the meeting, Yoko Teichler, said in a video statement recorded in 2015 that Oppenheimer had cried and repeatedly said "I'm sorry" during the meeting. NHK interviews a DePaul University professor who seems to give the translator's statement some credence. |

NHK has a . It's also been picked up by ] and reproduced in several other Japanese or other foreign-language media outlets. |

Of course, recollections given five decades after an event are fallible. It is worth watching to see if the NHK story gets picked up in the U.S. press or whether there is reaction to it from any Oppenheimer biographers. ] (]) 17:04, 23 June 2024 (UTC) |
